F. Defense/Specialties:

1) Kickers are separate from special teams. If a kicker scores it will not be credited to the special team

but to the individual kicker.

2) If a position player scores on defense or special teams, his points go to the defense/special team, not

to the individual player.

3) Each owner will draft one NFL Defense/Special Team to be used in the weekly lineup.

4) If your defense/special team is off during a given week, you are allowed to pick another

defense/special team without it counting as one of your weekly moves. One must be dropped the

following week. You can only carry one defense on your roster.

G. Player Transactions:

1) During the season you may claim players off of waivers or sign free agents. The waiver process will

run Tuesdays at midnight. The waiver process will use a worse to first order

for awarding player claims and any duplicate player claims. Players that are dropped will have to go

through the waiver process the next week before becoming free agents, which can then be picked up at

any time. Teams can sign free agents between Wednesday morning and Saturday midnight at any time

without going through the waiver process, and they will be put on your roster immediately.

2) Each team is only allowed 2 claims per week. If your defense is on a bye week you can pick one up and

it will not count as one of your allowed 2 claims.

3) After Week 14 there will be no claims allowed.

H. Trades:

1) Fee is $1 per player or future draft pick.

2) A trade can occur at any time. Who pays the fee must be decided between the owners involved in the

trade.

3) Week 10 is the trade deadline.

I. Lineups:

1) Weekly lineups will need to be entered at least 5 minutes before kick-off before each individual

player's games start for a given week. Once a game starts that individual player is locked in and

cannot be changed.

2) It's your responsibility to enter your lineups, if you do not enter a lineup the previous weeks lineup will

be used. If you enter a lineup that is not legal you will forfeit that game if you win.

3) Signing a substitute defense does not count as one of your weekly moves.

winner based on a tie breaking system.
