[DrJ 0]

Passed Proposals:

-----------------------------

 

#1 - Minimum position requirements will only be in effect in season. Deadline to fill minimums is final lottery before week 1.

 

#2 - Starting in 06, the drafts will be straight drafts worst to first in all rounds

 

#3 - There will be a regular season tiebreak system. Potential points will be used to break ties. If there is a still a tie after this tiebreaker, a tie will be awarded.

 

#4 - Trades no longer require league voting and are processed immediately. The commish reserves the right to investigate if collusion is suspected on a trade.

 

#5 - Defense/Special Teams scoring is being adjusted. The bonus for yardage on kick/punt return TD's is being done away with and the scoring for some defensive categories was boosted, including a bonus for points allowed outside of a shutout.

 

#6 - Supplemental draft system implemented, will be used to distribute players if there is an NFL supplemental draft

 

# 7 - Start of draft has moved to 1 week after roster cutdown deadline.

 

#8 - Changed roster submission deadlines, allowing players to be swapped up until kickoff of their game.

 

#9 - Rule stating you can't take 3rd defense until everyone has 2 has been removed

Sorry guys, the whole relocation/job thing has caused me to be behind on this stuff.

 

Here's the current status of everything, hopefully we'll have this wrapped up very shortly.

A couple things that we should consider in 06:

 

1) Instituting a penalty for missing the cut deadline.

 

2) Consider moving the Tuesday lottery to Wednesday just to get it farther away from the end of MNF.

Dang. I thought this had been done already. Monday night waivers is a PITA.
