Your team must have no more than 14 players.

You must draft:

1 - Quarterback
2 - Running Backs
3 - Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
1 - Kicker
1 - Team Defense

The remaining 6 players can be at any position

The trading deadline is week 11. There is no trading after this time for any reason. If all of your running backs get murdered by their drug dealers in week 13, you are out of luck. Make sure and be prepared, especially if your kicker has a hamstring that acts up quite a bit.

Trading is first come, first serve. You can either e-mail the commissioner or leave a message on his answering machine.  Either way, I will know the exact time you requested the trade. Results of any trade requests will be e-mailed and posted at approximately 10:00 pm every day (barring any catastrophes, like the commissioner being on a date).

You cannot request a trade while a football game is being played. Trades cannot be requested on Sunday between the kickoff of the first game and the end of the night game. If a trade is requested while a game is being played, the request will be ignored, although the commissioner will likely give a friendly reminder for the person to request the trade at the appropriate time.

If you cannot field a team during any week due to one or more of your players being on byes, you may pick up a temporary (T) player for that week only. You are granted no rights to this player. As soon as that player is done for the week, he becomes a free agent. If at this point you decide you want to keep the temporary player, you must request a trade for him at an appropriate time, plus pay $2 like you would for a normal trade, in addition to the $1 you already spent to pick him up as a temporary. Of course, you can always trade for the player before the week begins instead of picking him up as a temporary.

Please be specific when requesting a trade if it is a temporary pickup. If you do not request so specifically, the trade will be treated as if it were permanent.

NOTE: If you cannot field a team due to injures, you may not pick up a temporary player.  For instance, if you have three running backs, and one is on a bye while one is injured, you may not pick up a temporary player. However, if two of your three running backs were on a bye, you could pick up a temporary.

Trades may be made between two teams.  Each person must pay $2 for the trade. You can trade as many players as you like, but you must end up with 14 players when the dust settles. If you want to make a 2-for-1 trade, the team who picked up the 2 players must drop another from their roster so they wind up with 14 players.

Your lineup shall consist of:

1 - Quarterback
2 - Running Backs
3 - Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
1 - Kicker
1 - Team Defense

Your selections must be either e-mailed or called in to the commissioner. You should also give your picks to your opponent for that week as a courtesy. All picks must be made by 11:59 CST on Sunday otherwise you forfeit all scoring for undecided positions for that week.

The commissioner will e-mail his picks to all league members by 11:59 CST to ensure honesty.

If there are games being played before Sunday for a particular week (e.g. Thanksgiving), and you have players in that game you would like to pick, you must submit those players to the commissioner before kickoff. However, you need not submit the rest of your lineup until Sunday.
