Following is the protocol for passing's rules. However, due to the potential adverse impact of certain tactics that tend to skew the real world realism that the game seeks to project, I am proposing to suspend Rules D) and E) which deal with the time frame during which a proposal may be adopted.
"A) Make a proposal
B) After a proposal gets a second and a third from different GM's it will go up for all league GM's to vote on it.
C) One GM one vote, majority rules.
D) Proposals are accepted after Pre-Season game 1 and before Week 15 of the regular season.
E) Voting will take place from Wild Card weekend til the off-week right before the Super Bowl.
F) This thread is for rule proposals and second and thirds only. (No debating or discussions)
G) Debating will be done in the Rules Debate thread to keep this thread clean.
F) Proposals will be up for vote for 7 calender days before being closed."
If suspension of the D) and E) is approved by a majority of voting GMs, the rule which I am proposing is as follows:
A GM shall NOT insert a player into a position on the depth chart (including overrides) during the regular season which deviates from the following:
1. RB may include only players whose primary position is RB, FB, TE or WR.
2. FB may include only players whose primary position is RB, FB or TE.
3. TE may include only players whose primary position is FB, TE, WR or an offensive lineman.
4. WR may include only players whose primary position is RB, FB, TE or WR.
5. Offensive line players may only include players whose primary position is offensive lineman or TE.
6. Defensive line players may only include players whose primary position is defensive lineman or LB.
7. LB may only include players whose primary position is LB or S.
8. S may only include players whose primary position is S, CB or LB.
9. CB may only include players whose primary position is CB or S.
10. Special teams rushers against punts shall exclude players whose primary positions are CB, FS, SS or WR. Such players may only be used as Gunners in punt return situations.
Any deviation from this rule, as determined by a majority of GMs who vote, shall result in the immediate removal of the offending GM from the Paydirt Football League, who shall also be blocked from rejoining PFL for not less than 30 days thereafter.
