We have one opening in our league. The owner being replaced has missed the final deadline to pay his fees (4/15), so we have to find a new owner. I really hate replacing this owner because he's been in the league from it's inception. I've tried multiple times to reach him (hope he's ok), but we have to find a new owner before our league draft May 1st. His team has a lot of potential. This is the 5th year for Fantasy Legends II dynasty league.
Below are the scoring rules and league constitution. Basically this is a league that starts qb, 2rb, 2wr, te, 1 flex (rb, wr, te). We award 0.5 ppr for WR and TE only. See scoring details below for the rest of the scoring rules. I have also posted the team roster and his draft picks.
I'm looking for an active owner that must check into the site at least once a week during the off-season and even more during the season. The owner should be interested in the team for the long haul, not just one or two years and out. Owners must respond to trade offers within a reasonable time, and must participate in all league business, such as, but not limited to, voting on league referendums.
Since our league draft starts May 1st (see draft rules below for more details), I'm looking for an owner ASAP. FYI, These leagues fill up quickly. After someone is chosen, payment is required before taking over this team. I prefer PayPal since we are so close to our draft. No one can draft unless league fees are paid. The amount by PayPal is $113.60 (includes paypal fees), or $110 by mail. After a candidate is chosen I will email you with further details about payment.

Fantasy Legends II Constitution
Starting in 2008 we will raise the dues to $110 to cover league fees ($100 entry fee + hosting site fee) and award anything left over to the team that didn't make the playoffs, but had the most points. This protects against MFL raising the fees by a few dollars when I purchase the new site each year, but have already collected the hosting site fees.
Also starting in 2008, the playoff format will change from two division winners + the top 2 wildcard teams from each division, to the two division winners + the top 4 wildcard teams regardless of division.
PREAMBLE
I. Teams and Members
A. The league will be made up of two divisions with 6 teams in each division. The number of rounds for the draft will be 4 rounds, with the last 2 having the option of FA's or rookies. All Owners will participate in a 13 game regular season each year with a playoff involving six (6) teams. Two division winners seeded #1 and #2 and 4 wildcard teams seeded #3 thru #6. The Championship game is played in week 16. (See playoffs section for more details on the playoff format).
C, The league of 12 Owners will hold a 4 round draft, where the first 2 rounds are for rookies only, and the last 2 rounds allow drafting of free agents or rookies.. This draft will be held at the league web site. This draft will be held in the first week of May and there will be a 24 hr time limit for each pick.. The rookie draft will only have the pool of players eligible for the NFL draft
D. One or more league members own and control a team. Each team has one vote in voting processes.
E. Expansion membership is decided by nominations and voting from the current membership. A majority vote of the membership (7) is required to approve any expansion team to enter the league.
F. Should an Owner leave the league for any reason, the team is NOT automatically inherited by the league. Instead, the Commissioner will immediately contact a capable Owner brought forward to them by a present Owner in the league and determine if they wish to take the membership. The league will have a confirmation vote on the new Owner¡¦s membership. A simple majority will confirm the new Owner. In the event a new owner cannot be found, the Commissioner will submit the best lineup possible for that team until a new owner can be found.. No pickups/drops/trades will be allowed for that team until a new owner is found.
II. Player Drafts
A. Owners will build their team through a 4 round draft, where the first 2 rounds must be rookies and the last 2 can be FA players or rookies. The draft will be NFL Style (worst to first). The rookie draft will only have the pool of players eligible for the NFL draft. If a player is eligible for the NFL Draft but isn't in the hosting site player database, then a proxy pick can be made, where you select a player as a placeholder until the "real" player is added to the player database.
C. Trading of Draft Picks
1. You can trade Draft picks 1 year into the future at no charge.
2. You cannot trade future draft picks more than 1 draft in the future.
3. The current year's draft counts as one of the drafts in the future if the trade takes place before the current year's draft.
4. A combination of players / and current year draft picks or future draft picks 1 draft year in the future, which includes the current year's draft if it hasn't already been completed.
5. Draft picks can not be traded for money or any other considerations
.
6 .We will use a 12 hour window during the draft to protest a trade once a trade is made. The clock doesn't stop because of a trade, but only if there is a protest. Once a protest is made, the draft stops and the league has another 12 hour window to complete the vote. If a veto is made (see Trading Section on veto), anyone who drafted before or after the persons involved in the trade that was vetoed, is not affected by the veto. In other words, whoever they drafted is theirs.
