COMMISSIONER DECREE: 2022 COVID INJURY REPLACEMENT RULE

Commissioner Decree 2022-1: Effective immediately, players who are impacted by COVID for any reason can be replaced according to the Smokey Louis injury replacement rules. This applies to all pitchers and position players. This decree includes players who, though they may not test positive or be quarantined because of COVID protocols, have their games cancelled due to COVID. Any player replaced in a team's lineup would be restricted the following week and unavailable to be used in accordance with current SLFBL injury replacement rules.

DV DRAFT REFORM PROPOSAL

1. DV roster expands to 15 during season; teams can only protect a maximum of 12 players when submitting protected lists. [This is just like with the major league roster set at 25 & teams can only protect 15].

2. This would mean teams would be guaranteed a minimum of 3 rounds in the DV draft.

3. Only picks in Rounds 1-3 are allowed to be traded [this eliminates, for example, the circus that occurs if you trade a 4th rd DV pick then you have to subtract 4 from the number of players you could keep BS]

4. Those protecting less than 12 DV players would have extra late-round picks [e.g., the Celtics decide to protect 11 players instead of 12, they would have a 4th round pick. Even if they traded their 1st rd DV pick, they would still only have picks in rounds 2-4].

4. This amendment, if passed, would go into effect for the 2023 season.

Rationale: This idea seems much easier to comprehend than our current system. It will also encourage more owners to participate fully in the DV draft since all teams will actually have a draft pick (unless they trade all 3).
