TRADES AND FREE AGENTS
Trading - unlimited
Players, draft picks and defense/special team can be traded. Trades
will be handled in the following manner. Two teams work out a deal. At
least 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. A
minimum of 9 votes are needed to pass the trade. (9 total votes) 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 shouldn't be passed. ALL posts are required to be 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.
My fantasy League will send out a global email to all teams upon
completion of the trade.

LEAGUE COMMUNICATION
AFL uses AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM) as its primary instant
messaging tool. www.aim.com.
AIM is free (you do not need AOL to use AIM), reliable, and stable.
Since no email address is tied to your user account (unlike Yahoo or
MSN) there is no spam. AIM uses very little bandwidth so it won't slow
you down even on a dialup connection. Unlike Yahoo and MSN, you don't
get unsolicited advertising messages. It's both secure and safe. In
short, of all IM software AIM is simply the easiest and safest
software. It will provide our league a much better drafting experience
than the league chat room.
For those who do not already use AIM, now is the time. Before you
download you'll need to provide some basic information including a
screen name which you create. It's a 3.24 meg download so it won't
take very long, even on dialup. Be sure to note where the file is
saving. Saving it to your desktop would make finding it later very
easy. Once it completes the download, double click on the file. It
will ask you a few questions and then install the program. The install
is quick and painless.
If you already use AIM on another computer (such as work) you can
simple install the software on your computer and sign in with that
screen name and your "address book" will automatically load.
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 the Board of Governors
at any time and for any reason. (Some restrictions apply) Trade
Deadline / Roster Freeze / Position Max and Max Moves will never
change)
