Question
With a unique 2020 if we had to do roto instead of H2H would there be a way to still have a playoff set-up like we would have in H2H set-up?
Answer
Hi, it's not possible to do roto with playoffs. A coupe of suggestions would be:
1. Do a roto regular season, then copy the league at playoff time, changing the copied league to H2H for playoffs.
2. Keep it as H2H, and add more matchups per period. You could have as many as you want, including playing against every team each period, creating a closer feel to roto.
Thanks,
Brandon

1. As much as I HATE roto it might be the most easy.
We could do H2H Vs our division that would cover most of the 6 week reg season then go into 3 week playoffs.
We could try to do some multiple match-ups per week as well.
2. If you’re going to leave contracts in place, I think it’s better to just extend everyone by a year (2021 expiration's become 2022, arb 2022 guys become arb 2023 guys). For dudes specifically with 2020 contracts, I’d either be for universally making them 2021 (simplest). Or for allowing GMs to decide. So everyone who is not 2020 would automatically get pushed but specifically the 2020 guys the GM would announce whether they prefer to push them to 2021 or let them expire (so awful contracts could expire).
3. This one is tough. Its almost either let the 60 games determine it (if we even make it 60) or something like a full league lottery
4. In 2020 with 60 games (or less) I would lean to No Title.
5. I wouldn't want any trading for a bit so I would lean towards allowing it resume July 15 with a Aug 31st trade deadline.

We will probably leave this open for a week or so then vote on each part if voting is needed to get final amendments.

1. I think there are a few reasonably ways to go.
2. If the season doesn't get canceled or other craziness doesn't happen where we decide to cancel it or not award a title, then we should push contracts back a year. Possibly give owners that option. If we have a season that goes through the world series, then contracts just stay as they are.
3. Again, if we go through the end of this season finishing with our World Series, then we've had a season and can base the draft order on it. If we don't make it to WS then we should cancel season and draft order should be determined differently maybe with the bottom 5 teams in a lottery
4. No title if we don't get through our WS imo.
5. We might need to push back the trading deadline to either Aug 31 or end of fypd since fypd might go beyond the normal deadline since it is so late this year. Maybe no mlb players can be traded after the deadline though.

1. Schedule: I like the idea of playing each team and your division and then two from the same geographical division in the opposite league (kind of like MLB will be doing).
2. Contracts: I am biased here with a glut of 2020 contracts. I'll throw out an idea of giving each owner 5-10 contract extensions to use with their roster, across all players. I prefer something like that to pushing every contract back.
3. 2021 Draft Order: I prefer some type of lottery - possibly taking bottom team in each division for picks 1-6, second worst for picks 7-12, etc.
4. Title: It's just a title, no $ or anything - give it out. Top team.
5. Trading: No preference - OK with whatever majority/commish decides.

Another option being discussed is multiple match-ups per week in other leagues. So that would probably be one of the options we would vote on as well in H2H.

1) Weird H2H
2) If the season gets canceled or other craziness doesn't finish, then we should push contracts back a year. If we have a season that goes through the world series, then contracts just stay as they are.
3) If we get through the end of this season finishing with our World Series, then we've had a season and can base the draft order on it. If we don't make it to WS then we should cancel season and draft order should be determined differently maybe with the bottom team in each division for picks 1-6, second worst for picks 7-12, etc.
4) It's just a title, no $ or anything - give it out. Top team.
5) Trading should be wide open, no deadline this year.

1.
I’m all for a modified short season (weird H2H). Play everyone in your division and then random for whatever is left. Then do normal playoffs.
2. How to handle contracts
* With less than half a season (60 games) what to do with contracts.
If we have a season and it goes through a playoffs, then I say contracts stay as they are and progress since we declared a season and champion. If stuff is cancelled then the contracts add a year. I am not for owners getting to decide who they keep an extra year. Either all contracts extend as if the year never happened or none extend.
3. How to handle 2021 Draft Order
* Is 60 games enough for a 2021 Draft Order? If not what would be alternatives to coming up with draft order for 2021?
If we complete the season then we use the standings as a draft order.
4. Who wins title if things go badly (no playoffs)
* #1 Overall Team
* No Title
No title if not won on the diamond so to speak.
5. Trading
* Resumes One Week Before Opening Day (July 15)
* Trade Deadline Aug 31st
Sounds good

1. Schedule (Reg Season + Post-Season) Roto for 2020
2. How to handle contracts
* With less than half a season (60 games) what to do with contracts. - extend by 1 year unless you want to drop

Reverse order of Roto standings
4. Who wins title if things go badly (no playoffs)
Top team if 50 + games. If less, no title

The trade deadline kind of needs to be extended at least partially of the fypd is still ongoing and it might be this year as the fypd has been pushed back quite a bit.
I'd suggest keeping reading open until the end of fypd (if fypd extends past the normal deadline), but no playoff team can use any players acquired in the playoffs. This way 3rd rounders can still be traded without limitation, but no one will benefit this season by the extended deadline.

1. Schedule - I think we go AL v AL and NL v NL for the regular season in the multiple matchup format. The take the top 4 from each league for the playoffs.
2. How to handle contracts - Push all contracts one year. No GM opt out.
3. How to handle 2021 Draft - How about combining 2020 and 2021 records?
4. Who wins title if things go badly (no playoffs) - No title
5. Trading - Don’t care

1. Schedule: multiple match-ups per week.
2. How to handle contracts: my vote is contracts stand.
3. How to handle 2021 Draft Order: 60 games in 2020 decides.
4. Who wins title if things go badly: Best record or most wins
5. Trading: July 15th to August 31st good enough.

1. Schedule: not sure how multiple match ups a week would work, so would it be H2H but not a full week? Might be tough since you could have no SPs throwing in a short week. I am open to anything even a straight roto. With only 60 games, trying to do playoffs is going to be tough, so maybe roto is the way to go?
2. How to handle contracts: I vote giving owners a choice to extend or let the contract move forward. If we extend, would this also include pp ($0.8) years?
3. How to handle 2021 Draft Order: If we get a full 60 games in let 2020 decides. If not, revert back to last year.
4. Who wins title if things go badly: Either way best record
5. Trading: July 15th to August 31st - anything works for me, not sure if expanding it hurts anything.

Are officially voting or just putting suggestions/discussion? Either way:
1. Schedule (Reg Season + Post-Season) - I'd vote for roto regular-season then move to H2H playoffs. I think the option of increasing the games within division would be problematic as not all divisions are equal
2. How to handle contracts - punt a year, give the owner a chance to dop a 2020 if it's garbage
3. How to handle 2021 Draft Order - depends on outcome of #1, IMO
4. Who wins title if things go badly (no playoffs) - No Title
5. Trading - no preference, anything is fine w/me