7. One week before the upcomming draft you will be able to trade draft picks one year into the future.. Example, if the current draft is 2008, you will be able to trade 2009 picks one week before the 2008 draft.
Also, within 48 hours of the draft, you have up untiil the draft to protest any trades.
D. Once a draft selection has been posted it cannot be rescinded.
E. The rookie draft is to be held in May. The order of the draft will be determined by the results of the previous year, from worst to first for every round. The playoffs are included in the determination of the final team standings. The draft will not use a serpentine draft style, but will use the NFL style draft. The time limit to make a pick will be 24 hours.
F. Expansion draft guidelines:
1. Each current Owner will have to leave three of his players unprotected for the expansion draft. These three players can be at any position.
2. The expansion Owner will have the opportunity of taking one unprotected player from each current team to be on his roster. Each current Owner will only lose one player in the draft.
3. The rest of the players the expansion Owner will select from will come from the free agent pool.
4. The expansion Owner must select at least 9 players and not take more than 24 (in-season) and 26 (off-season). He can take as many as he chooses as long as he stays between those two numbers.
G. Passing / Skipping on Draft Picks / expiration of the 24 hour time limit for the Rookie Draft/ Illegal Roster during the draft:
1. If you get to the point where you don't want anymore picks, please post that you are finished with the draft. If the clock expires and your pick is skipped, you can make the pick you missed later in the draft (providing that player hasn't been selected), but if you don't notify the league you want your next pick before it comes up, that pick will be skipped also.
2. If the 24 hour time limit to make a pick has expired, the next team is on the clock. However, you can still make your pick anytime (same as the NFL does it). You may also trade that pick anytime during the draft. Once the last pick has been made you cannot trade or make a pick for any previous missed picks.
3. During the draft your roster must NOT be illegal at anytime. You cannot exceed the 24 man off-season roster limit at anytime,. If your pick makes your roster illegal, you must drop a player to make it legal.
III. Rosters
A. The minimum number of players on a roster is 9. The maximum number is 24 in season and 26 off-season.. You must cut your roster to 24 48 hrs before the start of the first game of the season. If you fail to reduce your roster by that time, the commissioner has the right to drop the last 2 players added to that roster.
B. Position eligibility. The final say on all roster eligibility will be what position the player is listed in hosting site.
C. Minimum's and maximum's:
Minimum: of 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR, RB, TE), 1 K, and 1 DEF.
Maximums: None
D. The off-season roster limit will is expanded to 26, but must be reduced back to 24 48 hrs before the start of the first game of the season. If you fail to reduce your roster by that time, the commissioner has the right to drop the last 2 players added to that roster.
IV. Starting lineups
A. All starting lineups will consist of the following: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 Flex (WR,RB,TE), 1 kicker, and 1 defensive team.
B. : Players Are Locked At Kickoff Of Their Game. Each player can be started/benched just prior to the start of his NFL game.
V. Scoring
Any scoring dispute must be made after the current week¡¦s games, and before the next week¡¦s first game. Changes will only be made if the hosting site allows it. The hosting site decisions on scoring is final unless a mistake has been made in the rules setups, which means that the hosting site setups contradict what is stated in the constitution. If that is the case, then the commissioner will use the constitution to change the hosting site setup if possible. It is the responsibility of each owner to read the constitution and compare it with the hosting site and make any discrepancies known to the league.

VI. Tiebreakers
A. Order of Tiebreakers
If desired, you may use up to four tie-breaking schemes for your league standings. Order the tiebreakers, with "1" being the first tie-breaker used. If one or more tie-breakers are not desired, leave the field blank.
1.) Total Points Scored
2.) Head-To-Head Record
3.) Divisional Record
4.) Power Rank
B. Playoff Tiebreaker
Designate Bench Player to break ties. If the points scored for the designated bench players still has the game tied, use Irony web site to roll the dice to determine a winner.
VII. Playoffs
A. Our regular season will end after NFL week 13. Playoffs will include 6 teams comprising of 2 division winners (seeded #1 and #2) and the next top 4 teams are wildcards seeded #3 thru #6. The "lowest" seed refers to the #6 seed and the "highest" seed refers to the #1 seed. The teams will be seeded on their 1) W-L record, 2) Total Points Scored, 3) Head-to-Head results, 4) Divisional Record, 5) Power Rank. The playoffs will begin in week 14 of the NFL season with the #3 seed playing the #6 seed and the #4 seed playing the #5 seed. The top two seeded teams (division winners) get a first round bye. In week 15 the #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seeded team and the #2 seed will play the highest remaining seeded team. The winners in week 15 will play the Super Bowl in week 16.
