Tanking/Competitive Balance Rule
CHANGE TO TANKING RULE FOR 2020 ONLY we are removing 1 Warning with only a 6 week season.
We are going to use a AB/IP Minimum for 2020. Those numbers will be 50 AB/10 IP PER WEEK. If you do not meet either min in a week you will be given a loss for the categories you failed to meet the mins for whether its AVG/OPS or ERA/WHIP that would be 2 offensive categories or 2 pitching categories or if you miss both mins 4 categories plus issued a penalty as well.
Penalty:
-Step 1: Warning provided via PM.
-Step 2: Loss of 1st Rd pick
-Step 3: Loss of 2nd Rd pick
-Step 4: Loss of 3rd Rd pick
Draft Pick lost will team's next untraded 1st (or 2nd/3rd) pick that is lost in the following draft unless already traded then we would go to the next draft and forfeit that years pick.
If 60 games are played
1. Schedule - Multiple Match-ups Per Week - details to be hammered out this week
2. How to handle contract - stand pat, no changes
3. 2021 Draft - Based on 2020 Standings
4. Trade Deadline: August 31st
5. COVID Waiver Passes - Unlimited Waiver Passes that can ONLY be used for players specific to COVID issues which includes: A.) any 2020 free agent signing who has opted out on the 2020 season B.) Any player who opts out in-season. **Is subject to change as we learn more about how MLB handles things.**
If under 60 games are played
1. Contracts - We would re-open this for vote with same 3 options
2. 2021 Draft Order - We would likely vote on 2 lottery options depends on how many games are actually played.
* It's hard to prepare totally for what happens if the season goes poorly and we end up playing under 60 games that are scheduled.
* With that said teams need to be careful with trades/transactions. It's hard to know what contracts will look like at the end of 2020 should things so badly in 2020. Its possible you trade or waive a 2020 then things go poorly and that team has the option to extend them a year who traded for them or claimed them on waivers.
Once we finalize the schedule and COVID WP I will post them here.
