I feel like if someone does not participate in arbitration they should be booted out of the league, especially when its a $50 league. Am I in the minority here? And if not, how long do you wait before you kick them out for not allocating any arb dollars?
This question comes up annually and because the impact of not participating in arbitration can have such a severe impact on the economics of your league, I think itās one of those cut and dry situations where it makes sense to boot someone if they donāt participate (especially since the process is 30 days long). I think as a commissioner it would be in your best interest to send out several notifications to your league in the early weeks reminding them of the importance of participating. If you see an owner hasnāt allocated by the beginning of the last week, Iād send out a more direct notification/warning. Some owners wait until the very end by design, but as long as they indicate to you early on that that is their strategy, thereās shouldnāt be an issue.
Failing to participate in arbitration is an almost foolproof indicator that that team will be checked out of the next season.
