Rolling money. Dynasty. Players roll over. Money is like another player. Period.
My vote would be money is all equal, not tradeable and not able to carry over from year to year.

The option is now for an owner to choose BB over the WW process that go the most votes. If they do not, and it ends 7-5 then nothing passes and it remains the old system.
We are making everything far too complicated with rolling money, revotes etc...
My issue is with the last sentence. One or both of these could pass if they were put up against the old system. But because these are both better solutions than the current way it could end up hurting each of there cases...and end up just hurting the league so to speak. At very least if one of these two don't get 8 votes than whichever does get more should be put up against the current system...

100% agree. Just treat it like a player. The worst teams get better waiver priority, why not give them better money in a BB system?
Guys, I just don't have the time to do this. I spent countless hours tracking trades that were not done properly on Flea and I have zero interest in keeping track of traded money. Just my opinion.

I agree with this. Only 11 voted so the 12th person could push blind bid over the edge. Don't know who didn't vote except Instinctive said he wasn't going to vote until he knows which type of BB we were doing.
The leagues trades are already hard enough to track. Adding all this stuff just for picking up a player is way over the top. I think the vote should be simple. Keep it the way it is now or blind bid. With 4 options it's going to be tough to hit 8 and it still hit 7. If you make it 2 options then BB wins and we are done with this conversation.
