As per 1.2.2

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).

2014-4a) IBL will use BF rest/fatigue rules for 2015 and beyond

Add new 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) 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 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.

2014-5) Clarify what defensive ratings can be used.

Reason: Next year the optional “lf/rf” rating will disappear. Instead, all outfielders will receive a defensive rating in lf and rf (equivalent to the “lf/rf” rating as seen on the current cards) even if they didn't actually play the position in MLB. The current Constitution allows players to be used at any defensive position that is listed on their card, but previously players only received ratings at positions they actually played. A “yes” vote here will explicitly allow the use of any defensive rating on the card. A “no” vote here explicitly preserves the status quo, players only being able to use ratings at positions they played in MLB.

Add the following to the beginning of section 3.6 (Playing out of Position):

A player may be used at any defensive position listed on their card.

If 2014-5 fails to pass, implement the following Commissioner's edit:

Change the following in section 3.6 (Playing out of Position):

A player may only play a position not shown on his card in a desperation move.

to:

A player may be used at any defensive position listed on their card at which they appeared in at least one game in the previous MLB season. Otherwise, a player must use an “out of position” defensive rating. A player may only play “out of position” in a desperation move.
