Just realized that RB is not included in the allowed positions for TE. But since WR is there, I assume RB is allowed, right? The reason I ask is because I like to play my H-Back at RB.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the league and of course there has 20 seasons of debate, votes and rules which I have missed.

I want to fully comply with all the league rules but there doesn't seem to be a "Rules Thread" with all the rules listed together and just as important...the thread should be Locked so nobody can post in that thread.

Thanks for any help in advance in providing a list of all the rules.
I asked Beercloud to forward any rules which he had. The following is his response. We’ll have a discussion about them AFTER the season is over in terms of changes, deletions or additions. Nevertheless, we’ll try to abide by them until then - at least the spirit if not the letter. That is, other than firing GMs - which will be deferred until after next season.

If any GM is interested, please consider how you can actively participate in helping to operate the league.

☆

Ok....for clarity

The rules say this

Trades:
2 trade rule:
a) A team can only trade with each team in the league twice per season.

Then later say this

You may make a trade with another team until the trading deadline of Week 8. There is a limit of three trades between any two teams per season. New accounts are restricted from making trades until they are 30 days old.

I'm assuming the limit is 3 trades between 2 teams during a season since that is standard but I just want clarity.

OK It is 2 trades. It was a typo I think? I did not write the rules. I will update ASAP. Sorry guys I am now completely finished with the move and swettlimg my retirement plans. I will have full time to devote to MFN fro0m today forward. I hadn't planned on thgis process of retirement and moving being so long and drawn out.............................................MM
