So.... I might be over complicating this, but I have difficulty voting on Prop 3 within the context of the entire ballot.

Essentially, my issue is this...

If Prop 2 passes (meaning we go to a 3-game series for the wildcard), I'd like to vote NO on Prop 3...
but if Prop 2 does not pass (meaning we stick w the 1 game wildcard), I'd like to vote YES on Prop 3.

If I'm the only one thinking this way, I'll just makeup something, it's fine, but I wanted to throw it out there in case anyone else had similar thoughts and see if there was a way to maybe postpone the vote on Prop 3 until after Prop 1 and Prop 2 are decided.

Let's just all agree to pass Prop 1, and then it won't be an issue. :D

Well, just one more clarification on Prop #3 ....

For the 2020 free agent draft, will all 4 wildcard teams be considered "playoff teams" regardless of how this vote goes?

To be clear, I will not be voting on this ballot. Chuck can/should/will vote on my behalf, if he hasn't already.

PLEASE vote the 1 game playoff nonsense the hell out of this league.

I hear the silent majority loves it. Sickening.

Please keep the 1 game wildcard playoff:

Winning a divisional title should mean more than winning the wildcard.
It is very exciting.
It help neutralizes the bonus/penalty rules.

We've already lost 1 great owner who hated the rule, then lost interest in the league, more will be on the way.

This is lightweight shit, and the worst part about a nearly perfect league. Fucking incredible.

So, if I vote twenty times to get rid of the second wild card, they all will count, right?

As a guy who this rule wont effect for probably 4 to 5 years. I will say those two MLB wildcard games were exciting :shock:

However the vote goes, I'll live with it. I understand why someone would be for it. It is exciting, and potentially gets more managers interested. I just think playoffs should be a series not a game.

I agree with you regarding the playoff series, but I look at this as a play in game. Which is why I believe the loser should have a higher draft position and not be lumped in with the playoff teams.

Ideally, you want an equal series to go 7 games - which in a way, ultimately is decided in the last game.
