the same division. Can be used for any amount of teams tied.
* Most total points scored by teams will be the third tie-breaker
* For tie-breakers involving 3 or more teams,once a team is eliminated or promoted from the tie-breaker, the remaining
teams in the tie-breaker will start at step 1 again.
Toilet Bowl
* All non-playoff qualifiers will play in the toilet bowl. Teams will be seeded 1 (best) to 6 (worst). Seedings will
be determined the same as the wildcard teams are. Tiebreakers (for seeding and tie games) will be the same as the
playoff teams.

* The loser of the Toilet Bowl will be awarded a Baby Ruth candy bar (watch Caddyshack) and the #1 pick in the 2005

Trades:
* Trading deadline is week 10.
* Trades must be approved by the commissioner to be finalized. Commissioner will approve all trades that appear to
benefit both teams. Trades that are obviously one sided or appear to be collusion will not be approved.
* Owners who have trades vetoed by the commissioner have the right to appeal to the rest of the league. The owner in
question must notify the commissioner that he appeals the decision. The commissioner will then put the trade to a
vote by all owners not involved in the trade. The trade must be approved by more than half of those teams The
commissioner will not vote.
* Once a player is traded to another team, he may not be traded back to you from the same team for a minimum time of 4
weeks.
* Trades must be made 24 hours prior to any one of the players' scheduled games, otherwise the trade will go into
effect on the following Tuesday.

not make a trade involving the 2005 season draft picks.
* Prior to the start of the draft, owners may trade draft picks, players, or a combination of the two.
Roster:
* Each team can carry up to 18 players, plus two IR slots. The IR slots are reserved for players put on IR by their
NFL teams or have been declared out on the NFL injury report. The player must be moved back to the active roster or
waived as soon as they have been declared able to play by their NFL team. An owner will be fielding an illegal team
if it holds a player on IR that is not determined to be injured by the NFL, and as such will forfeit his game if he
has 17 or 18 players on his roster.
* Each starting lineup will consist of:
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 Flex (RB/WR/TE)
1 Kicker
1 Defense/Special Teams
9 Players total
* A starting lineup that does not consist of the above (too many in any position) will be considered illegal and will
result in a forfeit. Starting a bye-week player will be considered legal, however you will get zero points from him.
* Starting lineups may be made at any time before an individuals game has started. Players whose game have started
will be locked for that week and their status will remain the same as the previous week. If a lineup is not submitted
by the deadline, the previous week?s starting lineup will be used. (Except for week 1, which will result in a
forfeit.)
* If you are unable to access a computer to make changes, you may call the commissioner at 239-278-5174 and make the
changes before game time of the player or players in question. If there is no answer, leave a message. The
commissioners answering machine has a time and date stamp feature.
Keepers:
* Each team can keep up to 4 players from their previous year's roster.
* For each player you keep, you will forfeit your draft pick for the round ONE SPOT HIGHER than which that player was originally
drafted.
* Players traded may be used as keepers by their new teams. The players original draft pick will stay with him and
the new owner may keep him by forfeiting the same round pick as the original owner. This will remain the same even if the player is traded
during his second year.
* Players picked up from waivers may be kept in their first year for the cost of a 12th round pick.
* If more then one player is eligible to be kept in the same round, you must give up the round in question, as well as the next highest available round.
* The deadline for determining your keepers and notifying the commissioner is July 31st each year.
Waivers:
* Franchises can submit waiver wire requests to the league
web site by Wednesday evening.
* The order you place your waivers will determine whom you pick up first. (For example, Fred Taylor as first, Kevin
Faulk as second, and Ben Gay as third. Your waivers will be selected in that order.)

* The league site will determine the waiver order based on the league tie breaker rules.

Draft :
* The 2009 draft will be a slow draft with a starting date that is agreed upon by all members.
* The draft order will use the following formula starting in 2010:
1 Toilet Bowl loser
2-6 worst to first from the previous year's
regular season standings.
7-8 based on regular season record of wild card round
losers.
9 for 4th place playoff finisher
10 for 3rd place playoff finisher
11 for Super Bowl loser
12 for Super Bowl winner
* Pick order will snake. The odd-numbered rounds will be 1 to 12, then 12 to 1 in the even numbered rounds.
* Draft picks may be traded. The deadline for trading draft picks is prior to the start of the draft.
* There will be 18 rounds.
* The time limit for drafting players is 4 hours, initially. If I feel the draft will not complete before the season kicks off, I will reduce this time. If a player does not make a selection in the allotted time, the computer will draft for the player.
* Keeper picks will be entered in the appropriate slot on the draft board before the draft begins.
Absentee Owners:
* Team owners are expected to check into the league board periodically during the off-season, in order to confirm
that they wish to remain in the league, discuss and vote on any rule changes, and any other issues that might occur.
* If you do not confirm your status in the league, e-mails will be sent to your registered e-mail account. If you do
not respond by August 1, you will be dropped by the league and a replacement owner will be invited to join the league.
* Team owners who do not make line-up changes or NFL picks during a week during the season will be contacted by the
commissioner. If a response is not received or a second week goes by without any league activity, the commissioner
will take control of the team and try to find a new owner.
* In the time between seizure and securing a new owner the commissioner along with two other team owners will select
the best possible line-up for the team in question. This will insure that all owners will play the team at it's best.
* If the original owner comes forward to reclaim the team,
the issue will be put to a vote of the league and must be approved by over half of the members.
Other Issues:
* Any issues or conflicts that arise during the season that are not specifically covered in these by-laws will be put
to a vote of the league members. All issues or conflicts must be approved by over half of the league members.
* By-laws changes may be proposed by any league member. These changes will be put to a vote by all members of the
league. All proposals must by approved by more than half of the league members in order to become a part of the
by-laws. Rule changes will only be made during the time after the All-Star Game and the start of the next draft.
