By-Laws

: Injuries

If you have a player who has a new injury of out or worse you will be allowed to pick up another player before waivers through the commish. His status MUST be NEW and listed on the RT sports or the ESPN injury website http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/injuries. "New" is defined as an injury that occurred in last week’s game, meaning he must have been active at least 1 down in the previous game. Injury pickups are only allowed before the waiver wire runs on Wednesday nights. After that, you can pick up someone for your injured player or another player during the waiver wire or in the free for all. Any player acquired off the waiver due to injury after week 13 the injured player must be dropped from your roster for the remainder of the season and will be restricted. Please be sure to give the commish ample time before the waiver wire to get an injury pickup. You are not guaranteed an injury pickup if you put in a late request. The best way to put in a request is to send Jeff a text at 401-255-1641

Free-agent and trade fees

ALL Free agents will be $1.00 regardless of the reason for the pickup, this includes injury pickups. Trades will be allowed and will not need
any OK from the commish, if you want to make a trade and both teams agree on the terms then go for it. The fees for trades will be a $1.00 fee for each player acquired and a $1.00 fee for each player traded away. Trades made for draft money for next year will have to go through the commish. Trades for the draft cap money for following years draft will be capped at $15 total for the season. This includes all trades for teams receiving cap money. Trades for multiple players are allowed but NO trade can result in putting a team over the roster cap limit. Any trade will be subject to review by the committee and commish at any time if there is a question as to the terms of the trade by the other teams in the league with a legitimate reason as to why the trade should be nullified.

Transaction deadlines

After week 10 trades will be suspended..

At the start of week 13 all players dropped into free-agency will be restricted through the remainder of the season.

You will be allowed to pick up unrestricted free agents through the end of the season.

Play-off seeding

Play-off spots for the head-to-head competition are as follows, the winner of each division will go and the 2 teams with the best overall record will have a bye in the first round. In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker will be division record then head to head against each other, then points scored in all division games. The next 3 teams with the best "OVERALL" record will advance as wild cards. The first round of the playoffs will be team 3 vs. team 6, team 4 vs. team 5. The winners will advance team 1 will play the winner of 3, 6 and team 2 will play the winner of team 4, 5. If you win one of the trophies you must rejoin the league the following year to defend your title. The head-to-head Super bowl will be in week 17 of the regular season. A Tie is worth .5 wins and .5 losses. I.e. if your record at the end of the season is 7-5 and mine is 6-4-2 the 2 tie games equal 1 win and 1 loss making my record tied with yours. And the predetermined tie-breaking scheme will be used to decide the playoff slot. In the case of a tie in the playoffs, BOTH teams will advance and play in a 3-way game the following week where the highest scoring team will advance. In the case of a tie in the super bowl, both teams will continue and play again in week 18 to decide the
winner. If tied again the team with the most total points in Division games during the regular season will win the pot.

Divisional tiebreaker

The tiebreaker for division winner will be division record then head to head against each other then total points scored against each other, if still tied the final tiebreaker will be total points scored in all division games.

Wildcard tiebreaker

The tiebreaker for a wildcard will be Division record, head to head record against each other, (if clear cut and applicable) then total points scored in all division games.

Flex Position

We will continue to incorporate a FLEX player for the WR and TE positions. There will be 4 starting slots available to fill for this flex player. You will be allowed to fill them as you wish. Start 4 WR, start 3 WR and a TE start 2 and 2 whatever you want. This will give you more flexibility and a better chance to work around byes and
injuries.
