The new rules survey has been completed by everyone (except Whammer, but his votes wouldn't have mattered, sorry Wham) and here are the results:

1.)  Draft night will be Sunday, October 26, 1997

Sunday, November 2, 1997 - 3
Sunday, October 26, 1997 - 4
either - 5

2.)  Player Moves - Rosters will be set once a week with no changes during the week

Choose one of the following:

a.  Unlimited movement -0

Players may be moved around on the roster at anytime.  However, their stats will go into effect immediately, not on Tuesday.

b.  Restricted weekly rosters - 10

Rosters will be set for the week every Tuesday at midnight.  No moves allowed during the week.

c.  Limited movement - 2

Players may be moved around on the roster at anytime, EXCEPT, when a player is called up, he most stay active for at least 10 days.

3.  Position Chart - A position chart will be created.

A position chart will be created (as agreed to by the league), where players can only play at the position specified on the chart.

yes - 12
no - 0

4.  Each team may deduct $10 off their player's salaries prior to the draft.

Each non-expansion squad will be allowed to deduct up to $10 off any of their player's salaries which are above $20 (not to go below $20 after deduction).  The only exception to the $20 minimum is if you do not have a player over $20 (or $30, since a $10 salary deduction would push him past $20 anyway), then you are exempt.  However, no player's salary can drop more than $5 if below $20.

yes - 8
no - 4

5.  There will be no contracts.

6.  The League is now called the Happy-Ass Hoops Association
