2007 Season League News:
Potential Rule changes for the
2007 season (starting in 2008) to be discussed in the preseason: 1)
A team choosing to use the 3-4 defensive card must announce before the season
which side their MLB(s) will play LILB or RILB and may not swap unless due to
injury, a team choosing to use the 4-3 defensive card must announce before the
season which side their NT-only(s) will play LDT or RDT and may not swap unless
due to injury, the purpose of this is to avoid swapping left/right at will
during a game (unless due to injury), currently a player rated at RILB may not
play LILB (unless announced before the season) but there is no such restriction
on a MLB and this rule would close that loophole; 2) Remove the tie-breaker
clause regarding record against #1 seed; 3) players rated at KR or PR may be
cut (optionally) before the rookie/free-agent draft and for any of those
players drafted in that draft the cutting team will obtain an additional draft
pick at the end of that same round in the following season (to a highest of a 7th
round pick) unless the player is drafted by the same team, for example if team
AAA cuts LK/PR J.Smith and J.Smith
is drafted by any other team in the 7th round of the immediately
following draft then team AAA will get an additional pick at the end of round 7
in next seasons draft; 4) punt returners who had
fewer than 15 total attempts (punt returns plus fair catches) and are designated
by Strat as a #2 PR and have a 5.0 or greater yard
average on the card (add up weighted yardage with TD counting as 75 and divide
by 36) may not be used as a #1 PR (this affects only 1 player for 2007 and that
player is un-owned); 5) use the good run / average pass defensive card (instead
of just the good/good card) for the first half of the season or the entire
season; 6) FS and SS may swap just as LCB/RCB with the same restrictions (e.g.,
can't swap a FS to SS and a SS to FS in the same season); in other words, you
may announce before the season that a FS is becoming a SS or vice-versa; 7)
punters, kickers, punt returners and kick returners who are cut during a draft and then picked up
later in the same draft provide compensation to the coach who made the cut with
the compensation being an additional draft pick at the end of one round lower
in the following seasons draft (to a maximum of a 6th round pick
for a K or a 7th round pick for P, PR, or KR); 8) possibly others
in any case these will be discussed on the leagues forum.