VIII. Transactions
A. Trading:
Notes:
1). At the conclusion of trading, roster must not exceed 24 players (in-season) or 26 players (off-season).
2). Trades must be fair. "Herschel Walker" trades are fair (Walker for several draft picks of highly touted rookies). Dumping players and collusion is not.
3) it takes 75% to veto trades instead of league majority (6 when there are 2 teams involved in a trade, and 5 when there are 3). If there are only 2 teams involved, that equates to 7.5, so we round up to 8. We should always round up when it's .5 or greater and round down when < .5. If there are 3 teams, then 75% of 9 is 8.25, so that would be 8 votes required. As you know, teams involved in the trade cannot vote. This lessens the likely hood that trades are vetoed because of league prejudice, meaning, that guy is ahead of me in the standings, so I will veto it. All members must vote unless their vote wouldn't affect the outcome. In other words, 75% has already been reached without their vote. In the event a vote is needed from someone who is out of town or unavailable to vote, the traded players may reside on their new team until a majority vote is reached. All veto votes are to be on the message board instead of by poll and that each owner who voted to veto a trade must post their reason why they vetoed a trade, or their vote is changed to a no.
4) None of the owners involved in the trade will have a vote
5) All league owners not involved in the trade will have 1 vote
6) If the vote ends in a tie, the trade stands
7) Owners have 48 hours from the time of the trade to protest a trade, unless the trade involves draft picks and the draft is in progress. If that is the case, see II Player Draft.
8). Trades can include draft picks for up to 1 draft year in the future and/or players. The current year's draft is considered a future draft pick if the draft hasn't taken place, with the one exception exlained in #9.
9). One week before the upcomming draft you will be able to trade draft picks one year into the future.. Example, if the current draft is 2008, you will be able to trade 2009 picks one week before the 2008 draft.
The Final trading deadline is on the Friday after the completion of NFL Week #11 at 6:00pm ET.
B. FA Pickups/drops:
Rule change for 2007 - We will be allowing placeholders for unlisted players for both the draft and free agent pickups.
1. Your roster may not exceed 24 players (in-season) or 26 players (off-season) after you make a free agent acquisition.
2. In-Season, we will use a Waiver Wire, then Free For All setting at the hosting site. The Waiver wire worst-to-first starts after week 1 with the free-for-all ending just before the first game of the season. You cannot submit waiver request before 7:00 a.m Tuesdays and must submit your waiver request by Wed 11:59 P.M. The waivers will process at approximately midnight on Thursday. . After that, it will be first-come-first-serve until the start of the first game for that week. .
3.There is no deadline for picking up free agents.
4 If a. person drops a player, but realizes he makes a mistake and contacts me or sends a league email within 30 min of his mistake, I will correct the error..
IX. Injured Reserve
None.
X. Player Retention
Since this is a dynasty league, every player on your team will be kept from year-to-year.
Since this is a dynasty league, every player on your team will be kept from year-to-year.
XI Schedule
Each team still plays teams within their division twice. Games played outside the division is based upon the standings of the previous year. Weaker teams get an easier 3 game schedule, better teams get a harder 3 game schedule.
1) First place teams play teams 1, 2, and 4 from the other division.
2) Second place teams play teams 1, 3, and 5
3) Third place teams play teams 2, 3, and 6
4) Fourth place teams play teams 1, 4, and 5
5) Fifth place teams play teams 2, 4, and 6
6) Sixth place teams play teams 3, 5, and 6
XII Scramble Divisions each year
The odd number drafting team will be the Eastern Division and the even number drafting team will be the Western Division.
XIII. Commissioner
League stability is our primary goal. This framework will govern the league:
A. Commissioner. Our goal is to have a very strong, yet fair Commissioner. The Commissioner is sworn to act at all times in the Best Interests of the League and is vested with the following powers:
1. Interpret the Constitution
2. Settle all position eligibility questions.
3. Approve team names.
4. Preside over draft and settle draft disputes.
5. Maintain the integrity of the league and its Owners by enforcing Article XII, "Expected Owner Conduct".
XIV. Expected Owner Conduct
Owners will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disparage the league nor its Owners in any way, shape, or form. While bragging is always a part of some Owner's personality and is to be expected, inflammatory or taunting acts will not be tolerated. The Commissioner will have total authority in drawing the line between bragging and taunting.
