League changes;
1. Rule 63 currently provides, "that in the event of two or more teams tied for the wildcard slot, a 3 game playoff determines who advances."
The proposed change instead of a 3 game series, is a 1 game, win or go home, play off.
Good enough for MLB, good enough for SCBL.

2. I believe that a
participating membership, makes for a healthier league. So I
propose the follow leadership changes,
to encourage membership
participation, hopefully resulting in a more valued membership within the
league from its members.
These may be voted on as a group or individually,
Commissioner: -- Fail
The Commissioner's tenure will be 3
years, and then rotated to the next Commissioner in line.
All Commissioner prospects will be
approved by a Majority vote from the rest of the League Members.
Any League Member may be nominated or
volunteer to join the Commissioner's rotation.
Vice Commissioner: -- Fail
The Vice Commissioner shall rotate
thru all League members not in the Commissioner's rotation or in the
Rules committee, on a yearly basis.
Any
League Member may pass in his appointed year, and the next in-line
member that is willing to take the Vice Commissioner's duties, will
be appointed.
3 league members will make up the
committee.
The committee will vote on each rule
proposal submitted for the upcoming year, to determine if the rule
proposal is appropriate/meaningful for the SCBL
and then forward the
accepted proposals to the rules meeting for league approval or
dismissal by a proper vote by all league members under league rules.
All Committee Members must be approved by a majority vote
from the remaining members.
Any League Member not in the
Commissioner's rotation or acting Vice Commissioner may volunteer for
the Rules committee.
Trading Director: -- Succeded
Receives trade confirmations from
league managers, verifies and reports successful trades to the Web
site Manager for publication.
The trading Director will keep records
of all trades for 2 years, in case of any disputes that may arise.
Any League Member not in the
Commissioner's rotation or acting Vice Commissioner or on the Rules
committee, may volunteer for the position of Trading Director.
If
more than 1 member volunteers, a vote from the remaining members will
be held, with a simple vote tally, as the winner.
Web site Manager: -- Fail
Keeps the website up to date with the
on-goings of the league.
Any League Member, (fool enough), may
be the Web
site manager.
Event Coordinator: -- Fail
Confers with the Commissioner and Vice
Commissioner in arranging league meeting places and dates.
Any League Member may be the Event
Coordinator.
Stats Manager: -- Fail
Will take the monthly team stats sent in each month and submit a
comprehensive monthly report to the Web site Manager for publication.
He will compile the Year end MVP voting ballot and tabulate the
results, also MVP's of the Month and submit them to the Commissioner
for a final decision.
Any League Member may be the Stats Manager.

Playing Boards;
1. This is taking into account all base situations and the error numbers 15, 16 and 17.
Currently, with runners on base, a "2" Outfielder has a much better play result than a "3" outfielder in 5 situations,
while a "3" is much better than a "2" in only 4 situations.
To correct this, switch the following play results between the "2" and "3" outfielders:
17 with a Runner on 3rd
15 with runners on 1st and 2nd
This would still allow situations where the "2" has a better result, but the overall situations would favor the "3" in 6 of 9 situations.
Putting a "3" outfielder into your lineup to improve your defense should be a good move, not a detriment.
Mike M. -- FV Pond Scum -- Passed

2. All 1st column 6's and 2's, on all cards whether single or double column cards, be treated as though it were a single column result.
For example, a double column card with a 6 in the first column on 11 with runner on 3rd will be a home run not change to a #5 - Double.
A first column 2 with runners on 1st and 2nd will be a home run and not change to #5 - Triple.
Mike D. -- MC Trucks -- Not Passed

3. Rule about 15,16,17 bases empty only.
to avoid playing APBA Ball
For Bases Empty only, a roll of 15,16,17 - re-roll for the following result number
1-2 = 15
3-4 = 16
5-6 = 17
Mike D. -- MC Trucks -- Not Passed
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Change play result 1 with Runners on 2nd and 3rd to Bases Empty, (V Pitchers Use #6).
To earn a "V", pitchers must have given up little or no homers in a season. In SCBL,
"V" pitchers still give up a significant number of HRs, much more than expected even with all star teams.
Mike M. -- FV Pond Scum -- Passed
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Replace the Pitching chart for Consecutive Scoreless Innings from the Start of the Game back to the original APBA chart;
D C-/C B-/B A-

dave h. -- tggers hb-- Passed

6. Proposed Change: Bases Empty, rolls 15, 16 and 17 (all OF-3)
Single, batter out trying for second (Sp F+ #18, 19, 20, safe at 2nd)
John M -- LC Marlins -- Not Passed
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Change PRN#12 with runners on 1st and 2nd to;
F.C., runner out at 2nd, other to 3rd, A-SS PO-2B, (SS 9-10 and 2B 8-9); Double play, 6-4-3

Player Usage;
1. Use the Batters faced fatigue number that APBA gives the Starters.
a. If the Starter is not inline for a grade increase due to Consecutive Scoreless Innings from the Start of the Game,
the inning after he reaches his Batters faced fatigue number, he will drop 1 grade,
and continue to drop 1 grade for each additional inning started. No Pitcher may drop below a "D".
b. If the Starter does receive the grade increase due to Consecutive Scoreless Innings from the Start of the Game,
and then gives up a run, all reductions are accumulative and will be applied immediately.
