Rule changes-

Competition committee met in July and decided on the following rule changes for 2009:

1) Additional starting position called Flex Player which can be either a RB, Wr ot TE. So now 9 starters 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K 1 DEf and 1 Flex (R/W/T)

2) 14 teams in the league versus 16 from last year. 7 Teams make playoffs. Playoffs will be #1 team gets bye in first week and #2-7 play each other

3) Active scoring as in if a player scored a TD on a KO or Punt RTn they get 6 points as well as the Specail Teams

4) Free agency aquistion budget-instead of first come first serve (whoever clicks the mouse first on sunday afternoon gets the new RB replacement) we cannow use a FAAB system where each owner gets $1000 play money to use throughout the year. You blind bid some of your budget to get players on the FA list. The computer awards the player at the end of the week to the team with the highest bid. More later
