The Wild and Crazy Meeting

1. A preliminary meeting will customarily be held 3 to 4 weeks prior to the draft. The following are topics of the meeting:

a) Payment of fees, (fees are due at this time).

b) Discussion of possible rule amendments.

c) Discussion of Scoring changes or additions.

d) Other miscellaneous problems that may have occurred the previous year.

e) Discussion of whom is the most drunk at the end of the meeting, and bets on whom will be the most drunk at the draft!

All who wish to participate and have a voice on decisions that affect the league are welcome. If you do not attend the meeting, your money still needs to be paid by this time.

The Wild and Crazy Draft

(The following section of selecting the draft order is typically done prior to the draft date, possibly at the initial meeting).

1. A random lottery will be used to determine the order of the draft.

The process is:

A) Each team name is initialized in pencil on a piece of currency.

B) All 12 pieces of currency are identical, (all $1.00 bills, or $5.00 bills, etc.).

C) Each piece of currency is folded evenly and equally and put into an opaque container to insure consistency of each team name to be drawn. This insures complete fairness of the draw.

D) Each name will then be drawn by a bystander outside of the league, (if available), again, to insure complete fairness of the draw.

E) Each name chosen will choose their team in the order their name is drawn. For instance, the first team name drawn is the "JAWBREAKERS". This team will select first, and so on.

2. The draft will proceed 1-12 in round 1, 12-1 in the second round, and so on for 15 rounds. So the first team that picked a player will also be the last team to pick.

NOTE: If you leave the draft early without making all selections, you will not be entitled to select a player until the first supplemental draft AND you may be sacrificing some of the benefits that pertain to injured players.

3. Only 1 minute is allowed for each pick during the first 5 rounds. 2 minutes will be allowed for each pick thereafter.

4. Any NFL player that is unsigned (to an NFL team), as of the draft date will not be allowed to be drafted.

5. The teams remain fixed until the supplemental drafts, except for IR's, (players put on injured reserve by their NFL teams), which will be discussed later.

6. THE BONUS POSITION - This is an extended pick that will help owners to bolster their running game, extend their receiving corps, or use as a third string QB to the teams that may kill off QB's in a single season. Once this position has been added to the ranks, (for instance, selected as a fourth RB), the team must remain with the same team format at each position for the first seven weeks of the season. ¹After the eighth week (the second supplemental), a new Bonus position may be selected. The previous Bonus position must be released.

The Wild and Crazy Supplemental Draft

1. ²A supplemental draft will be held after weeks 4, 8, and 12 of play in order to adjust team personnel.

2. The team with the worst record will select first. The team with the 2nd worst record will select second, and so on.

3. Trades may be made during this time. (Trade options are discussed later)

4. If for any reason you cannot be present for the supplemental drafts, the league offers two options:

1. Have a substitute come in your place, or,

2. Have each pick individually sealed in envelopes, stating which envelope (player) is first , then second, etc.

5. If the preceding two processes are not followed, you will be disqualified from that supplemental draft. Each team owner really needs to be present if at all possible, and the league should not have to be responsible for selecting an owners team personnel. If you have any questions about the understanding of this rule, feel free to ask the commissioners.

The Wild and Crazy Rules of Play

1. From the team, the weekly roster will consist of the following:

1 QUARTERBACK

2 RUNNING BACKS

2 PASS RECEIVERS

1 KICKER

1 DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS

1 SACK MAN

1. Weeks 1-14 will be the standard season.

2. Weeks 15, 16, and 17 will be used for the play-offs.

3. The top 7 winning teams will be in the playoffs. The winners will consist of:

3 - Division leaders

3 - 2nd place Division leaders

1 - Wild Card -- Determined by record. If there is a tie, total points will determine the tiebreaker.

2. A weekly starting roster must be filled out and turned into the commissioners by 12:00 PM noon every Sunday prior to game time. The exception to this would be if a Thursday night game was played, then a roster must be turned in by game time that evening. The roster sheet will allow a slot for every player and a slot next to each in case a player is injured and might not play. (More on the IR stuff later). If a roster sheet is not used, a FAX, E-mail or recorded message by game time is accepted.

3. If a sheet is not turned in, the players selected to start the week before will be the next week's starters.

NOTE: If you call in Sunday and the answering machine gives an "after 12:00" time, and a bluff is tried, (for instance, saying over the phone that it is only 11:30), these selections will be void. It is a good idea to call Saturday, or even earlier.

4. Sit back and TRY to relax and let your players do their thing. The scores will be totaled and delivered somewhere in mid-week for all to see.

