Survey Results

The results are in...

A) Shall the league limit draft pick trading in an effort to make the league more competitive?

1. No. Keep it the way it is. Open trading all year long (minus the post-deadline to season end period). 5 votes (6, eventually)
   
2. Yes. Prohibit trading draft picks from Rounds 7-13 during the season. Open trading in the offseason. 3 votes (they were asked to revote after this option fell short; 2 chose option three, 1 chose option one)
   
3. Yes. Prohibit trading draft picks from Rounds 7-13 during the season, with the exception of the two weeks prior to the trade deadline. During this period, teams are allowed to trade up to two of their picks in Rounds 7-13. Open trading in the offseason. 6 votes (ultimately, it received 8 votes). 
4. Yes. Teams are limited to three trades that involve draft picks (no limit on which rounds) for the entire season. 0 votes 

B) Shall the league adjust the trade deadline? (Currently, the trade deadline is the end of Week 19. The regular season is 21 weeks long).

1. Yes, one week earlier. 4 votes
   
2. No, keep it the same. 8 votes 
   
3. Yes, one week later. 2 votes 

C) Shall the league increase the number of playoff teams from six to eight?

1. Yes. It will keep people more involved. Top seeds already win money, they don’t deserve another advantage. 8 votes
   
2. No. More than half the league shouldn’t make the playoffs and top seeds deserve bye weeks. 6 votes

1. No, $100. 9 votes
   
2. Yes, $120. 3 votes

1. Yes. 1 vote
   
2. No. 6 votes 
   
3. Yes, but only if we expand to eight playoff teams. Otherwise, no. 7 votes (combined with option 1 to pass) 

F) Recognizing the work involved with such an awesome league, shall the league agree to pay half of the entry fees for its co-commissioners? (This would not change the fee structure of last year, only split Adam’s free entry between the two)

1. No. I don’t need the additional commentary/blog features. 2 votes 
   
2. Yes. I appreciate their efforts. And, given their track record, they won’t win it all anyway. 12 votes
