(Steven.Seydell@gmail.com) by Sunday, Aug. 2nd
midnight CDT)
Proposal 1: Starting in 2020, if MLB has a season with fewer than x number of games, the GCSL replay for the following year will be cancelled. The 11th smallest vote will determine the number of games that will be required. For example, if 4 managers vote for 20, 4 for 40, 2 for 60, 1 for 65 and the remaining vote for higher values, the winning value would be 65. Then in this scenario if the average MLB team plays less than 65 games, the subsequent GCSL season would be cancelled. The average MLB team number of games played will be calculated by adding all completed games for all MLB teams and then dividing by the number of MLB teams.
If a GCSL season is cancelled, the following will not occur:
Indicate the number
of games you would want MLB to play for the Greater Chicago Strat League to
have a season the following year.
