Upcoming 2024 Season - Returning or not Returning

[Houston Astros (Rob)]

Below are some changes for the upcoming 2024 season (as shared previously).   


1. The league fee starting next year will be $50 per team. However, you will pay $75 for 2024 with $50 going toward the 2024 season and $25 going towards the 2025 season. Pay $50 in 2025 and each year thereafter. Owners that leave the league will not have any money refunded.



2. Details of the Expansion process for the 2024 season are on this link.  I'm confident that we will have enough new owners to fill the open teams: docs.google.com/document/d/1W5H_n65yG1DEq6jvb9QslVEIc_pN8g_TfUwmFxZs1OQ/edit?usp=share_link


3. The Rules Committee is discussing a lottery process to determine the draft order for the first 6 picks of the first round of the FYPD (similar to how it is done in MLB).  THIS WOULD BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE 2025 FYPD, not the one coming up in early 2024!

Please reply to this thread with "YES" if you are returning for next season or "NO" if we need to find a replacement.
