Commissioner

Date Fri Sep 19 2:52:40 p.m. ET 2008

Guys, I'm going to re-evaluate the rule that bids must have a dropped player.  I have the authority under rule 11A.  I understand that a few owners did not read or misunderstood the message board post and subsequent e-mail on how teams were going to get to 34 players on their roster during the preseason free agency periods. I will process bids (starting tonight) that have "None" as a drop until are roster sizes are the same (34).  The rule will go back into effect after all rosters are at 34 players. 11A. Rule Re-Evaluation:  From time to time, a situation may arise in which the rules, as written, may lend themselves to harming the position of a team in a way for which they were not meant to do when written. If such a situation arises, the league Commissioner has the right to re-evaluate the league rules to determine whether the situation at hand is such that the intent of the rules when they were written can not be upheld because the literal interpretation would lend itself to the contrary. If so, the Commissioner can forego the rules, as written, in favor of the rule's intent.    If the commissioner comes to such a decision, he must inform the other league owners by email; explaining the situation, the decision to forego the rule in question, and the reasoning for making such a decision. League owners who believe that the situation in question does not warrant a reevaluation of the league rules must inform the commissioner within 24 hours. If three (3) league owners independently send a message to the Commissioner stating that they do not believe the rule should be forgone, the Commissioner's decision will be overruled. If not, the Commissioner's decision will be final. - Dave
