The biggest pros: 1) combined, we have the exact right amount of bot teams to complete the merger into a 24 league format right now. 2) The majority of their league rules and our league rules are the same or very similar.
The biggest hurdle: 1) Variable Development. This one is simple, we want to keep it, and they have to want to change to it. Now in most of their recent discussions, there appears to be a majority voice to go to VarDev, so it is likely less of a sticking point, but I would temper my excitement until they officially make their decision.
I will keep monitoring their progress on this decision and will update you as things develop.

Just want to update you all on some possible progress on the merger front. The [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/standings.jsp?leagueid=349]EDL[/url], is at present, the early front runner for a potential merger. Alecansky74 is their commisioner, and he has posted the question officially to that league.The biggest pros: 1) combined, we have the exact right amount of bot teams to complete the merger into a 24 league format right now. 2) The majority of their league rules and our league rules are the same or very similar.

So what happens to the players of the Dynastybot teams, as well as the players for those members that have to drop a team? And how would that affect future traded draft picks? Just curious questions that came to mind.

PRIVATELY posted on 2-20-2015 at 06:01 PM Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize such a discussion was going on. I'll take a look at this and see if it is feasible. It may not work with the number of rule changes being discussed, all it takes is a few people on each side to not be interested and suddenly you're merging into a 16 team league which does do any good I've been through dozens of these discussions and can try to steer things towards a productive outcome if it makes sense.
In a nutshell it usually takes two leagues with very similar rules, or one league that is really desperate.
Take a look at the FAQ from a recent merged league, and some of the threads I created. I think it will answer your questions. Actually, look at the threads for the Feller Gibson league which I will be merging next week.

The voting is still going on in the EDL so please post any questions so that I can take them to admin once things have progressed.

Now there is still a ways to go on getting the merger done, so I had asked these questions to admin well in advance. I believe players on bot teams disappear, but I have no idea what happens to traded draft picks. It also depends in which team the owners in both leagues keep.The voting is still going on in the EDL so please post any questions so that I can take them to admin once things have progressed.

GPD - 6
Injury system - 2
Retirement - 2
Winning % modifier - yes
Pause days after offseason - 1
I like EDL on this = GPD - has been mentioned on a thread already
I like EDL on this = Injury system - EDL is a 2 PML is a 3
I like system 2 on this = Retirement - mentioned by KillerG to move to system 2, which i think is more realistic
Would like, but not a merger killer in my mind = Winning % modifier - more interest from the EDL than PML, still could put to a vote
I like EDL on this (agree with larger field needing time to look through it) = Pause days after offseason - EDL is 1 PML is 0 *I have never thought about this rule, perhaps someone from the EDL could make a statement on this to the PML boards during voting?
Six games per day
Variable Development
Minors System 3
Injury System 2
Retirement System 2
NO win percentage modifier (not realistic, loosing teams can have GREAT coaching!)
One Pause day - gives you time to set your roster, and maybe make a trade!
Draft population date Aug. 15th. - gives time to work it!
Two Catcher rule of 70%.
Wolfwood83... if you want to draft a final set of rules both leagues can vote on the EDL is ready to yes or no to them.
Thanks