XV. League Disputes and Amendments to the Constitution.
A. Owners can call for a league vote anytime for all disputes except to override what the Commissioner is empowered to decide. (See XI Commissioner).
1. Owner notifies the Commissioner he is appealing the decision.
2. Commissioner notifies the league.
B. Amendments to the Constitution. Amendments to the Constitution are allowed in the off season. Thus, they can NEVER be made during a season, unless the integrity of league requires such a change. By definition, the season begins once the Commissioner accepts the first selection of the annual player draft. Amendments to the Constitution will follow this path:
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to change the Constitution except when the integrity of the league is at stake. An abstension is equivalent to a "no" vote.
2. If approved, the amendment becomes a permanent article of the Constitution and assumes equal status with all other articles.
C. Owner warnings: If an Owner is considered by the Commissioner to be conducting himself in a manner not in the best interest of the league.
1. The Commissioner issues a 1st warning.
2. Second occurrence, the Commissioner will call a league vote (minus the Owner in question), to remove that Owner from the league.
D. Removing an Owner. This is an extremely serious consideration, one that the league will seek to avoid at all costs. If it arises, this path will be followed:
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to remove an Owner except for the following reasons:
a) League Fees are not current after 2 weeks of receiving a warning from the Commissioner, after the league due date.
b) Obvious proof that an Owner is 'throwing' games to either assist / harm another owner or to improve one's draft position.
c) Proof of collusion or cheating in any manner.
2. The league will assume control of the team until a replacement can be found. No transactions will be permitted by this team until a replacement is found.
E. Removing a Commissioner. This also is an extremely serious situation. If it arises, this path will be followed.
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to remove the Commissioner.
2. A new Commissioner will be appointed by a majority vote
XVI. Fees
A. All Owners must have all fees paid current by April 1st.
1. If fees aren't paid by the league due date, a warning will be issued. After 2 weeks of this warning, the Owner will be replaced.
XVII. Prize Money
Make the playoffs = $100 (6 x 100 = 600)
Semi Finals Winners - $100 (2 x 100 = 200)
Super Bowl Champs - $300 (1 x 300 = 300)
Points Champ = $100 (1 x 100 = 100)
600 + 200 + 300 + 100 = 1200
Below are the scoring rules and league constitution. Basically this is a league that starts qb, 2rb, 2wr, te, 1 flex (rb, wr, te). We award 0.5 ppr for WR and TE only. See scoring details below for the rest of the scoring rules. I have also posted the team roster and his draft picks.
I'm looking for an active owner that must check into the site at least once a week during the off-season and even more during the season. The owner should be interested in the team for the long haul, not just one or two years and out. Owners must respond to trade offers within a reasonable time, and must participate in all league business, such as, but not limited to, voting on league referendums.
Since our league draft starts May 1st (see draft rules below for more details), I'm looking for an owner ASAP. FYI, These leagues fill up quickly. After someone is chosen, payment is required before taking over this team. I prefer PayPal since we are so close to our draft. No one can draft unless league fees are paid. The amount by PayPal is $113.60 (includes paypal fees), or $110 by mail. After a candidate is chosen I will email you with further details about payment.
If interested, email JohnnyU at cac5897@yahoo.com

Fantasy Legends II Constitution
Starting in 2008 we will raise the dues to $110 to cover league fees ($100 entry fee + hosting site fee) and award anything left over to the team that didn't make the playoffs, but had the most points. This protects against MFL raising the fees by a few dollars when I purchase the new site each year, but have already collected the hosting site fees.
Also starting in 2008, the playoff format will change from two division winners + the top 2 wildcard teams from each division, to the two division winners + the top 4 wildcard teams regardless of division.

A. The league will be made up of two divisions with 6 teams in each division. The number of rounds for the draft will be 4 rounds, with the last 2 having the option of FA's or rookies. All Owners will participate in a 13 game regular season each year with a playoff involving six (6) teams. Two division winners seeded #1 and #2 and 4 wildcard teams seeded #3 thru #6. The Championship game is played in week 16. (See playoffs section for more details on the playoff format).
