SLOP All-Star Game Poll (Home Field)

Young Drachma · 08-17-2012, 02:24 PM

So I've decided that the winners of the NL and AL starting with this year's winners, that the GMs of those teams will get to pick the respective all-star teams for their leagues. You can defer or even pick one or two other GMs to be on your "coaching staff" from your league.

But the home-field advantage question is one where I'm sort of indifferent. On one hand, it'd be fun for trash/talk bragging rights since 108 wins in one league doesn't necessarily mean 108 in the other. On the flip side, some teams might not want to give that up.

I'll do a vote now then.

I'm for letting records decide who has home field. Whether its overall or head to head, I'm not a fan of letting one game decide it especially if the teams that are playing in the series have little or nothing to do with the outcome of the all star game.

Of course, like with anything else, I'm okay with what ever the masses decide.

I say yes. Why not?
Pretty indifferent on it, but if i have to choose i choose yes.

That way a team doesnt get home field advantage because there are a few rebuilding teams in their division padding the win stats.

A one game showdown is only one step up from a coin toss, but because we can pick the team we can at least have a small say in the outcome. Plus i think it can be fun to select the teams.

Question? Will fatique have an effect?

Exhibition games don't affect player fatigue, so no worries there.

I don't know who George is (I should invite him to SLOP?) but his "no" vote obviously won't count since he's not a member of the league. It's the only reason I did a public poll, was because I wanted to make sure if non-SLOP people were voting.

Maybe he's the computer AI?
