Here was the agenda for the 2003 Winter Meetings, held Saturday, January 11th at 7PM at Commissioner McKeen's house.
1. The maximum number of players waived on any given date will be increased to two. Team that waives first has option of waiving both before 2nd team is allowed to waive. This was voted down.
2. Dice rolling pertaining to the roller of the 20-sided die. Defense/Offense/Catching, etc... The current dice rolling situations were affirmed, no changes will be made.

If all games are not complete that affect playoff positions, the system of determining the playoff spots will be based upon winning percentage of all games played, unless trailing team is actually tied in games back or ahead in games back, in which case a tie would be declared.
