MINUTES FROM VSU PREP MEETING

[Mwils1]

Hey Nuffers...

The FOLLOWING was discussed and decided on for the

VSU PURE SIM SEASON I


These updates will be added "IN RED" on the rules section of the site


FIELDING - MIN 70 RATING

A Player can play any position in the field where his rating in that position is AT LEAST 70

If you have a situation where you have no choice but to play someone in a position under 70 - you must clearly communicate this to your opponent - who must agree.... as well you must notify an admin of the occurrence. You can do so via text

STARTING PITCHER - MIN 75 STAMINA

A Pitcher is eligible to be including in your starting rotation as long as he has a MIN 75 STAMINA Rating

If you have a situation where you have no choice but to start someone with less than a 75 stamina rating - you must clearly communicate this to your opponent - who must agree.... as well you must notify an admin of the occurrence. You can do so via text


STARTING PITCHER - MAX 9 INNINGS PITCHED IN ANY 1 GAME

CLOSER - MAX 2 INNINGS PITCHED IN ANY 1 GAME


STAMPED PLAYERS

The Following players/positions MUST BE STAMPED and CLEARLY ANNOUNCED in your team section and your team page

STARTERS - 5 Starters

note: you must pitch your starters IN ORDER and based on the game number you are in.. .

for example -

Your #1 Starter should start your 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th...etc etc games

Your #3 Starter should start your 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th... etc etc games


CLOSER - 1 CLOSER

note: you can use your STAMPED CLOSER in no more than 3 consecutive games...

Keep in mind that just because you have announced a STAMPED CLOSER - you do NOT have to use that closer to close any game.

however whenever you do use your closer.... whether it is to close a game... or to pitch any inning - you can only use him 3 straight games.


CATCHER - 1 CATCHER

YOUR STAMPED Catcher is only allowed to start 75% of all games played.

THAT INCLUDES PINCH HITTING -

Bottom Line - when your stats are checked... your stamped catcher should not have played in more than 75% of all games played


ALL PLAYERS on ROSTER

EACH AND EVERY PLAYER ON YOUR ACTIVE ROSTER MUST Participate in at least 10% of all your games played.

HITTERS/FIELDER (YOUR BENCH)

ALL RESERVES MUST START IN AT LEAST 10% OF YOUR GAMES PLAYED WHEN STATS ARE CHECKED -

A START CONSISTS OF A MINIMUM OF 3 AT BATS IN THE GAME - STARTING FROM THE FIRST INNING

PINCH HITTING DOES NOT COUNT AS A START OR A GAME PLAYED

Bottom Line - when your stats are checked... your stamped catcher should not have played in more than 75% of all games played

So for every game played by your players... when we do the match each player must be within minimum at-bats range

example -Time to check stats and we check ORIOLES

Orioles have played 10 games -

We will be looking to see that every player has started at least 1 game (10%) and has at least 3 at bats

if my reserve shortstop Itzuris shows that he has played 1 game with at least 3 at bats - that is good

if my reserve shortstop Itzuris shows that he has played 3 games with at least 2 at bats - that is NOT GOOD


RELIEVERS

ALL RELIEVERS MUST PITCH IN AT LEAST 10% OF YOUR GAMES PLAYED WHEN STATS ARE CHECKED -

An ELIGIBLE GAME CONSIST OF PITCHING TO AT LEAST 1 BATTER - NOT 1 PITCH - 1 BATTER

Of course if you get the batter out with 1 pitch that is fine - the game will count for the pitcher

TRADING

You will be able to trade AFTER you sign your contracts and BEFORE you play your first game when the season officially opens

After you play your first game - you must play 20 before you can trade again

Remember - your players MUST BE SIGNED to a contract before they can be traded - this includes reserves that you decide to trade

DEADLINE ON FLAT CAP PROCESS

10/20/11 MIDNIGHT EASTERN

If you do not manage your flat cap - WE WILL

After the flat cap process

All teams will then go back to the entire roster and announce a MAXIMUM 40 man roster

Of those 40 MAX - all teams will announce their 25 MAN opening day roster and SIGN THOSE CONTRACTS


OK dats it for now
