New World Rules Proposal

To an amazing collection of owners, 

As mentioned in the world chat, I have been travelling and was able to get the world recruited but not in the best position to address the series of concerns raised. 

Historically, I have been a believer in the Hunter owner community and placed minimal guard rails on ownership believing everyone would operate in the best interest of the world. This has obviously been stretched beyond it's limit and some revised rules need to be implemented. 

I generally prefer a simple set of rules that allowed for discretion but the new set will be a little more black and white. 

I appreciate the owners that set me trade chats with suggestions. 

I propose, that the minimum win requirement be raised to 63W every season, effective S71. 

Effectively setting the floor to avoid 100L seasons. To reward owners who have not pressed the limit of the world win requirement, any owner who has not lost 100 games. They are allowed a 1 season exception down to the 57W (old world rules). 

I view this as fair to the owners who have not abused the existing rules in the past. While not rewarding owners who prompted the need for change and closing the door behind them. 

Also moving forward owners who do not meet the minimum win of 63W, will be put to vote by the league for return the next season.

Finally, for players being egregiously out of position for the purposes of losing. Ie: C in SS or 1b in CF. Or fielding a rotation full of single A pitches,  should it occur for 10 games or more. The team will not be allowed to participate in the following year's rule 5 draft and most set the players selected to 0. 

These issues I will need support in highlighting. 

I know the question will be what is egregious, it will come with discretion and be a know it if I see it situation. This would not apply to a team playing a DH in RF to get a major bat into the lineup for the purposes of attempting to win. This applies to actively making your team worse to suppress your win total. The commish would determine egregious, for reference what occurred last season was egregious.

This is currently a proposal but I am leaning heavily towards it's implementation effective immediately. If possible could owners post comments at the bottom of this post. To leave the world chat for current season issues.
