Maybe we should shift the age limits a bit for now while you investigate the possibilities of this working the way we want it to.

AA (30)
A (28)
R  (26)

I aggre no Limit for AAA and people can always trade a bunch of scrubbs for scrub picks

age limits make sense, i still don't get how option years are going to work.  I don't think i can vote until I see a proposed rule description.

I'm not sure if the 'minor league options' will work for a non-financial league but I'll do some testing when I get some time so this will be tabled indefinitely.

I am a fan of an age limit for the minors except for AAA.

What about...
Explorer League (AAA) - no age limit
Union League (AA) - 30
Confederation League (A) - 27
Liberty League (R) - 24

Currently is...
AAA - no limit
AA - no limit
A - 30
R - 26

That's a good way to do it, I forgot my own rules, we DON'T have an age limit in AAA (we have it in the levels below), but by having it in the levels below (and combined with roster limits) it means you have to think about the flow of talent and actually release players rather than hoard them. Which in turn at least helps distribute some players.

those new ages 24,27,30 make lots of sense.  I approve. 
Does the player get released at that point, or will the owner be notified to promote?

26 in A makes just as much sense to me.

I can see roster violations. I believe the game won't let you demote/promote a player if they are above the age limit.

I'm on board with this provided we pair it with enforced roster size limits. 30 players per level maybe?

I believe they get auto promoted if they are above or getting to be above ages, I use Minor Mangers doing promotion so it doesn't matter

They don't get auto promoted (only auto promotion is from Intl compelx to Rookie league). Once a player reaches an age older than the age limit he can continue to play at that level, BUT once he's promoted he can't be brought back down to that level where he is too old to play.

Just a heads up that the proposed age limits for AA, A, RL did go in effect for 2025. We won't mess with minor league option years.

Explorer League (AAA) - no age limit
Union League (AA) - 30
