I’m considering it this year. Took last year off and enjoyed this years tech test. Digital deluxe price increase is criminal though - I’ll wait the extra days.
-
Anyone getting The Show this year? Big changes in Diamond Dynasty and Ranked Co-Op finally gets rewards. Would be down to play Co-Op if anyone is playing. I couldn't play at all last year because the mode was broken so assuming it's fixed, of course.

26th works
-
That times works for me. I wouldn’t be opposed to something a bit later in the day though
-
March 26th at 12EST works for me.

Anytime on the 26th works for me.

We have a majority vote on March 26. I'm going to formally schedule the draft for that date. The remaining 4 owners that have not voted, we can try to determine a time that works best for that date so you can participate. At this rate, it really looks like the best date for the entire league. I'm going to TENTATIVELY schedule the draft time for 12 pm EST on March 26. Please give feedback on the actual time of the draft if that doesn't work for you so we can work on a time.
-
Good for March 26th
-
+1 for March 26 - open pretty much any weekend other than the weekend of March 17/18
-
Thanks for the update Peaky. That date sounds great!
-
Still want more responses to the poll but early on I'm looking at March 26 potentially as draft day. It's a Sunday and I personally will be on vacation so I know I'll be off and available basically anytime that day. Not setting that in stone and can certainly be a different day, but it's also close to Opening Day which I think is typically the best course for draft.
-
Welcome Warrzy3 to the league!
-
Doodle polls seemed to help before so let's do it again.

Choose the dates that you are confident you CAN attend the draft. We'll figure a time out afterward.
-
OK, so my can't do dates are 3/4, 3/5, 3/11/3/12, 3/17 3/18.....other than that any day is good!
-
I can't do 3/4 or 3/25... I believe everything else will work.

Only two days i can’t do is March 17/18, other then that I’m good. Obviously closer to the start of the season ideal.
-
Agreed, weekends work best on my side as well
-
If we are going to start talking about draft days, Sundays would work best for me
-
I spoke with BT through email and he confirmed that he'll be dropping from the league due to time constraints. I just wanted to talk with him to confirm as I always want people who have been in the league to have a chance to remain. I'll remove him from ownership and the team will be up for grabs and we'll start that process now.
-
Fantastic. I am glad you were able to contact him Infant! I know he was in a tough position last year after missing the draft. That sucks. However not being active for the remaining 3 months of the season is a bad show. He team is pretty good and I would think not too hard to fill. If we post the opening now it could be filled sooner.
-
I spoke to BT on discord the other day and he said to replace him if we want, but he would re-up if we needed him to. I urged him to re-up since we had trouble filling spots last year, but haven't heard back since. That was Friday I think.

