Thanks to all who took the time to comment on the one-time rule adjustments for the 2020 ARBA Season.  Based on your feedback, here is what we will be implementing:

(1)  No structural changes to the ARBA Season.  We'll play 162 games, the usual split of games among teams, no 7-inning doubleheaders, same ARBA playoff structure, no 16-team playoffs, etc. 

(2) All PA and IP will be multiplied by 3.25.  T

(3) A player needs a minimum of 20 actual 2020 MLB PA or 10 actual 2020 MLB IP to get a card.

(4) No pitcher can start more than 35 games.

(5) Players who opted out of the season and are on long-term contracts will be paid $40 and have their contract advanced a year.

(6) Carded rosters stay at 32 until the end of the season (as before) but teams will be allowed to have up to 35 carded players.  Each team can decide which 32 of their 35 players are carded each series.  The "little a" rule would be dropped for this season.

(7) Roster cap of 60 is expanded to 65 for this year only.

(8) A Contracts will be calculated as normal, with a 2.7 multiplier (162/60) applied to 2020 MLB stats for this purpose.

(9) We will have a League Vote on whether to increase the amount given to teams as base salary to account for additional cards for the roster for this year.  More on that in my exciting next post!

(10)  Adoption of the "runner on second to start extra innings" and 3-batter-minimum will be considered when Strat announces what they're doing.  I note that our default rule is to follow all Strat defaults unless we specifically reject them.  If people want at that time, we can have a special vote on whether or not to adopt those rules now.
