i. If an owner fails to play out the season, the league will take a vote to kick theowner out of the league

b. In the case of an owner leaving the league voluntarily or involuntarily, we will find areplacement owner and he will take over the previous owners team.

5. Tradesa. Trades will go through a two day review.b. If a majority of the league votes against the trade, it will be vetoed.

i. However, I urge owners not to vote against a trade unless there is reason tothink that there is collusion involved.

1. The veto process is there to stop cheating, not to change the way otherowners operate their team.

ii. This is a keeper league so just because you may think it is a bad trade the ownermay be doing the trade to set himself up for the future or he may truly think it is

helping his team.

1. This is not for you to decide.6. Free Agency

a. The league will use a free agent auction.b. Each team will be given $100 dollars to spend throughout the year in free agency.c. After a player is dropped there will be a standard waiver period during which the

owners can bid for that player.

d. A silent auction will take place; therefore, the owner will bid as much as he wants to payfor that player without knowing what other owners are bidding for that player.

e. You may place a $0 bid on a player.f. You still have to drop a player to make room for the new player on your roster unless

you already have an empty roster slot.

7. Rostera. The rosters will consist of:

i. QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, TE, DEF/ST, K, BE, BE, BE, BE, BE, BE, BE.b. Owners are not required to have a valid starting lineup each week if he feels it gives him

a better chance to win.