Not to be a pain in the ass but the last time Team Battle visited the site was Jun 28, 2022. How much longer are we going to give him before we start advertising an opening?
On a different note it was great to see all the last minute trades being made. Only 14 days till spring training! Hang on for a great ride.
-
Thank you to everyone that has reupped. This is WAY better than last year and means we can progress much quicker. I sent an email to Battletank to inquire if they're still playing so hopefully we'll start talking draft dates very soon.
-
Rhys Hoskins also available if you're looking for a 1B. Looking for SP or OF.
-
J.T Realmuto OTB if anyone is interested. Looking for anything that improves my team.
-
Also welcoming trade offers! Have some serious infield depth right now to work with.
-
Anyone interested in making some last day trades before the cuts? Let me know!
-
Assuming everyone reups by the end of the month I'd say we could line something up outside of those dates. If people are actually still around and want to start throwing dates out maybe we can get out in front of the draft coordination.
-
I like the fact that my team had both the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year winners for 2022and NOW we start the coupon process. LOL. Maybe this year will be a good year. Anyway, we need to start deciding when the draft will be. For me Mar 3 thru Mar 12 is out and so is Mar 17, 18. Any other time I will make it work. Ideas?
-
Also, please keep in mind that teams need extended by the end of January if you are continuing in the league. I know myself I'll need to wait a week or so to do it but time is flying these days so it'll be February before we know it. If you know you won't be returning, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to find new owners. We really ran up against the wall last year and if we can avoid that this year it would certainly be less stressful.
-
I think we've gotten enough feedback to say we'll go ahead and start the coupon process with this year. So the major awards in each league (MVP and Cy Young) will earn the owner of that player a $5 coupon to apply to any player on their roster. Rookie of the Year in each league will earn a $3 coupon. Coupons must be used before the end of keeper season and before the draft. Coupons cannot be traded nor used in any other fashion.
-
Im in favor of the coupon idea, being used on anyone
-
I like coupon idea and favor idea of using it for anyone on roster.
-
But I'm still open to debate and conversation on the best option. It won't go into effect until next off-season anyway so there's plenty of time to discuss.
-
I like the idea of the coupon being valid for any rostered player just because it's more interesting. Like, if everyone bids up on Mike Trout for a chance at it just to apply it to Trout, would it really result in a meaningful reward for choosing the MVP? Versus maybe ending up with Trout and he wins, then being able to apply it to a cheaper "core" piece and letting Trout go back into the pool. It just provides more options which I think would be a more fun and interesting application.
-
+1 from me for the main implementation, kind of flipping back and forth between having it apply only to the award winner or to let the team decide though. Honestly wouldn't mind either one though.
-
Yeah anything beyond the big 3 seems like overkill at first implementation. I'd be open to more in the future perhaps at lower rates but that will be 6 players generating coupons which feels like the sweet spot. I can certainly envision other fun things too if we want like a coupon to the player that gets put on the cover of The Show or something. But that is not something I feel needs done now and simply a fun wild card we could consider.
-
Peaky-Are we stopping at the 3 awards you mentioned? Nothing for gold gloves or silver slugger correct? I think that would be overkill. And yes allowing the coupons to be applied against any member of the teams roster would be nice. Anyone else have an opinion?
-
Papi, I sent you the lengthy proposal to your mailbox. Regarding the application of the rebates, however much the team received, they would tell the commish against which player to apply the rebate. Then the commish would manually reduce that players salary. So it is more work and time for the commish.
-
What you're suggesting seems fine to me. I'm all in for adding the spice. Not sure about the standings, you mean having coupons for 1st place, 2nd, etc.? These rebates would be applied manually by Commish ?
-
Just spitballing, I was thinking maybe a $5 discount for the major ones (MVP, Cy Young) and then maybe $3 for Rookie of the Year. Could really spice it up by allowing that coupon to be applied to any member of the roster and not just the recipient. The standings thing could work as well although I'm not overly concerned with tanking in this league. But I think now is a good time to add some spice, whatever it may be. Would love to hear from everyone on the subject.
-
But you don't need to reward the top few teams as they have shown their team can win. It rewards the middle tier teams who are about a year away from winning it all so that they can keep their good players. It kept the league interesting as it was very hard to have repeat league winners. However either coupon method is only as good as the members in the league. The core of this league is great. It would be nice if there was more communication but l realize that life gets in the way.
-
I like both set of discounts although it may be more work for the commish. It is nice to have a player on your team that is recognized for a real life award they receive. So to be able to apply a coupon against their current salary sounds nice. What are we talking about, maybe $5 per award or something? I also like coupons being giving out to teams based upon standings. I don't want to encourage tanking so that is why the proposal reduces the coupon value the lower in the ranks a team is.
-
I quite liked it and felt I had a good shot last year but there were so many injuries I never stood a chance. But I also go more for value versus holding onto guys forever too.
-
Damn Peaky! You really were not happy with your team huh?
-
Just discount coupons awarded for whatever we choose. I love the idea of it for award recipients. Still open to it based off standings as well. I'd even be open to simply awarding the owner a coupon that can be used on anyone; not just the player that won the award. Might be more fun but really just want as much feedback as possible.
-
What exactly are coupons in this regard?

Any more input on some potential ways to spice up the league? I'm less interested in scoring changes, though still open to ideas. It seems there's the most traction with coupons. Both for Award recipients and based on end of season standings. As we go into next season, having any of these changes finalized will allow us to institute the coupon structure for next year and beyond.
