We did not vote to suspend the rule relative to when a rule may be adopted. Hence, the proposed new rule will NOT go into effect.

If there is is desire after this season to implement the rule, i.e., someone proposes the rule and it gets a second and third, we'll reconsider it and/or some other proposal next season.

Thank you.

Then let the games begin gentleman Yay!!!!!#

Since Beercloud left, there has been no rules sticky forum. I feel like we should put it back in place so new owners to the league understand everything going on

I have looked and cant find it. But that's my point, we keep talking about rules, when there are no rules stated in the forums

Can anyone help find it?

Team owners aren't allowed to trade away all three of their 1st round picks in a single season. The exception being that they own another 1st round pick within those 3 years, which then becomes untradeable.

There may be other rules that I couldn't find I know another one is you can only trade with the same team twice per season. Another one is no tanking.

Great job, awest.

Now that we have some time before the season ends... how are you guys feeling about adding more weight restrictions?

Just saw this rule in other league and I think it would be interesting to start a discussion about it:

Imo there is no need for all this rules, we will not be able to follow them and only DL can make a difference