C, The league of 12 Owners will hold a 4 round draft, where the first 2 rounds are for rookies only, and the last 2 rounds allow drafting of free agents or rookies.. This draft will be held at the league web site. This draft will be held in the first week of May and there will be a 24 hr time limit for each pick.. The rookie draft will only have the pool of players eligible for the NFL draft
D. One or more league members own and control a team. Each team has one vote in voting processes.
E. Expansion membership is decided by nominations and voting from the current membership. A majority vote of the membership (7) is required to approve any expansion team to enter the league.
F. Should an Owner leave the league for any reason, the team is NOT automatically inherited by the league. Instead, the Commissioner will immediately contact a capable Owner brought forward to them by a present Owner in the league and determine if they wish to take the membership. The league will have a confirmation vote on the new Owner¡¦s membership. A simple majority will confirm the new Owner. In the event a new owner cannot be found, the Commissioner will submit the best lineup possible for that team until a new owner can be found.. No pickups/drops/trades will be allowed for that team until a new owner is found.
II. Player Drafts
A. Owners will build their team through a 4 round draft, where the first 2 rounds must be rookies and the last 2 can be FA players or rookies. The draft will be NFL Style (worst to first). The rookie draft will only have the pool of players eligible for the NFL draft. If a player is eligible for the NFL Draft but isn't in the hosting site player database, then a proxy pick can be made, where you select a player as a placeholder until the "real" player is added to the player database.
C. Trading of Draft Picks
1. You can trade Draft picks 1 year into the future at no charge.
2. You cannot trade future draft picks more than 1 draft in the future.
3. The current year's draft counts as one of the drafts in the future if the trade takes place before the current year's draft.
4. A combination of players / and current year draft picks or future draft picks 1 draft year in the future, which includes the current year's draft if it hasn't already been completed.
5. Draft picks can not be traded for money or any other considerations
.
6 .We will use a 12 hour window during the draft to protest a trade once a trade is made. The clock doesn't stop because of a trade, but only if there is a protest. Once a protest is made, the draft stops and the league has another 12 hour window to complete the vote. If a veto is made (see Trading Section on veto), anyone who drafted before or after the persons involved in the trade that was vetoed, is not affected by the veto. In other words, whoever they drafted is theirs.
7. One week before the upcomming draft you will be able to trade draft picks one year into the future.. Example, if the current draft is 2008, you will be able to trade 2009 picks one week before the 2008 draft.
Also, within 48 hours of the draft, you have up untiil the draft to protest any trades.
D. Once a draft selection has been posted it cannot be rescinded.
E. The rookie draft is to be held in May. The order of the draft will be determined by the results of the previous year, from worst to first for every round. The playoffs are included in the determination of the final team standings. The draft will not use a serpentine draft style, but will use the NFL style draft. The time limit to make a pick will be 24 hours.
F. Expansion draft guidelines:
1. Each current Owner will have to leave three of his players unprotected for the expansion draft. These three players can be at any position.
2. The expansion Owner will have the opportunity of taking one unprotected player from each current team to be on his roster. Each current Owner will only lose one player in the draft.
3. The rest of the players the expansion Owner will select from will come from the free agent pool.
4. The expansion Owner must select at least 9 players and not take more than 24 (in-season) and 26 (off-season). He can take as many as he chooses as long as he stays between those two numbers.
G. Passing / Skipping on Draft Picks / expiration of the 24 hour time limit for the Rookie Draft/ Illegal Roster during the draft:
1. If you get to the point where you don't want anymore picks, please post that you are finished with the draft. If the clock expires and your pick is skipped, you can make the pick you missed later in the draft (providing that player hasn't been selected), but if you don't notify the league you want your next pick before it comes up, that pick will be skipped also.
2. If the 24 hour time limit to make a pick has expired, the next team is on the clock. However, you can still make your pick anytime (same as the NFL does it). You may also trade that pick anytime during the draft. Once the last pick has been made you cannot trade or make a pick for any previous missed picks.
3. During the draft your roster must NOT be illegal at anytime. You cannot exceed the 24 man off-season roster limit at anytime,. If your pick makes your roster illegal, you must drop a player to make it legal.
III. Rosters
A. The minimum number of players on a roster is 9. The maximum number is 24 in season and 26 off-season.. You must cut your roster to 24 48 hrs before the start of the first game of the season. If you fail to reduce your roster by that time, the commissioner has the right to drop the last 2 players added to that roster.
B. Position eligibility. The final say on all roster eligibility will be what position the player is listed in hosting site.
C. Minimum's and maximum's:
Minimum: of 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR, RB, TE), 1 K, and 1 DEF.
