Full list of players now available on waivers... Winter Waivers Part 2 Round 2
Winter Waivers
Presenting the first official transactions of our three new franchises (well, one of them anyway)...
Winter Waivers Part 2 Round 2 (the players waived above PLUS the leftovers from the Dispersement Draft) will expire at 6:00 PM Central time on Thursday February 7.
Constitutional Update
I'm nearly done updating the Constitution with the recently-adopted revisions, and will get the new version posted as soon as possible. The rules surrounding transactions will clearly require the heaviest revisions and could probably stand a full re-write, so what I may do is post an interim version with all the changes incorporated and then work on doing a more detailed revision to the Articles covering the transactions.
One More Vote
We've got one last item to vote on... our fees for 2008. Several years ago we added a clause to the Constitution - the Escalator Clause. This rule states that every year we should vote on whether to raise the annual fees by $5 per team. If adopted, that full amount ($60) would go to prize pool. This would increase the winner's share by $30, second place by $15, third by $9, and fourth by $6. In addition, if we increase the fees in 2008, we would not vote on another increase until 2o10.
Since anything affecting fees is a significant change, it was decided that a Yes vote from 75% of the owners would be required to adopt the increase. Since adding the clause, the motion to increase fees has been defeated every year, but that's not going to stop us from trying again.
I'll be sending a separate e-mail calling for a vote on this, but you can start giving it some thought now.
