I’ve made a few changes to the Rulebook, one to help prevent “roster churning”, and a bunch of others to help mitigate and possible issues we might have with COVID. You can view those changes below.
XI. Waiver Wire
Once a player is dropped from a team, he can’t be picked up by another team for 24 hours giving everybody a chance at picking up that player.
To prevent “roster churningâ€, which is picking up and dropping players just to lock them from others, players picked up must remain on their team’s roster for two days.
Temporary COVID Rules
I’m putting these temporary rules in place to hopefully mitigate any possible issues we might have this season.
I. Lineups
To accommodate any last-minute COVID issues, lineup changes can be made up until the kickoff of each player’s game.
II. Transactions
Transactions will now be able to be performed up until the kickoff of each player’s game. Players added to the NFL COVID list will be marked with the “C†designation. They will be eligible for IR. The number of IR spots will still be five, but could possibly be extended if I deem necessary.
III. Payouts
MFL will refund our league fees if the season is less than 7 weeks long. If the NFL season is canceled within the first six weeks, the season won’t count and all money will be rolled over for next season. If the season is suddenly canceled after 7 weeks, I will seed the playoffs as if they were starting that week. Fantasy Bowl winner money will go to 1st seed, Fantasy Bowl loser money will go to 2nd seed, and divisional winner money will go to the top teams of each division.
