  • Polar Bear - I know you’re not trying to pull a fast one here, so no worries. Gotta give our format’s founder lots of credit for foreseeing this possibility in our constitution

    Puig's Driver on March 29, 2020 5:24 PM

  • No worries Commish, this is an odd situation. I’m glad to have you at our helm.

    Puig's Driver on March 29, 2020 5:20 PM

  • Well, there you go!

    The Des Moines Prohibitionists on March 29, 2020 5:09 PM

  • Apparently that is still controlled by Rule V, section g: "The team that dropped the player may not nominate or bid on the player until 30 days after the drop date, unless the keeper deadline or the league's auction draft occurs in between the drop date and the player's new auction."

    Polar Bear Yard Crew on March 29, 2020 4:51 PM

  • The reason I had asked about Betances was because misunderstood the effect of Rule V, section i: "If a team changes ownership, the new owner is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts."

    Polar Bear Yard Crew on March 29, 2020 4:50 PM

  • Puig's Driver: This is the first time I claimed a team post-auction. In prior experience, the free cuts did not prevent me from nominating players during the auction, and I thought that this would also apply post-draft. But the rules do specifically mention this, which I had missed before.

    Polar Bear Yard Crew on March 29, 2020 4:48 PM

  • Given my uncertainty, I was going to err on the side of allowing polar bear to bid.

    The Des Moines Prohibitionists on March 29, 2020 4:06 PM

  • It is not exactly clear the rule, at least not to me. Maybe the fact that polar bear cannot place a bid means the 30 day wait also applies to penalty free cuts. Is that the understanding of others?

    The Des Moines Prohibitionists on March 29, 2020 4:01 PM

  • Being entitled to free cuts as a one time accommodation for new owners seems entirely reasonable. However, giving a new owner special re-auction privileges within 30 days just because the cuts were free is a bridge too far. Commish, I’m surprised you even considered this. What would be the argument for doing so - am I missing something?

    Puig's Driver on March 29, 2020 3:11 PM

  • No dice. Thanks for trying, Commish!
