Election Day





Today we head to the polls to decide whether or not to change a rule in place. The rationale for this proposed change appears in the post below this one. Voting will take place here on SurveyMonkey all day Thursday, ending at midnight Pacific Time. One vote per team, please. Results will be announced Friday morning.

To give a side by side comparison both the old Rule 3 and the new proposal are here to read once more:


Current Rule

3. Minor League maintenance: Minor Leagues will fall under the same WIS Fair Play Guidelines for fielding a competitive ML team with only exception being the winning percentage which will be lowered to .200 instead of .250 for any one minor league team. Specifically: 

• Minor League team expected winning percentage of less than .200 for at least 80 games of the regular season. 

• Using a starting pitcher at 50% or below fatigue for 10 or more Minor League games in a row. 

• First violation will receive a warning from the Commissioner asking for correction. The second incident will be directed to The Executive Committee for possible removal from Crash Davis. 






New Proposal:

3. Minor League maintenance: Minor Leagues will fall under the same WIS Fair Play Guidelines for fielding a competitive ML team with the following additions:

   Any team using a starting pitcher at 50% or below fatigue for 10 or more Minor League games in a row . . .  

  Any  team with 6 or more players (who are not injured) at zero rest . . . 

  Any team with pitchers playing the field or offensive players pitching for more than 5 games  . . . 

 . . . will be notified and asked by the commissioner to correct the issue. Failure to comply within 10 games of notification will result in referral to the Executive Committee for possible expulsion. If the team is given more time to correct the problem it will be short-term. The second time this occurs will result in the owner's automatic removal from Crash Davis.
