League Rules Comments

Post any questions or comments here on the league rules, or rule changes.

How will waivers work? I'm sorry, I know I ask this every year and it has most likely been discussed and I most likely missed it.

I know you can have 16 players and I will only have 13 after the draft and may or may not have a DE/DT?


Here is what I found in the rules........

"Your roster may have more than 16 players up until the start of the regular season. After that you must have only 16. "

"Waivers will begin after the first week of the season has been completed. The waiver order will be determined by the following (the final criteria used may vary slightly):

Overall winning percentage
Power ranking as determined by MFL.com
Total points scored YTD
Reverse order of opponents total points against
Head-to-head record
Conference winning percentage
Divisional winning percentage

Owners may enter waiver requests starting Tuesday through Saturday. The commissioners will process waiver requests twice per week, Thursday and Saturday mornings (any time after 12:00 AM CT). There will be four rounds of waivers processed twice each week. Team owners may make up to four requests during each of the two waivers process."


Thanks

We always run 1 waiver before the first week. I will process them Wednesday night/Thursday morning at Midnight central on September 7th.

After the draft is over, you may submit waiver requests at any time, but they won't be processed until that Thursday morning.

The waiver order will be the reverse of the original draft order for the initial process, then it goes by the process in the rules.

IDP Position Changes: The commissioners are able to alter player position listings at MFL.com, however, two conditions must be met to do so:

1. Someone must bring to our attention the player in question, we will not go around patrolling everyones roster to check for this. If you notice that one of your players, or even one of the players on another owners roster, is incorrect you can notify a commissioner at any time to inform them of your concern.

2. The commissioners will use the teams official website of the player in question to decide what position he should be listed at. A commissioner will go to NFL.com, then go to "depth charts", then click on that teams "official site" link. Once at the teams official site the commissioner will click on their "depth chart" link and use that to determine what position the player should be listed at.

Trying to make the Super Bowl exciting are you?!? When did the Ravens switch back to a 3-4 defense? They had him listed as a 4-3 DE all year. Oh well, Hali it is!

for the most part, i dont think its that big of a drop off for you, hali has been playing great lately

[Rams]

Agreed, and he has a great matchup this week as well. Oakland even made the Rams defense look good!

How about points for running backs catching a pass?

We don't do that because RBs are already too valuable and hard to get. Giving TEs and WRs PPR evens the playing field out so a team can still be competitive with out a top 5-10 RB.

Right now the top 20 players looks like this:

QBs - 5
RBs - 4
WRs - 6
LBs - 4
DBs - 1

Pretty even if you ask me, it would be way lopsided if we gave RBs PPR.

I think we should visit this subject. I could see something like rb's=.5 per, wr's=1 and te's=1.5 making things as fair as possible. Right now I dont believe a RB makes the difference and even team's with fair wr's stand better chance even if they dont have a startable rb and TE's even at 1.5 wont be worth squat but maybe a little more.

I'm sure you do Mr. LJ.

? LJ only has 36 receptions sofar wich would equate to 18 points in this setup. Just over a point a game not much damage there. It would mostly help give some value to those 3rd down backs......oh and Reggie Bush lol. Not in favor of point per reception vs my proposal of .5 per cause alot of RB's get 3-4 reception for zippy or even negative yds and shouldnt get full credit for dumpoff passes to avoid sacks....However we need to equal the value of all positions and their contributions to the game.

I wanna thank you Broncos, had you not done this I would probably have started Suggs over Hali. Every cloud has a silver lining!
