Everyone needs to vote. A 2/3 majority is necessary to carry the motion.
FROM BANDIT
I propose the following amendment regarding relegation and how many teams move up and down. Last year Trudem finished no worse than 2nd in all the power categories, but since he didn't win the championship he stayed in the B league. EHB was the only team moving up because he finished 1st under all the criteria and TKO got to stay in the A league even though he really did have a shitty season and there's no way he's going to argue with me about that. My proposal is to tweak it a little bit so what happened to Trudem last year wouldn't happen again. Right now it's this:
VI. Relegation:
i. In normal circumstances, two teams will move up from the B league to the A league and two teams will move down from the A league to the B league. Teams moving down will be determined by power rankings. In the event of a tie, H2H will be the first tiebreaker, breakdown record will be the second tiebreaker, total points the third tiebreaker -- and if we still have a tie, activity level will determine.
ii. The two teams moving up from the B League will go according to these criteria:
1. Champion
2. Regular season breakdown leader
3. Top seed
4. Regular season power rankings leader (this is redundant because if you are the top seed and the breakdown leader, you are going to be the power rankings leader)
5. Regular season points leader
iii. If the B League champion meets all the other criteria, only a single team moves up (and only a single team moves down). Otherwise, the other B League team with the top-most criterion also moves up. (In the unlikely event of a tie activity level will determine).
iv. To Spice Things Up - If in the regular season the B league outscores the A league by 168 points, FOUR teams move instead of two. If that happens, and the B League criteria above doesn't provide four teams, we'll use playoff seeding for the rest.
I propose this change:
Remove the #4 from right now, move Regular season points leader up a spot, and add #5
4. Regular season power rankings leader (this is redundant because if you are the top seed and the breakdown leader, you are going to be the power rankings leader)
1. Champion
2. Regular season breakdown leader
3. Top seed
4. Regular season points leader
5. Any team that ends the regular season with a power ranking of 32.5 or above
RATIONALE:
In order to have a power ranking that high, you would have to finish 2nd by yourself in two of the categories for points, breakdown, or record and finish no worse than tied for 2nd in the only category that you didn't finish 2nd in. It still keeps the criteria very high, but if you have a 2nd dominant team, they would still get to move up. For example, last year Trudem finished tied for 1st in record (11.5 power), 2nd in points (11 power), and 2nd in breakdown (11 power) for a total power ranking of 33.5, so he would have moved up under the new criteria. Even if he had finished tied for 2nd in record (10.5 power) he still would have moved up with a 32.5 power ranking, but if he had fallen into a three way tie for 2nd in record (10 power) then he would have only had a 32 power ranking which would have left him short. Like I said, it doesn't change a lot, but I think if you have two dominant teams in the B league they should both move up.
