Option #2

Alright, let's dive in to this...


Big decision #1 - Rotisserie or Head-to-Head.

I think the only way Head-to-Head makes sense is to make three, four team divisions and have division winners and one wild card team make the playoffs. I think having it all one league like we've had it would be stupid.

Rotisserie would be fun and have everybody playing all eight weeks, which is a big plus. But then that brings me to...


Big decision #2 - Playoffs during the season or playoffs during the playoffs.

If the playoffs are during the MLB playoffs, that makes Head-to-Head more appealing. We'd all get 8 weeks of action, so that's nice. Now that I think of it, if we did Roto, there wouldn't be playoffs... that's the point of roto.... BUT! If we did roto, we could have the top four teams still do something during the playoffs as playoffs?

Big decision #2b - If we did playoffs during the playoffs, how would that work?

There isn't really much of a simple way to do this? I mean, there is the blueprint from the Football Franchise that some of you are in but that I'm still not....... We could go that direction - keep players on your roster that apply, draft the rest, do points / categories for the duration of the playoffs and the winner, wins. The rosters are so large that we couldn't really redraft every round of the playoffs cause, everyone would have the same team during the world series... If we went this route we'd really have to talk it out and I would need some guidance.


Big decision #3 - Draft date / style.

I think if we really all try hard, we can get a zoom meeting going and draft like brave, responsible Covid adults. All at one time. Together. We're nothing if we're not all in this together. Anytime between the 19th and the 22nd? Sunday - Wednesday. Evening. I mean, we're still like, sort of all couped up in our houses, right?


Smaller decision #1 - Saves or Saves+Holds.

This was a bit of a hot topic in the chat a little bit ago. I think this is a good opportunity to give it a test run. I just think saves are going to be sad. I guess if we do head-to-head, it doesn't super matter. But, if we go roto, I would strongly push for Saves+Holds so that there are like, you know, stats happening.


Smaller decision #2 - Should we let John play this year now that his state is shutting back down.

It just, concerns me, you know? He's just surrounded by irresponsible people doing irresponsible things, getting Covid... I'm worried about the integrity of the league and the precedent it will set to all other leagues if we don't take this Pandemic seriously. We'll put it to a vote.


Important decision that I didn't realize until I was finishing up this post - how are we going to vote on these things? I can put polls up in the GroupMe and we can go from there. Wild idea - we could practice zoom and have a nice little virtual round table about it soon. My brain is melting so, people start saying things in the GroupMe and I trust that decisions will follow.
