[Ringo]

Only one franchise left to vote and a reminder PM has been sent. Hope Admin does not have to use casting vote to decide.

Only one franchise left to vote and a reminder PM has been sent. Hope Admin does not have to use casting vote to decide.

If it is a tie between 2 choices in the 3 choices group and is something like this: 2 -7-7 then it would be good if we had a revote and we could only choose between the two options. The 2 may have both voted for the same option if their first choice was ruled out

No doubt, I can't wait.

OK Votes are all in

I will be resending vote 1 with only 2 options.  Overwhelmingly we have decided that a change in scoring system is required.  However the voting for Stadium Sports and Ultimate Sports is tied and rather than use my casting vote I will send another vote allowing those who voted for no change to contribute. Will not disclose current voting. Vote will be sent today and will close at midnight Sunday,


Vote 2
Changes to team Lists
1.   No Change - 2 votes
2.   No Change to 45 players but removing rookie list - 9 votes
3.   Increase lists to 48 players with rookie list - 4 votes
4.   Teams finishing 13th â€" 16th allowed to increase lists to 48 but must revert to 45 players when finishing above 13th. No rookie list. - 1 vote

Rookie lists will be abandoned going forward

Vote 3
Changes to priority picks:
1.   No change - Rule 3.4  Teams finishing with 4 wins or less will be allocated a priority pick at the conclusion of the fisrt round of draft.  Order will be based on finishing position on Ladder.  Tanking for these picks will not be tolerated and penalty will be loss of both 1st round and priority pick. 6 votes
2.   Change â€" Teams winning 2 or less games per year to receive priority pick after pick 2 in National Draft with teams winning 4 games but more than 2 games receive additional picks at conclusion of Round 1. Tanking will not be tolerated and will result in forfeiture of Round 1 pick as well. 10 votes
This change is to try and help poor teams become more competitive.
This change will be put into rules with effect from now and results from this season applying.

Vote 4
Player Movements
1.   No change to current rules - 0 votes
2.   15 movements with trading of picks and on trading of players excluded - 9 votes
3.   20 movements with trading of picks and on trading counting as movement. 7 votes
This will be amended in rules and will apply to next trading periods,

Vote 5
Player Movements again
1.   Teams finishing with 4 or less wins be allowed an additional 2 movements which when nominated does not count for the team being traded with.
Yes - votes
No - 9 votes
So no change

Vote 6
Draw
Do we continue with a round Robin in the Draw?
Yes 4
No 12
So no Round Robin next year.

Thank You all for voting and remember to vote asap for the scoring.

The good thing about option 2 is that there is a stats centre on the Stadium website. No one would need to work out who scored what.

Stadium is gonna help a lot of defenders.

[Rids]

Stadium makes defenders super relevant which is great imo. Defenders in all other formats are very thin. Stadium has intercepted marks points which means "more relevant players = better trading"
