Results of Offseason Rule Change Balloting

We only had seven owners submit ballots, as two owners ignored their TFFL Constitutional duty and forfeited their votes. How un-American! If you did vote, grab yourself an ice-cold beer, pat yourself on the back and study up ...

Call this the Steve Hodges Rule. No more will our Tech Bowl winner also get to pick No. 1 in the following year's draft.

MOTION PASSES!

Word has it Ray Lewis was going to kill some people if this didn't pass. Calm down Ray, we're with you. Just don't expect an invitation to my Super Bowl party.

Here's how the new scale looks:
0-2 points allowed: 10 TFFL points
3-6 points allowed: 5 points
7-10 points allowed: 2 points

Ditch the combined yardage system and for one that rewards players for each "chunk of yards" they get.

Chuck all the old yardage bonus systems out the window. Here's how it works now:

  • The first 200 yards passing a player gets is worth 2 points. Every additional 50-yard chunk is worth 1 point.
  • The first 50 yards rushing or receiving a player gets is worth 1 point. Every additional 25-yard chunk is worth 1 point. Note that this scale does not combine rushing and receiving yards; the two are separate.

Now our players are really going to have to suck it up in order to get a goose egg on Sundays!

Instead of drafting a team defense, managers pick a team defense for each week.

MOTION FAILS MISERABLY

It's ideas like this that make me want to revisit the top five worst rule suggestions ever made:
5. Eliminate the Tight End position
4. Pick any team defense you want each week
3. Force draft dodgers to use their first- and third-round picks on a kicker and a defense
2. Abolish the ban on trading beaver pelts for players
1. Allow each team a Monday Night Mulligan

Congrats, Todd, you've got two on the list now!
