GM’s Moving Teams:

----------
Draft Pick Trading:
1) Teams will be restricted from trading draft picks in consecutive seasons. This applies to all 30 rounds of the FIrst Year Player Draft. Example: If Team X trades their 1st round pick in the upcoming draft, they will not be allowed to deal their 1st round pick in the following season.
2) Compensation Picks (Sandwich Round Picks) will not be allowed to be traded.
Re-wording of current rules in place:
1. Participation
Individual GM’s are the lifeblood of the league and the very reason for its existence. GM’s are encouraged to make suggestions and voice concerns. Summit Baseball League welcomes new ideas and fresh perspectives to make the league more enjoyable for everyone. GM’ will:
a. Own the copy of the OOTP version currently adopted by SBL
b. Stay active on the league forum
c. Export for each SIM or leave a message in the forum notifying the league of their planned absence
d. Promptly respond to communication by others
e. Feel free to make suggestions and voice concerns
2. Dismissal
The Commissioner may at his discretion, reprimand, place on probation, fine, or dismiss any owner who becomes detrimental to the good of the League. The infractions that will draw the attention of the commissioner include, but are not limited to:
a. No longer actively exporting
b. No longer in communication with the commissioner
c. Actions between GM’s that are detrimental to the league
3. Procedure for Missing (Consecutive) Exports
When a GM is going to be absent for any period of time (vacation, travel, etc.), they are asked to please post a message in the appropriate forum thread.
4. Expected Levels of Professionalism
Each GM is expected to behave in a civil manner. Derogatory remarks, or any kind, toward another GM or the Commissioner will not be tolerated. While “Trash Talk” is encouraged, the expectation is that it’s done in a fun manner.
5. Procedures for League Issues
If an issue arises between two GM’s, that cannot be solved privately, please inform the Commissioner’s Office. They will mediate any and all disputes. Do NOT fan the flames in the forum.
6. Disciplinary Action
When appropriate warnings by the Commissioner have been exhausted, offending GM’s can expect one or more of the following actions:
a. Fines (in-game)
b. Fan Interest Point Deductions
c. Outright dismissal from the league
