I'm recommending that we put in the rules a provision for replacing owners in the future. In subsequent years, if more than one owner chooses to leave the league and there are multiple teams to give to new owners. Instead of letting the new owners pick one of the existing teams, have a new owner draft. The new owners take turns choosing players from all of the available teams.
Inevitably you have some hopeless teams, mismanaged by bad owners. And sometimes you might have a very good team but the owner just decided not to reenlist. You easily replace the owner of the good team but can't find anyone to pay $100 to take over the crap teams. This way all the new owners get a fair shot at the good keepers that are available. We do this in my other league and it works great. Then when you are recruiting new owners you can show them all the players they get to select from instead of trying to sell them a team where the best keeper is a $20 Ubaldo Jiminez.

That's makes perfect sense. You have my vote.

i like the idea. is there anyway you can paste that section from your rules here so we can see it. the rules may help to clear a few things up that i have questions about, (ex: if it is two teams that are being replaced are all players that were on the roster drafted between the two teams or can the teams stop when they don't want anyone else or the minor league players are they done the same way). if you can post the rules about it i will start a poll.

My other league doesn't distinguish between minor leaguers or have types of contracts. Every player on your roster gets increased by $5 and you can keep 7 to 12 of them. For new owners, they have the new owner draft where they take turns selecting players from the available teams. They can select as many as they want to. Afterwards, they decide which players they want to keep. So they don't have to keep all the players they select, it is just their starting point. We also have a Rule 5 draft with a single round where each owner can select one player that was dropped by another team. This is so you can't be sure that the player will be available by auction - someone else might grab him if you don't keep him. We allow new owners to keep a minimum of 5 instead of 7 (in case there is slim pickings on the available teams). They can choose to keep 4 players, and existing teams can keep only 6, but then they would have to take one in the Rule 5.
I assume with minor leaguers, during each round of the draft they can choose a regular player, a minor leaguer, or whatever they value highest. Once all the players are divvied up, then they can decide who they want to keep.
By the way I recommend adding the Rule 5 draft that I mentioned above. It has been very successful for us.
Anyway I looked at our Constitution and realized we don't have the new owner draft in there as a formal rule (though we should). But we have been doing it for about 7 years (as needed) as a tradition.

really like the idea of a new owner draft. since it doesnt affect anyone and their draft preperations we will come up with a rule to institute in the constitution for a new owner draft and post a poll for it when we get started so everyone has a chance to vote.
