CP Tracker 2039
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:55 pm
Attached below is the 2039 CP Tracker, v1.
This tracker shows our accumulated point values - beginning with the end of the Winter Meetings 2038. At this time it does not show any carry over into the 2039 season - it simply shows season gains to date. You can see the areas we've been gaining points during the current CP Season (beginning September 30, 2023) through to this evening, January 2, 2024 (August 8, 2039, in-game - just past the trade deadline). The Total CP in this version of the tracker details CP earned up to this point - carry-over and bonus will be added in after the season. We have completed 18 of 27 sims - so we are at the 2/3 point of the season. Keep in mind that the max that can be earned in any season is 400, and the total max, with carry-over, is 600 - four teams currently sits at this threshold, but three more are near it enough that they are throwing CP away this offseason. You will also notice that teams have already been credited with their allotment of roster diligence points - and some have already lost points for excessive roster maneuvering on my part (Basically DFA issues). Keep clear of roster issues and that number won't drop.
Aside from the usual exporting, posting earnings, Draft Attendance (I do my best to capture everyone - even looking at the transcript) and All-Star voting, we still have available to earn in 2039 the following: voting for end of season Awards, naming your Minor League Players of the Year, minor league playoff points, fiscal solvency, as well as attending the WM - and WM trade points. At a minimum that's 84 easy points - counting the remaining sim exports.
Slack has been a great place to discuss League happenings (and if we could figure out a way of quantifying that activity, we would), but please don't forget the forums - it is our forums where our history lives; Slack is, unfortunately, ephemeral... We have some somewhat consistent posters (primarily in the Neat and Not So thread) and it would be nice to get more involved! Let's keep it up!! It is the forums and our Front Page that the public sees of our Amazing PEBAverse!! We are only as exciting as we make ourselves - and with more activity, the more interesting - and fun - things can be (and the better for recruitment)! Writing is down, in general (a common comment, right?), so try to do your part to keep our vibrant environment just that - vibrant. Even if you just write one blog posting per in-game month - that's 6 blogs and 42 points! We do have teams that would be exciting to hear from; it's depressing to look at the last post dates on the Blog page... Be it game result discussions, player 'bios', or stories that go outside the box as it examines your team and the PEBA (say, take place in a mental hospital or lunatic broadcasters on the AT) - all creativity is welcome! Who knows - you could end up writing a book!!
One area I feel like I've had to repeatedly address is the penalty phase of CP collection. DFA negligence had been on the rise and continues to be a frustration. Please be reminded that if there is a troublesome issue with a team that I have to deal with, I may dock that team a point. These just slow down a sim and, frankly, frustrate me and put me in the awkward position of (potentially) making undesirable (financial) decisions for that club. Now that all of our lower minors have begun, please keep an eye on your lower minor age distributions. We have a general agreement that this won't be pushed stringently, but that teams will work to keep violations at a minimum. When a team has five? That's not reasonable. If a team receives a warning, it is expected to comply. Multiple warnings will result in penalties and players removed from that level onto DFA or the higher level. One? Two? OK. Beyond that, the spirit of Fair Play begins to get fuzzy. And Ditto with the DL - please move guys when they are healthy - DL's are too much to constantly monitor, so the honor system is paramount - I'd think you'd want guys off the DL and playing, or is that just me?
So, keep up with your exports, keep those nasty DFAs clear, write a bit, and be involved!!
Should you notice anything odd, please let me know - errors happen
