Trade Deadline FEB 11, 2007 @ 8pm est
All trades must be complete by then ... (posted and voted on)

Trades will be handled in the following manner. Two teams
work out a deal.

One of the trading teams must post the trade on the
message board.

A poll will be posted and teams are required to cast a vote.
Both GM`s will have a spot to vote as will the `Duh` Commish.

YES ... Approve
NO ... I`ll post why
GM vote

DUH Commish

Any league member, can post an objection to this potential trade on
the message board. This objection should be based on a statistical
argument on why this trade
is too one sided to be allowed. Please keep this objection in a
professional format. We are all professionals here and personal
attacks will not be tolerated.

All votes in favor of a trade veto MUST post their reason/reasons on
the message board, why they think a trade is too one-sided to be
allowed. Any votes to veto a trade that is not backed up by an
explanation on the board will not count. This procedure was designed
to eliminate any stealth veto votes.

A majority of the league based on a reasonable review period * will
decide the fate of a trade.

* Reasonable review period is defined as a period of time that we can
assume a majority of the league has had an opportunity to receive and
review e-mail. Since it should be understood that, unless out of town,
each league member should bear the responsibility to receive, review
and respond to e-mail at least every other day during the season.

All off season trades will not be processed till EVERYONE votes.

FREE AGENTS
You may add any player currently playing in the NHL

POST SEASON
The three division winners as well as the next best team according to
record (wild card) will make up the playoff field. Each playoff round
will last 2 weeks and be a total score series.

WHA PLAYOFFS
Wild Card Round -
March 5th - 18th
Wild Card vs 1 Seed
3 Seed vs 2 Seed

WHA AVCO CUP FINALS
March 19th - April 1st

DRAFT LOTTERY March 25, 2010
All teams that didn't make the playoffs will be eligible for the draft
lottery. The playoff teams will draft in the last four spots and will
be ordered inversely to their finish (League Champion will draft last,
2nd place will draft 11th and so on). The eight non-playoff teams will
be in the draft lottery. The last place team will have the greatest
chance of winning the first pick.

Once the lottery has been completed the whole draft order will be
posted. Each year`s draft will be linear in format 1-12, 1-12 ... and
consist of 14 rounds.

INTEGRITY RULE
If a team does not submit , or submits a lineup containing a player
(s) on the IR/DL for more than 7 days, the commissioner will replace
that player (s) with an active player in their place. The player that
will be replacing the IR player will be the commissioners choice and
in most situations it would be the highest scoring player at that
position on that teams bench. The same will be done for a player that
has experienced a season ending injury or has been cut from a team and
is no longer active. This rule will keep the league more competitive
and guard against teams from having incomplete rosters. This rule is
used to strengthen the league. All teams should compete on a fare and
competitive level each week. Some teams may not have a player
available at a position due to injury. In this case, the spot cannot
be changed by the league. The commissioner will evaluate the weekly
lineups and make the changes if necessary for the team.

TEAM ABANDONMENT
Any team that does not update their roster for a period of three weeks
during the regular season or has not had contacted the league in this
time period will be considered abandon. If a team has been ruled as
abandoned, the league commissioner (BoG) will run the team for the
remainder of the season. All efforts will be made by the league before
announcing a team as abandoned. The franchise will then be `sold` at
years end. The team or teams will be assigned new owners. Teams stay
AS/IS ... no combination or entry draft will be held at ANY TIME.

Expected Owner Conduct
Owners will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will
not disparage the league nor its owners in any way, shape or form.
While bragging is always a part of many owner`s personality and is to
be expected, inflammatory or taunting acts will not be tolerated.
The Commissioner will have total authority in drawing the line between
a brag and a taunt. This will be strictly enforced.

************
All rules subject to change or adjustment by Commissioner at any time
and for any reason.
