SEASON IX UPDATES
-Division changes.
In an effort to help balance out the Douche division, I shuffled 2 teams. Blind Monkeys has switched with The Agency. So it is now:
BM, DD, H8 & DB
TA, RO, BG & SX
HM, KC, JR & GH
CO, TS, BE & IP
Please remember you play every team in your division twice, every team in your conference once and you will play 3 teams from another division in a non-conference play.

-Teams caps, moves, and free agency/waivers
The days of Waiver bucks are gone, and we are back to the rolling waiver wire. A team that is higher on the rolling list will be given the player if more than 1 team tries to acquire him. After a successful acquisition, that team is rolled to the end of the list. For those that remember this was the standard method of getting waived players before last year. Please note this is for "Waived" players only, not for regular free agents.
Team acquisition caps were set at 50/season and max trade for players caps at 10/season. =
No team came close to the max trades and I came up with the 50/season by the following average: 3.5 acquisitions/week x 13 weeks = 45.5 + 5 preseason acquisitions = 50.5 which was rounded down. Each team has 22 draft picks for a 25 person roster meaning most will need 3 to fill their roster, during preseason so I felt this was a fair number. Please note this is for acquisitions only, drops do not count toward this total. Also there is no max per week, it is 50 for the season.

-Positions and stat changes
No more IR spot, it is irrelevant in this league since it is not a keeper league and once a player is moved to the IR, their season is over.
Yahoo screwed more than a few people last year by itemizing their defensive positions. This year we use the following 6 man starting defense:
2 DB's - two defensive backs, they can be safties, cornerbacks, dime or nickelbacks...any 2 DB's
2 LB's - two linebackers, they can be left, right, middle, strong or weak...any 2 LB's
1 DL - one defensive lineman, you can use a tackle, end or noseguard...any defensive lineman
1 D - the slash spot, can be filled with any defensive player...ANY DEFENSIVE PLAYER.
If I understand Yahoo correctly all players will be noted with their position as it pertains to the league, this should help avoid confusion while picking up players:
Ex. Dwight Freeney, although a DE, will be listed as a DL when viewed in our league.
Ex. Darelle Revis, although a CB, will be listed as a DB when viewed in our league.
Stat changes were very minor this year:
Rushing- points per carry increased from .2 to .25
Passing- bonus increased. 350 passing yards nets you 3.5 bonus points.
Return- yards increased. 30 return yards nets you 1 pt.
Unfortunately even though some of you requested the following were not allowed or were not changed. Negative points for missed FG's, negative points on the QB for sacks, negative points on the QB for interceptions, Decreased points for defensive sacks from 3 to 2, 2 point conversions (I wanted this too, but we would have to lose another point category if we added this; so if your player scores a 2 point conversion, they get credit for the catch or carry and the yards involved but not 2 points for the score.) And for whatever reason, we can't add an offensive fumble return for a TD, don't know why this is separate or why the hell yahoo would do this but it will not be added. (EX: means if a RB fumbles the ball and your player picks up the ball and scores no TD is awarded)

By the way 24 days to go. As far as I know these are the teams status for the draft.
Attending:
KC, JR, CO,TS, IP(will be represented),RO, BG,BM, TA, DD and DB
Not attending:
CO, HM, H8, TA
Probables:
BE

For the teams not attending they need to make arrangements with how they want their teams drafted. I am assuming they could use Skype, go online and participate; or they can have someone represent them or they can even sumbit their picks by a list.
