J.R.F.H.L. Keeper Draft
Rules
1) General
a) This is an ongoing pool. This means that the players you choose in the first draft could feasibly be on your team in year 2012. Everything possible is being done to ensure that everyone in this pool is extremely knowledgeable about hockey, and extremely serious about hockey pools. I don’t want people quitting after three years just because they’ve done poorly. Suck it up and rebuild! Sure it costs money, but it’s not about the money, it’s about fun (and bragging rights).
b) Ideally everyone will be in this pool for decades, but there will be times when people quit. When this happens, the original owner may sell his team to another individual with approval from the BOG. If the owner abandons his team anyone interested in joining the pool will submit bids to me, sealed in an envelope, by a deadline. The minimum bid is $50. All earnings made by the league from expansion, sold teams, and sponsorships not spent on league costs will be returned to all owners on draft days via free food and drinks.
c) Every year, prior to the draft, owners can submit proposals for rule adjustments or additions. A vote of greater than 50% would pass the proposal.
2) Commissioner and co-Commish:
a) If there is any problems that come up during the year the Commissioner and co-Commish shall try to solve it keeping the leagues best interests in mind.
b) If the problem can not be resolved then the issue shall be put to the league online to be discussed for 1 week. After the discussion the league will vote on the problem. If the vote is a tie then a coin flip will decide the outcome if a compromise can not be met.
c) To bring up a problem/rule change to the league a GM must first PM the Commissioner and co-Commish with his suggestion. From there it will be up to the Commissioner and co-Commish to handle the issue.
d) If any GM is not happy with how the Commissioner and co-Commish have handled the issue then after 1 week he may bring it up in the "Commissioner and co-Commish Issues and Rule Changes Discussion Board" board.
e) The Commissioner and co-Commish shall rule on such things as questionable trades as well as disciplinary measures to be regarding GM inactivity & unsportsmanlike behavior. They shall also rule on any proposed rule changes (only minor ones) and other important issues that shall arise during the course of the leagues life.
f) The Commissioner and co-Commish shall be in charge of collecting all monies, running web sites, setting draft dates, & all other leg work that everybody else is to lazy to do.
g) Hence forth, everytime you see the word BOG in the rules it is now Commissioner and co-Commish.
3) Franchises / Size of teams:
a) There will be a maximum of 15 franchises in this draft.
b) b) Each franchise shall have a live roster consisting of 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goaltenders. This is a minimum requirement of GMs to field a team.
c) Each franchise shall have a “farm team” consisting of 8 NHL players of any position to draw upon in case of injuries or lack of playing time. During the course of the year the farm team numbers may fluctuate (thru trades or calling up prospects) but it must return to a max. of 8 players every July 1.
d) Each franchise shall have a “prospect list” of 5 players / year from which to draw upon during the year to be placed on their farm team or live roster.
