No Changes - for anyone.

I really question the logic of making Sunday evening the universal deadline. I was out of town at a wake yesterday which led to an unexpected obligation that lasted well into the evening and as a result I will miss out on points from the debut of Kenzo Suzuki. The overlying reason for making it Sundays was that it was simpler for the deadline to always be the same time, whether there is a PPV or not. With the high importance of PPV scoring in this league, I dare say that if some people cannot remember when the PPVs are, perhaps it isn't in the best interest of the rest of the league to accomodate them.

I'll have the Standings and Stats up sometime this evening.

MITH - if memory serves, the deadline has always been Sunday. And as much as i am a proponent of the Sunday deadline, I agree that i often don't remember until after said deadline.

that being said, i believe the deadline was always sunday, and we were very, very loose with it - often allowing the posting of rosters until shortly before Raw began on non-PPV weeks.

also, IIRC, we went hard and fast with a deadline because someone wanted to do what amounted to a roster change after Raw had already begun.

I could be very well be mixing situations up in my head, but that's what i'm remembering...

The official - unenforced from the beginning - deadline was always Sunday, but we always accepted rosters on Monday nights. You're right, someone decided it would be a good idea to cite that lenience to try to get a roster change in after they saw that their benched wrestler would be on the PPV that was had already started that night - and that can of worms was why we had to act fast to ensure that we enforce a deadline from now on.

But there were multiple proposals on the table to vote on, one of which (mine) was that we simply change the rule to the method that everyone had grown accostomed to. I'll stop bitching now, I'm just sore because I got burned out of my first real opportunity to have 6 scorers this season.

I have been hating this rules for weeks. But the few of us who saw this coming (people having a life outside of Rotoguru on weekends) were outvoted. I have no idea what people's logic was for wanting a hard 6pm deadline no matter what but that's how the vote went.

I am definately up for fixing that deadline though. Maybe now is the time for a new proposal MITH. Obviously it couldn't go into effect until week 11 but with people now realizing how stupid the rule is you may have luck changing it.

I voted for the 6pm before, but would probably change now. I don't get to this until Monday morning......or late Sunday evening, too late.

Here's the voting. Assuming everyone except MIke D would vote the same, we'd have a 5-5 tie, which would not be enough to change the current rule.

Actually, after reading through the proposal tread, I see that the original (unenforced) deadline wasn't Sunday at 6PM, but midnight Saturday night. Not sure that it really matters, but setting it at Sunday was in fact a change from the original rule.

If one more person posts that they'd change from Sunday eves to Monday for non-PPV weeks, I'll post a new prop.

If anyone else thinks a new prop should be posted anyway, be my guest, you know how I'll vote.

I honestly don't care either way. My roster never changes.

No Changes. :)

I would change to A, since I thought B was for 8:45 on Monday nites unless there was a pay per view.... DUH.