Maximums: None
D. The off-season roster limit will is expanded to 26, but must be reduced back to 24 48 hrs before the start of the first game of the season. If you fail to reduce your roster by that time, the commissioner has the right to drop the last 2 players added to that roster.
IV. Starting lineups
A. All starting lineups will consist of the following: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 Flex (WR,RB,TE), 1 kicker, and 1 defensive team.
B. : Players Are Locked At Kickoff Of Their Game. Each player can be started/benched just prior to the start of his NFL game.
V. Scoring
Any scoring dispute must be made after the current week¡¦s games, and before the next week¡¦s first game. Changes will only be made if the hosting site allows it. The hosting site decisions on scoring is final unless a mistake has been made in the rules setups, which means that the hosting site setups contradict what is stated in the constitution. If that is the case, then the commissioner will use the constitution to change the hosting site setup if possible. It is the responsibility of each owner to read the constitution and compare it with the hosting site and make any discrepancies known to the league.

VI. Tiebreakers
A. Order of Tiebreakers
If desired, you may use up to four tie-breaking schemes for your league standings. Order the tiebreakers, with "1" being the first tie-breaker used. If one or more tie-breakers are not desired, leave the field blank.
1.) Total Points Scored
2.) Head-To-Head Record
3.) Divisional Record
4.) Power Rank
B. Playoff Tiebreaker
Designate Bench Player to break ties. If the points scored for the designated bench players still has the game tied, use Irony web site to roll the dice to determine a winner.
VII. Playoffs
A. Our regular season will end after NFL week 13. Playoffs will include 6 teams comprising of 2 division winners (seeded #1 and #2) and the next top 4 teams are wildcards seeded #3 thru #6. The "lowest" seed refers to the #6 seed and the "highest" seed refers to the #1 seed. The teams will be seeded on their 1) W-L record, 2) Total Points Scored, 3) Head-to-Head results, 4) Divisional Record, 5) Power Rank. The playoffs will begin in week 14 of the NFL season with the #3 seed playing the #6 seed and the #4 seed playing the #5 seed. The top two seeded teams (division winners) get a first round bye. In week 15 the #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seeded team and the #2 seed will play the highest remaining seeded team. The winners in week 15 will play the Super Bowl in week 16.
VIII. Transactions
A. Trading:
Notes:
1). At the conclusion of trading, roster must not exceed 24 players (in-season) or 26 players (off-season).
2). Trades must be fair. "Herschel Walker" trades are fair (Walker for several draft picks of highly touted rookies). Dumping players and collusion is not.
3) it takes 75% to veto trades instead of league majority (6 when there are 2 teams involved in a trade, and 5 when there are 3). If there are only 2 teams involved, that equates to 7.5, so we round up to 8. We should always round up when it's .5 or greater and round down when < .5. If there are 3 teams, then 75% of 9 is 8.25, so that would be 8 votes required. As you know, teams involved in the trade cannot vote. This lessens the likely hood that trades are vetoed because of league prejudice, meaning, that guy is ahead of me in the standings, so I will veto it. All members must vote unless their vote wouldn't affect the outcome. In other words, 75% has already been reached without their vote. In the event a vote is needed from someone who is out of town or unavailable to vote, the traded players may reside on their new team until a majority vote is reached. All veto votes are to be on the message board instead of by poll and that each owner who voted to veto a trade must post their reason why they vetoed a trade, or their vote is changed to a no.
4) None of the owners involved in the trade will have a vote
5) All league owners not involved in the trade will have 1 vote
6) If the vote ends in a tie, the trade stands
7) Owners have 48 hours from the time of the trade to protest a trade, unless the trade involves draft picks and the draft is in progress. If that is the case, see II Player Draft.
8). Trades can include draft picks for up to 1 draft year in the future and/or players. The current year's draft is considered a future draft pick if the draft hasn't taken place, with the one exception exlained in #9.
9). One week before the upcomming draft you will be able to trade draft picks one year into the future.. Example, if the current draft is 2008, you will be able to trade 2009 picks one week before the 2008 draft.
The Final trading deadline is on the Friday after the completion of NFL Week #11 at 6:00pm ET.
B. FA Pickups/drops:
Rule change for 2007 - We will be allowing placeholders for unlisted players for both the draft and free agent pickups.
