All GM's can vote. One team one vote rule.
Voting ends Aug 8, 12:01am est

Proposal 2:
Hiring and Firing of GM's


1) GM's could get fired for under-performing , a winless season or for league conduct violations.
2) Once fired they would go to the back of the waiting list.
3) No more than 3 GM's can be fired in a given season. And at least one if there is someone on the waiting list.
4) New GM's can't be fired in their first 3 seasons unless they have 2 winless seasons in that time frame.


There are several ways to determine when a GM can be fired.
.
A) If they have a winless season.
B) If they have 3 consecutive seasons with less than 5 wins
C) If they have 4 consecutive seasons with less than 7 wins
D) If they have 5 consecutive seasons under .500
E) If they have 6 consecutive seasons not making the playoffs
F) If a GM takes over a playoff team and miss the playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons.
G) 3 League Conduct violations.
H) No GM can be fired in their first 3 seasons with exception of rule 4.
I) If no one is on the waiting list each GM will retain their tenure with exception of rule G.
J) Once a GM is fired from their team they may not be hired by that same team for 3 seasons. They may be hired by another team at any time, determined by the waiting list.

Yes: 9

No: 5

No vote from Detroit.

Its hard enough to get 30 people active and interested in a league, I think adding strict performance rules only hampers that. If we had a waiting list 10 deep all the time, then maybe, I guess it would be ok. I can see people being scared off from the league if their time and effort building a team could be wasted if their grand scheme for success ends of sucking and they get the boot. Ive never seen these rules work in FOF and I don't see it happening here.

Yes. - It may need reevaluated, but in theory it looks good.

I agree with chinaski. Just need to get a list of people before we fire someone. Just my thought.
