Hi everyone,

I’m the commissioner of L.E.G. We’ve never had a minimum win requirement, but I’ve had a couple of owners request that we consider implementing one for next season.

For those of you who have had one, what has worked the best for you? A single season requirement, something like 54 wins? A two-season requirement of something like 120 wins? Something else?

I’ve played under a few different requirements but don’t have especially strong feelings about which one is best, but if we’re going to do this, I’d like to get it right.

Thanks.

The MikeT23 version is: 55/125/195/280. All owners must win 55 in any ML season, 125 in two consecutive seasons, 195 in three consecutive seasons and 280 in four consecutive seasons. Missing requires leaving for at least one season and cannot reclaim former franchise.

It's been in place in worlds like Moonlight Graham and Cooperstown for 60+ seasons. It doesn't eliminate all tanking but it does knock people out that are in a race to the bottom, which impacts drafts as well as available IFA cash.

I would not recommend allowing mulligans. Creates a slippery slope that kills its value. As MikeT would say: "a blind, one-nut monkey slamming his hands on a keyboard can win 55. Then, you should learn something and be able to win 70 the next season."