1. Your roster may not exceed 24 players (in-season) or 26 players (off-season) after you make a free agent acquisition.
2. In-Season, we will use a Waiver Wire, then Free For All setting at the hosting site. The Waiver wire worst-to-first starts after week 1 with the free-for-all ending just before the first game of the season. You cannot submit waiver request before 7:00 a.m Tuesdays and must submit your waiver request by Wed 11:59 P.M. The waivers will process at approximately midnight on Thursday. . After that, it will be first-come-first-serve until the start of the first game for that week. .
3.There is no deadline for picking up free agents.
4 If a. person drops a player, but realizes he makes a mistake and contacts me or sends a league email within 30 min of his mistake, I will correct the error..
IX. Injured Reserve
None.
X. Player Retention
Since this is a dynasty league, every player on your team will be kept from year-to-year.
Since this is a dynasty league, every player on your team will be kept from year-to-year.
XI Schedule
Each team still plays teams within their division twice. Games played outside the division is based upon the standings of the previous year. Weaker teams get an easier 3 game schedule, better teams get a harder 3 game schedule.
1) First place teams play teams 1, 2, and 4 from the other division.
2) Second place teams play teams 1, 3, and 5
3) Third place teams play teams 2, 3, and 6
4) Fourth place teams play teams 1, 4, and 5
5) Fifth place teams play teams 2, 4, and 6
6) Sixth place teams play teams 3, 5, and 6
XII Scramble Divisions each year
The odd number drafting team will be the Eastern Division and the even number drafting team will be the Western Division.
XIII. Commissioner
League stability is our primary goal. This framework will govern the league:
A. Commissioner. Our goal is to have a very strong, yet fair Commissioner. The Commissioner is sworn to act at all times in the Best Interests of the League and is vested with the following powers:
1. Interpret the Constitution
2. Settle all position eligibility questions.
3. Approve team names.
4. Preside over draft and settle draft disputes.
5. Maintain the integrity of the league and its Owners by enforcing Article XII, "Expected Owner Conduct".
XIV. Expected Owner Conduct
Owners will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disparage the league nor its Owners in any way, shape, or form. While bragging is always a part of some Owner's personality and is to be expected, inflammatory or taunting acts will not be tolerated. The Commissioner will have total authority in drawing the line between bragging and taunting.
XV. League Disputes and Amendments to the Constitution.
A. Owners can call for a league vote anytime for all disputes except to override what the Commissioner is empowered to decide. (See XI Commissioner).
1. Owner notifies the Commissioner he is appealing the decision.
2. Commissioner notifies the league.
B. Amendments to the Constitution. Amendments to the Constitution are allowed in the off season. Thus, they can NEVER be made during a season, unless the integrity of league requires such a change. By definition, the season begins once the Commissioner accepts the first selection of the annual player draft. Amendments to the Constitution will follow this path:
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to change the Constitution except when the integrity of the league is at stake. An abstension is equivalent to a "no" vote.
2. If approved, the amendment becomes a permanent article of the Constitution and assumes equal status with all other articles.
C. Owner warnings: If an Owner is considered by the Commissioner to be conducting himself in a manner not in the best interest of the league.
1. The Commissioner issues a 1st warning.
2. Second occurrence, the Commissioner will call a league vote (minus the Owner in question), to remove that Owner from the league.
D. Removing an Owner. This is an extremely serious consideration, one that the league will seek to avoid at all costs. If it arises, this path will be followed:
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to remove an Owner except for the following reasons:
a) League Fees are not current after 2 weeks of receiving a warning from the Commissioner, after the league due date.
b) Obvious proof that an Owner is 'throwing' games to either assist / harm another owner or to improve one's draft position.
c) Proof of collusion or cheating in any manner.
2. The league will assume control of the team until a replacement can be found. No transactions will be permitted by this team until a replacement is found.
E. Removing a Commissioner. This also is an extremely serious situation. If it arises, this path will be followed.
1. A majority league vote (7) is required to remove the Commissioner.
2. A new Commissioner will be appointed by a majority vote
XVI. Fees
A. All Owners must have all fees paid current by April 1st.
1. If fees aren't paid by the league due date, a warning will be issued. After 2 weeks of this warning, the Owner will be replaced.
XVII. Prize Money
Make the playoffs = $100 (6 x 100 = 600)
Semi Finals Winners - $100 (2 x 100 = 200)
Super Bowl Champs - $300 (1 x 300 = 300)
Points Champ = $100 (1 x 100 = 100)
600 + 200 + 300 + 100 = 1200
