OK, FOLKS:
clearly we're gonna need league rules.
What I'm posting is the last league rules i had..
THIS DOC/THREAD ARE NOT THE LEAGUE RULES.
This thread is to take what was once used and update it to what you want to use. What you are reading is just a starting point.
I pulled it off my Google docs from the leagues I used to run, years ago.
What worked in 2020 clearly won't work today and moving forward.
Let's talk about what to keep and WHY.
I appreciate y'all helping me take PAYDIRT into the future.
Muchas Gracias!

*Any GM may contact me directly via PM through MFN (Daily Check).
NO TANKING! The league will not stand for it. Fight the good fight all the way to the end even if you have been eliminated.
Activity and caps will be monitored in an effort to prevent accidental or purposeful team destruction.

*PUNTER RULES:
1. All teams must play their punter in all punt formations AT the punter position.
2. Punters must have potential or maximum attributes of not less than a 75 in punt timing, accuracy, and strength. This is indicated by the blue (potential) and red (current) coloured bar next to each attribute in the player card. If further clarity is needed, please contact the League Administrator.
ATTENDANCE:
1. Any GM not logging in for 10+ days, regardless of tenure, will be removed from the league.
