The league's voters have spoken. The seemingly annual proposal to shift back to a balanced schedule failed, though it did garner a majority of votes, with 10 managers saying yes and eight saying no. As rule proposals must gain 2/3 majority of votes, it was two shy off approval. There is a definite split in the league between the "more head-to-head games" camp and the "fairer schedule" group. I can understand and emphasize with both sides.
The second proposal, which suggested allowing teams to cut below 35 picks and fill out their roster by drafting beyond the 7th round, passed in a landslide, with 15 yes votes and three no votes. This will take effect for the 2013 draft. All teams are allowed to cut below 35 if they like. You must declare your cuts on January 1, just like teams that cut to the traditional 35-man limit. As stated in the rule proposal, picks in the 8th round and later cannot be traded.
The league constitution will be updated on the website shortly.
