more volunteers needed...

[Admin]

as i will no longer be able to do any 'housekeeping' for the league. that means yahoo, silent bids, milb draft, and off-season FA will need somebody to process all or we find an easier way to do things here at cashman. thanks to det for doing the entry draft this year and to minn for all he does.

any ideas as to how to do things easier/diff ways are welcomed. pitts has suggested that he open yahoo and each individual manager now updates his own team....which will have to be policed by all the other managers for any accidental mistakes.

ill continue to monitor the message board and set-up cats/boards for the drafts/fa.
then
just going to play/lose here a the big c.

The sheet processing of fa cuts was a miscommunication. I thought chi was doing them. I can worn my way back and check them, or if you have moves needed processed feel free to post or bump them.

I am in amother dynasty that we have open yahoo so if I cut altuve then I just drop him in yhoo and we have to trustworthy and/or tattle tails. We could do that for yahoo I think. I can handle spreadsheet for most part w pitt? As backup. Running special events should be easy enough. Free agent bids is a big job cuz it's a time commitment regularly.

another thing to make a person thinking of taking on FA bid processing is you can change the time if 6 PM doesn't work for you, it used to be 6 AM I think, or if 10 PM works better for you. I can help with the spreadsheet stuff and if yahoo is unlocked all the person has to do is open FA Bid account at the time and tally up who won who and post on here then the players can add and drop for yahoo and I can follow with sheet whenever.

I would be glad to help more. I thought I had commissioner access in Yahoo, but that is not the case. I would be glad to help. I think we just need to have a good open dialogue in the chat. If something needs to be done, I'll be glad to help.

There are times where it is really difficult for me as I have a 17 year old and 9 month old, full time job and I volunteer in the community. I also commish my own leagues too. But, if I had the access, I will be glad to help.

I think we have a relatively trustworthy group of managers here. Mistakes happen, it's human. Maybe we just open everything up to everyone and institute a "buddy check" for the spreadsheets. If 1 mgr modifies the change in the SS, another mgr just verifies the modification are correct?

I can try to help out anywhere needed.

Ok. Here's the plan as I see it. Chicago has veto authority here. Everyone else please feel free to voice your opinions and we can modify this if needed.

Daily Roster Changes (cuts/waivers/call ups):
I will unlock all teams in Yahoo and owners will now make their own roster moves. This is on the honor system, though I'm sure everyone will be policing this. The procedure will be as follows-
1. Announce your move in the appropriate cashman forum, just as we always have done. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
2. A commissioner (Pirates/Chicago/Twins) will approve the move by replying in the forum.
3. You are then free to process your transaction in Yahooo. (DO NOT PROCESS IT BEFORE APPROVAL.)
4. Pirates or Twins will update the spreadsheet.

Free Agent Bidding
The only change to this process is that each owner will have to process his own yahoo transactions.
1. Submit your bids to the FA BIDS account as always.
2. I will open them and post the results at the appropiate times. (Just as Chicago always has done.)
3. The Pirates or Twins will update the spreadsheets.
4. Once the bid results have been posted, you may process the change on Yahoo.

Trades
Because all teams will be unlocked in Yahoo, you can process trades yourself with the cooperation of the other owner. I presume we all know how to propose and accept a trade in Yahoo. However, DO NOT PROPOSE A TRADE IN YAHOO UNTIL IT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY A COMMISSIONER.
1. Negotiate your trade via PM or email or whatever (just as you always have done.)
2. Post your trade here on the board and have the other owner confirm the trade. (just as always)
3. A commissioner will give approval to process the trade.
4. Go into Yahoo and propose the trade to the other owner. The other owner will accept the trade and the rosters will automatically be updated. DO NOT PROPOSE THE TRADE UNTIL A COMMISSIONER HAS APPROVED.
5. The Pirates and Twins will update spreadsheets.


For special events like drafts and free agency, we will wing it with a community effort.


Does this sound doable???
