Rulebook is too vague.... Inquiring minds want to know.. View AttachmentArbitration ?? So walk me through the arbitration process. X is up for arbitration. All teams place bids on player within arbitration range or just place a value on the contract within the range ?? If the later, then X'x existing team pays the new value of X's contract or he goes into the free agent pool ?? If the former, won't all opposing teams give X's contract maximum value ?? Thanks for the help. The arbitration process isn't as complicated as that. I've attached an example of how it worked in the previous league I ran. Every offseason, an arbitration packet would be sent that shows all of the arbitration-eligible players for the coming season. The minimum figure that can be proposed is based on the player's salary the previous year in our league because a player can't earn less in arbitration. The maximum figure that can be proposed is based on the arbitration stage the player is entering. All GMs would be encouraged to participate in the process by proposing a salary for each arbitration-eligible player. The more GMs who participate, the more data points that we have for those arbitration figures. Regardless of whether how many GMs participate by proposing figures, the highest and lowest proposed figures for each player will be removed and the average of the remaining proposed figures will be used to determine the player's salary. There will be a deadline after those arbitration salaries are proposed where a team can release the player without any financial penalty. Other teams would be able to claim those released players and assume their contract--the new arbitration salary and whatever future control still remains. If a player is released and unclaimed (for example, if no one liked the player at that contract), then they can be added to the free agency pool for that offseason with other available players that teams can bid on. Does that make sense?

Anyone who has taken part of the process before have any thoughts? It's definitely not a perfect system, but it's a way to try to develop an appropriate market value. Removing the highest and lowest bids and then averaging the rest also protects against manipulation by preventing one person from radically influencing salaries. Being transparent and posting who proposed what figures would be good too.

What keeps the whole league from picking the maximum amount for every player ??

Not being petty and realizing as much as we want all want to win this is about fun.

I've never had that happen once in 15+ years of that type of system. In all of my years doing it, there was only one single person who tried to game the system and suppress figures by submitting the minimum for every player. There was a league vote and those submitted figures were thrown out of the process. That person was a habitual line-stepper and also had to be removed from the league. If you click the Arbitration Packet file I uploaded, you can see how it worked in previous years. Again, not perfect because everyone has their own perception of value, but I haven't heard any other methods or suggestions. I've seen a lot of different methods from people for submitting their own figures, such as creating a WAR/$ formula. Arbitration Packet.xls (673.5 KB) |
