Rule changes effective with the 2004 Regular Season
(adopted 12/9/03)
- To emphasize the value of defense, scoring
change will give Defense/Special Team points for turnovers (fumble
recovery, interception) and sacks. All events are will be worth 1 point. (Vote was 5-0)
- All teams would be required to carry a full
roster of active players at all times. For instance: if the NFL puts a
player on IR for the year, that player will not be playing in the NFL the
balance of the NFL season. Therefore, that player would have to be
replaced by a player that is currently active. Teams are still allowed to
carry 1 player on IR to protect that player for the team owner. (Vote was

- RB, REC, QB yardage bonus is changed to add 1
point for each 50 yard multiple over the basic bonus level. (For instance,
RB with 180 rushing yards would earn 3 pts for the 1st 100 yds,
plus 1 point for 150 yds. If he would have gone over 200 yds, there would
have been another point awarded.) (Vote was 5-0)
- New Team Owners entering league will be required
to pay full league fee at draft meeting for 1st year only.
- Team not submitting lineup is subject to $5 fine for 1st offense increasing by $5 for each succeeding offense.
