Off-Season Rules Discussion - Annual Rookie Salary Debate

[Preds]

I'm comfortable with the 2nd scale.

Let's get this all wrapped up into a proposal to vote on.

The Undead and Mutts have now checked in that they are in favor of a 2004 implementation, so I think voting on that is moot as they had the most to lose having traded away 2 higher picks.

So, lets update the proposal spreadsheet to reflect all the changes (10% annual increases regardless of max, and new TE scale) and get a poll going to officially vote this in as a rule.

From what I've seen, all are in favor of the new scale with the exception of the Squirrels, who like the lower salaries but are not a fan of incentives. Also the Derby Cars have not checked in on this, nor have the Toxic Waste, however, I have spoken to Kyle and he has viewed the proposed scale, and while he's still digesting it all in, I know he does prefer the proposed scale over the existing one.

As for backtracking the rookie salaries to the past 2 drafts, I think we'd need a seperate poll on that (assuming this new scale passes).

Brian, do you want to write up the polls or do you want me to?

For what its worth, I spoke to the Derby Cars the other night and explained the proposal in general terms. I'm confident he will be in favor of it. He's in the process of updating computer equipment, and will join the discussion as soon as he's able.
