Meeting Decisions
Trade Teams:
Offseason ONLY
Team gets to keep players
New Teams:
Get the roster of team they are taking over
Draft in same spot as team they are taking over
Scoring Changes:
Defense gets points for low rushing and passing yards, including total yards passed contingent on software. Joker and the Board will figure out amounts for each.
Protected Players 2016:
Nothing new, working on the new Joker rule and seeing how it plays out
Opi’s Thoughts:
Get rid of grudge week – It’s gone
Play 17 weeks still – YES
Restructure the playoffs to 6 teams per conference – NO
Change to 2 divisions – 2 conferences – NO
Tie Breaker:
Position comparison head to head, 1 point added to the winner and discounted if needed for the playoffs.
5 tier categories are QB vs QB, RB vs RB, WR vs WR, TE vs TE and D vs D
If Team A and Team B tie then we compare categories. If Team A wins QB, WR & D and Team B wins RB & TE then Team A wins.
Free agent pickup time is now noon on Sunday
Protected players don’t need to be announced until draft day
Day to Day can be IR’d but commish has to do it
