2017/2018 Payouts

With three new owners starting in 2017, they were allowed to pay for year 1 and receive year 2 for free. As far as payouts go, it will be $32.50 for each year, so this proposal is for the years 17/18.

To be clear, the 3 commissioners determined these owners were to be offered the 2nd year for free because 2 MLB rosters were fine, but the minor leagues were basically desolate and when reshuffling these teams, it became clear we had to incentivize new owners to stick around for, 2, 3, 4+ years as all teams will be rebuilding.

As such, here is the proposal for payouts over the next two seasons:

17 owners * $65 = $1105
3 owners * 32.50 = $97.50

Total = $1202.50

Playoff Results:
1st - $352.50 ($850)
2nd - $175 ($675)
3rd - $80 ($595)
4th - $40 ($555)

Regular Season Results:
#1 - $90 ($465)
#2 - $65 ($400)
#3 - $40 ($360)
#4 - $40 ($320)

#5 - $20 ($300)
#6 - $20 ($280)
#7 - $20 ($260)
#8 - $20 ($240)


Stats - $20 to leader x 12 = $240

I second this proposal and I'm confident we've got three new owners who have the mind set of building their rosters for the long run in this league.

Works for me.

I didn't say this publically, but good decision by commissioners. Hope it works out for the new guys, and the payout modification seems reasonable.

Thanks!

As one of the new owners I look forward to trying to walk the line and both compete and build for the future. Not an easy strategy to pull off but one that makes the year interesting. If I can finish eighth and win just one category, I will show a profit for the year.
I will add that the incentive of the reduced cost for the first two years was a major reason I decided to join.
