This Puzzle is Starting to Look Like a Picture

We'll start with the three home runs...

1. Draft Date will be Monday, July 20th, 2020. Probably like, 7pm? 8pm? Between 7 and 9pm? We'll get there.

2. We're doing Saves + Holds. To be clear, this is for this shortened season only as a trial run and we will re-vote prior to 2021 with new formed opinions.

3. Playoffs during playoffs. So - definitely need to hash that out. But I'm excited for the challenge this vote provides.

So now, here's the next thing. 11 of 12 votes were cast for roto vs. head-to-head with divisions, and head-to-head with divisions won 6-5. I do not know who didn't vote - doesn't super matter. I guess mainly I was just hoping it would be more heavy on one side or the other. So, we'll do this - if there is anybody that feels overwhelmingly passionate about roto over head-to-head with divisions, please make your case in the GroupMe. You have until.... Wednesday. If there is enough conversation to re-vote, we will do so. Should a debate not ensue, we will be competing in a head-to-head format with divisions.


PLAYOFFS:
So there will be four playoff teams. Here are my questions:

1. Assuming all four teams are alive throughout the entirety of the playoffs... No eliminations.
2. Are we doing all category rotisserie for the duration of the playoffs or points? Down for either - only reason I would lean toward rotisserie is because the town hall debate surrounding how many points certain things are worth is something I'm not sure we have time for...
3. How many players from your existing roster can you keep going into playoffs. None? Two? No limit? Some offense and some defense?
4. Draft order I assume is just whoever has best record is first pick, and so on? Tie breakers for that? What if a team has less playoff-team players so needs to fill more roster spots - extra picks on front end or back end?


What's left:

1. I was just going to put this question in the playoff section and then figured I would just pose it for the entire season - anybody have any strong feelings about the waiver system needing an adjustment because of shortened season? I think allowing all days during the playoffs would be nice since so much can happen and the end of the week doesn't matter. Just throwing that out there.
2. Buy-in. It's at $150 right now. With playoffs it's a little less than half a season... should we do $75? Even $100? Gambling is fun.
3. Draft order. Just, keep the same order that is set / was lotteried? Start over? If the successes and failures of last season are getting pushed to next season, it may seem to reason that we should enter this bonus year on an even playing field.

This is where I'll leave you. Digest this info and either Monday or Tuesday there will be another round of polls as we keep progressing toward 60 days of super duper fun!
