Day 2 Changes

  • After the union activities, the Franchise Budgetary Bonuses to GM, VP, and Saber have been locked up in negotiation. Since negotiations are expected to last much longer than the 3077 season, they no longer need to be budgeted for. Here  is a copy of the new budget sheet. GMs, VPs, and Sabers should try their best to led their franchise to victory in order to aid in the negotiations.
  • Knowledge and subsequent data mined by Sabers will be subsequently shared with the entire team in team chats and is considered for narrative purposes the legal property of the Franchise.
  • A second round of starting STAT knowledge will be sent around, this will serve as a rubber-banding effect for those franchises who ended up on the loosing end of the mass knowledge transfers going on in regards to the Saber union.  Due to the fact that the initial saber knowledge packets weren’t particularly diverse and the fact that many of the union sabers were actually inputting false information, those franchises left out of the frenzy or caught up in the mayhem are not very far behind by our estimates (luckily).  Franchises will learn officially learn 2-4 new pieces of information about the same set of stats, but for many franchises, this will simply confirm what they already know through trading saber info.
  • The Owners’ Cabal will not discuss issues relating to the Saber Union, the Spitfire Union, the Union of Captains, or the minor league in the first voting session. It will be at the discretion of the (Deputy) Commissioner to discuss these topics at the second voting session.
  • The Saber Union and Spitfire Union channels will be treated in a similar manner to the smack talk channel.
  • Minor tweak to coaches.  No coach’s secret strategy will be the same as their known strategy – those coaches whose secret and known strategies were the same have had their secret strategy changed. Be sure to check if this happened to your coach!
  • A small number of franchises did not get to utilize their STAT inquiry in round 1, they will be allowed to do so in round 2.
  • Sabers will be encouraged to utilize their bonus queries.  Consider the following examples:
  • What is X coach’s secret strategy?
  • Which of athletes X and Y have better total performance?
  • For athlete X, which of stats Y or Z is more impactful?
  • Which franchise’s know specific knowledge about the BB stat?