The IR Rules

Injured Player(IP):

An ³IP (injured player) replacement is a player that is not on a WBCWFFL team, not injured, and is signed by an NFL team. This player replaces only a temporarily injured player.

You may acquire an IP player if any of the following are true:

A) All the players are used up at that position on your FFL team. For instance, if you have 3 RB's and two are injured, you may select an IP and play the remaining RB. If you have 4 RB's and two are injured, you must play the two remaining RB's on your roster;

B) If your back-up player is not starting with his NFL team and your starter is injured. (A player must be identified the week before as being turned into a bench warmer. Otherwise, it must be printed in the USATODAY as being knocked down to a backup); But If this non-starting player plays, you MUST use his points.

C) The back-up player is on a BYE week; or

D) If there are not enough back-up players to fill the starting weekly roster by injury or BYE week.

¹¹ E) A player may be permanently replaced if the player is slated by the USATODAY to be out 4 or more weeks. (Exception: refer to IR rule #1)

These go into effect ONLY if the owner did not pick, for instance, 2 QB's in the same division that will be on a BYE at the same time. The S.O.L. rule comes into play here.

This IP player may be kept up until the supplemental draft time approaches. At this time, the player must be relinquished and returned back into the pool of players to be selected during the supplemental draft. UNCONDITIONAL!

Once an IP position has been filled by a temp player, the owner cannot replace this player with another player. The owner must keep his selection until a player from that position on his team returns.

IR rules

1) ⁹During the first 4 weeks until after the first supplemental draft, the only IR replacement an owner can make is the owner’s 1^st round draft pick. This will be labeled with a ‘1’ in front of the player’s name. In other words, the teams are locked except for an injury to the 1s^tround draft pick; then

2) An IR replacement may be obtained at any time, free of charge, and is permanently kept by that team owner after the first supplemental draft if a player is slated by the USAToday to be IR.

TRADES/WAIVERS

1. Teams may trade players, release players, or sign free agents every 4 weeks after the draft has taken place until after week 12. Each pick will cost $1.00 each. $5.00 is the cap, (Each player cost $1.00 up to five players, but will cost nothing after five). Transactions (trades), between players will be $1.00 from each owner, (total of $2.00).

NO unsigned players will be allowed to be traded between owners or picked up from the waive wire. They must be dropped or maintained on that owner's team

2. Transactions must be finalized, communicated, and approved by the commissioners in time for the weekly lineup deadline. NO transactions are final until the Commissioner's final approval.

3. All transactions must be completed by the 13th week of play.

TRANSACTION COSTS

1. $1.00 per trade up to maximum $5.00.

2. The money for trades goes to the commissioners.

3. No charge for signing a free agent for a player placed on injured reserve.

SCORING NOTES:

The ERIC METCALF RULE - Any special teams score supersedes that of an individual player. Therefore, if a roster player scores on a special teams play (fake field goals and Eric Metcalf included), the points are awarded to the special teams only. This also applies to the 2-point conversion also.

The DALLAS RULE: You may be allowed to pick up a player if he is signed with an NFL team and is not seriously injured due to brawling or gunshot wound, is due to be released on parole during the season, AND if you have the nerve!

⁵The JERRY RICE RULE: The end of the season is the end of the 14 weeks of our league’s season. If a player is declared “out for the season” by the USATODAY, it stands for the NFL season. This player cannot be picked up for our playoffs.

Rule Change Reference Page

August 8, 1998:

¹ Allowed to change Bonus position halfway through the season. Originally could not change Bonus position.

²Supplemental drafts were changed from weeks 3, 6, 9, and 12 to weeks 4, 8, and 12.

³ To define the difference between a (temporarily) injured player and a player put on injured reserve (IR).

⁴ This new rule allows a team to pick up an IR replacement temporarily instead of being forced to take the player permanently.

⁵ Jerry Rice was picked up and used for our playoffs when he should not have been picked. By the time our season ended Rice was still obtained through IR.

⁶ An extra $5.00 was added to total fee to pay the division winners $20.00 each.

⁷Point structure for defense added: defenses that limit offenses to so many points (0-3 and 4-7).

⁸ Point structure added for extra points to players who excel.

⁹ Installed to allow a player injured over a period of 6 or more weeks to be immediately replaced on a team to allow an equal opportunity to owners to be more competetive in the short term.

¹⁰ Money was shifted to a new all time high of 100 dollars per season nulling rule change #6.

¹¹ Ruling was made to offer an alternative to deciding to replace a player at any particular time.
