Rule Changes

Apr 26th 2022 By Chicago WINNERS

I was originally planning to write about 3 areas of the game but I've already addressed the Queue in a previous article in this series so I've narrowed it down to two.

1. Promoting
It happens nearly every time that a new team is created that they press the promote button and bid on their own players, why is this even an option? There shouldn't be an option to bid on one's own player unless someone else has bid on them. This isn't a huge deal but I feel it is good too address.

2. Position Switching
A component position switching system is much more important (In my opinion) then number one is. Here is how it would work (it's a complicated system but I think it could work)

Ok so there would be a position switching button right next to the promote button on the player page however, realistically a guy doesn't switch to any position without any influence on his defensive ability, (if a guy is too few away from 100 for the changes they would just go too 100)
Here is a example using catcher:
C-1B:+5
C-2B:-3
C-SS:-6
C-LF:-2
C-CF:-6
C-RF:-4
I don't know how else too replicate
it

As Always, let me know what you think

Thanks,
Bez Edit: Playoff byes are a bit broken So if a team gets a bye of the second round of worlds but then has a tougher opponent then a team who gets a bye of the third round of worlds I think that instead the second best record team should get a 2 PM bye and the 1 Seed should get the 7 PM Bye
