That just doesn't happen. In regards to enforcing it, it's enforceable as much as any other basic rule that a league member abides by. If a league prevents a player from playing out of position then a manager knows not to play the guy out of position. If the guy breaks the rules the league might catch it or they might not. But you have to hope everyone is abiding by the rules of the league. The same with SP that must rest 3 or 4 days. When the manager creates his Manager file he inputs the pitchers that are starting for both road and home games with the proper amount of rest (taking into account the previous weeks start schedule). If you really want to monitor it you can check everyones CM and then match it to the boxscores but I wouldn't think that is neede Tom in the 20thCBRL created that days off schedule prior to Strat changing the CM so you could enter a rotation. Before you only has the Starter # 1, # 2 # 3, etc... By giving the complete rest to teams before a series you clear all starters to start but the rotation should have been set up so no one starts before their allotted day. The same concept as what most leagues used to do before we even had CM's to make as people wrote out instructions for their opponent. The rotation was still set up with the proper rest for the SP. Scott <<Scott, 1. We already limit total GS by pitchers, hence there is no "unrealistic usage" overall, and 2. I see no effective way to enforce it. There had been some recent discussion in the 20thCBRL about pitchers rest: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SOM20th/message/15987 ...and I do see what Rich is talking about as a problem (and the solution is very simple); I adopted the "road team gets rest only" approach simply because that was how Tom did it, therefore it must work. Would giving both teams 5 days offaddress what you are talking about here? Perhaps not address it precisely, but would it help? I see very little than can be done beyond that. Alan ----- Original Message ----- From: shcampbell@... To: SmileyList@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 2:35 AM Subject: [SmileyList] Rule Discussion Hi Guys I recently discovered that Smiley does not require starters to rest the normal # of days (either 3 or 4) between starts other then in the series you are playing. In other words, a starter can pitch in Game 4 of one series and Game 1 of the next series (in other words back to back days). To me this is very unrealistic and gives the manager playing the games an advantage by being able to match up his pitchers how he sees fit, with no bearing on when the pitcher is pitching the following series. I was a little surprised as the change in Strat several years ago so we could slot starters for each game in a series seemed to have given Strat players the ability to make sure pitchers rested the proper amount of games. In all other leagues I am in that use the scheduled games feature (4 leagues) pitchers must rest the appropriate amount of games as defined by the schedule (either 3 or 4 depending if an *). All these leagues reset the rest before each interval but teams must set the rotation with the proper rest given to each starter. I hope we adopt this as well to prevent unrealistic usage of Starting Pitchers. Scott
