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

LOTTERY 2009 presented by draftorder.com
September 1, 2009
INTEGRITY RULE
If a team does not submit , or submits a lineup containing a player
(s) on the IR/DL for more than 3 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 or a DH. 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from a team and is no longer active.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 two weeks
during the regular season or has not had contacted the league in this
time period will be considered abandoned. If a team has been ruled as
abandoned, the league commissioner (BoG) will run the team for the
remainder of the season if another owner isn't found. 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 / Board of
Governors at any time and for any reason.
