Commissioner's Edits
As per 1.2.2
Edit 1
Edit 1: Change “LC” references in playoff schedule (2.2.8) to “CC”. Change “IL” references in playoff schedule to “LC”.
Reason: IBL has conferences, playoff schedule is using MLB-style terminology. This matches up the schedule abbreviations with the names of the series as described in the Constitution: 2.2.6 Conference Championship (CC), 2.2.7 League Championship (LC).
Ballot
2014-4a)
2014-4a) IBL will use BF rest/fatigue rules for 2015 and beyond
Add section 8.1.2
8.1.2 Pitcher Fatigue and Rest
The IBL uses the Advanced (Batters Faced) pitcher fatigue and rest rules (effective 2015 IBL season).
2014-4b)
2014-4b) If 2014-4a passes, for the 2015 season only allow road teams to use old rules in their MIS.
Reason: Makes the transition easier, since none of us have ever had to write MIS instructions for the new rules.
Add the following sentence to 8.1.2
For the 2015 season only, road teams being run by a Manager's Instruction Sheet may continue to use the traditional fatigue and rest rules.
