o Do you keep track of owner participation (lineup exports, etc)?
Yes. You really have to. Otherwise, you would never know when a person abandons a team. And abandon teams are just a horrible thing for the league.
o Do you require owners to respond if they are going to be returning for the next season?
No. I think it's assumed everyone is coming back. Otherwise, they will let you know. Perhaps that is just an assumption made on having a mature group of owners though.
o What do you consider to be an unacceptable percentage of lineup exports (not including opening day which should be 100% participation IMO)?
There is no exact percentage. If you run three sims a week and an owner missed every Sunday sim for some reason, but another owner misses four sims in a row, you have different situations, but the same number of exports missed. (Assuming 12 sims make up one season.) You are more likely to remove the latter owner, who has left his team abandoned for a decent stretch, then the owner who misses sims on a certain day, since the team is more likely to be actively run.
o Do you consider a lack of lineup export by an owner to be a sign of non-participation of a sign that no changes were needed?
It's a sign of non-participation. It takes about 30 seconds to send a no changes E-Mail, which is all you need to do. It shows you are paying attention and care. Whereas not sending a lineup or an E-Mail makes it look like you are out of touch. But we are very clear about how we interpret that.
o Do you ask or require owners to submit lineups even if they have no changes to make?
Or a no changes E-Mail. This way we know everyone is participating and we don't have six teams that are losing 110 games because no one is minding the store.
