Non-Attending

As the AOM started,
the Commissioner expressed his sincerest apologies for not getting to this
sooner. Then he went on to start the AOM.
The
Commissioner referred to his list on the message board that he had been adding
items to discuss throughout the 22 season. He opened the meeting with those
items:
1 - Proposed
that as per previous discussions early last season, we need to alter the new HC
scoring system that was introduced for the 22 season. The options to change to
(and their votes) were as follows:
A) You get 50%
of your HCs score, no negative scores for choosing a losing coach: Clay
B) You get
the margin of victory, positive if you pick a winning coach, negative if you
pick a losing coach, amended to a maximum of +/-10pts: David, Mike, Rob,
Carl/Susan, Garts, Marina, Matt *This proposal passes for immediate implementation
C) JPL
proposed a type of Proline/Pickem thing that did work with the current
schedule the way it is set up: JPL
D) Brian
proposed a positive/negative bonus + all or a portion of the HC scores based on
if you picked a winning or losing HC: Brian, Sabu
2 Since we dont give the ST/D any field goal
points, do we want to allow punt singles to be given ONLY to the Kicker:
Yes: JPL,
David, Mike, Rob, Carl/Susan, Brian, Garts
No:
Non-Voters: Sabu,
Clay, Marina, Matt (item had passed already before they voted)
*Proposal
passes for immediate implementation
3 Proposal
to officially have a rule completely abolishing any possibility of anyone using
the If/Then rule. Going forward, if anyone tries to use the If/Then rule, the 1st
player they mention will be their starter.
Yes: JPL,
David, Mike, Rob, Carl/Susan, Brian, Garts
No:
Non-Voters:
Sabu, Clay, Marina, Matt (item had passed already before they voted)
*Proposal
passes for immediate implementation
4 Opened the
floor to see if anyone wanted to tinker with the scoring at all, or if it was
good the way it is currently:
Yes change
to:
No, good as
is: JPL, David, Mike, Rob, Carl/Susan, Brian, Garts
Non-Voters:
Sabu, Clay, Marina, Matt (item had passed already before they voted)
*No
changes in scoring this season (other than kicker/ST/D noted in #2 above)
5 Asked
that since we have no limit on positions in starting lineup, do we want any
limits:
Yes, limit RBs
to 3: JPL, Brian, Sabu, Clay
Yes, limit RBs
to 4: David, Mike, Carl/Susan, Garts, Marina, Matt *passes for immediate implementation
No limit required:
Rob (voted this based on past bad experience)
Non-Voters: N/A
6 Asked if
we need a more solid deadline for submitting lineups as there is currently no written
rule, just an Honor System type of thing. A brief discussion ensued with the
following proposals and votes:
Yes, midnight
the night before the 1st game: JPL, Mike, Carl/Susan, Brian, Matt,
Marina *passes for immediate implementation
Yes, but
only 2 hours before kickoff of the 1st game: Garts
No deadline
required, as it is fine the way it is now: David, Rob, Clay
Abstain:
Sabu (if you go back in the thread, Sabu voted on item #8 twice when I think he
meant to vote on this on his 2nd posting)
I
want to implement this rule on a 1-year trial basis only and will revisit to
see how well this worked at the next AOM
7 The Commissioner
suggested that perhaps we could add in some kick return yards and/or successful
onside kicks to the scoring. However, he thought better of the idea and withdrew
his proposal.
8 Asked if
we required any penalty points for when an owner starts a player that has
already been started by their opponent.
Yes: Rob (-2
or -3), Carl/Susan (-2 or -3)
No, getting
the 0 is enough: JPL, David, Mike, Brian, Sabu, Marina, Matt, Clay *No vote passes, no further action required as no changes
are required
Abstain: Garts
After the
completion of all the voting, the Commissioner opened the floor for any new
business. No one had anything further to bring up.
The
Commissioner officially closed the AOM.
When
typing out the minutes, it occurred to me that I never did a full Commissioners
Report complete with the financial report (my apologies). There was nothing
really to report, all league fees were paid, all prize money was paid out
immediately following the completion of the Championship game, and the account
is at $0 as per the rules set forth from previous AOMs.
The
only thing of any importance really is:
-
I did not get a plate for the trophy engraved. I actually dont
even know who has the trophy, so whoever has it (Garts?)
needs to return it to me so that I can get a plate put on and give it to our
current Champion, Clay
-
I have been working on some team logos (with my non-existent
spare time), but they are in the works, very slowly, but in the works
-
As mentioned via e-mail, I have created and posted the divisions
and schedule for the 2023 season. I just need to update the Owners list again
since Matt & Marina got married and her name changed, post this AOM
summary, change & post the scoring rules to show the changes that were made
above for K, ST/D & HC, and then I think we are 100% good to go for the
start of the season on June 8.
If anyone
has any questions or concerns, please either e-mail me, leave a post on the
league message board, or contact me directly.
Thank you
all for all your input and attention to detail, that is what makes this league
such an enjoyable league to play in. Good luck to all of you in the upcoming
2023 season!
