Rules and Guidelines
Added Rules for 2003
3a) Jim Kelly rule - The total trade money will now be split at seasons end with the team taht scores the most total points during the regular season and the team that finishes best and does not make the playoffs, for 2003 that will be the 7th place team.
 
3b) Instant replay trade challenge rule - Each team will be giving two trade challenges per season. They may use these at anytime the see a trade they do not think is fair. When a challenge is played, each one of the teams involved in the trade will send an email to the league to explain why they think the trade is fair, also the team making the challenge can also send an email to the league on why he challenged the trade and why he thinks it should not be allowed. The remaining teams in the league (9 teams for 2003) will then vote on the trade. If the challenge is upheld the trade will be over turned and each one of the teams involved will be charged 1 of the challenges for that season, plus they will still pay the trade fees to the trade money pool for the trade. If the trade is voted to be fair and passes the teams making the challenge will be charged a challenge and will also cover the cost of the total trade for the both sides. (If a trade is to be challenged you have 24hrs from the time the trade is confirmed. Sorry cant hold up the league because some guys cant check emails everyday. Just something we have to live with.) (Same thing with the vote everyone will have 24 hrs to vote on a challenge. If you need votes one way or the other your more than welcome to do your own politics on the phone to get the votes you need.)
 
3c) Free Agent re-drafts - With 12 teams and 21 man rosters we will now be having 2 3 round re-drafts instead of 1 5 round re-draft. The re-drafts will take place starting the Tuesday after the 4th and 8th weeks of the season. So 1st re-draft starts on the Tuesday of week 5, and we will draft and drop in order of standing, with last place picking 1st.
 
3d) Entry Fee rule - Entry fee will remain at $40 for all those who pay by the start of the regular season. The entry fee will be $45 if paid by week 4, and it will go up to $50 if not paid by week 8. Anyone paying enrty fee after the end of the season get together will pay $60. Sorry to do this but it gets to be a pain in my side to chase people down after the season is over to collect enrty fees.
 
3e) Division Tie-Breaker - After a little debate about this last season, Division champion will be decided by best record overall, Tie breakers will now be, Head to head then Division Record, If still tied Total points then total points allowed. Wilcard teams tiebreakers will still be head to head then total points scored.
