2015 Winter Meetings: Topic 1 - Increasing buy-in

Folks -

We only have one (1) topic to discuss this offseason. Upon voting and decision-making, we will move on to the keeper declaration stage of the offseason.


2015 WINTER MEETINGS TOPIC 1: INCREASING BUY-IN

This potential change was brought up by two different managers. Here is what one person's sales pitch for the change was:

Can we increase the league entry fee? I feel like we devote so much time and effort to fantasy baseball in particular that it is necessary.

A few years ago, we switched form $50 to $75, and last year, we increased the buy-in from $75 to $100. An exact increase in price was not requested in the topic proposal, so I'll just go with $125 to be in line with what we've done in the past. Here's what the prize breakdown would be with $125 per person (AKA an extra $300 in the pot):

Total pot is $1,525 (125 buy-in per team, plus 25 last-place fee)

Champion = $520
Runner-up = $300
3rd place = $125
Division winners = $125 each
Weekly skin winners = $15 (22 weeks)

Change needed: 75% of votes (9 people to say yes).

Please reply to me and only me with your vote.
