Rule changes for the 2007
season (starting in 2008): 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 season’s 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 entire season (not including
playoffs which are unchanged, the home team uses the good pass defensive card);
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 – this also
modifies the roster requirements so that 1 FS, 1 SS, and 1 S are required; 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 season’s draft (to a maximum of a 6th
round pick for a K or a 7th round pick for P, PR, or KR); 8) the
championship game no longer has any home field advantage, both teams will now
use the good run defensive card and the average pass defensive card; 9)
beginning in the 2008 season (in year 2009) the QB limits will be modified so that
under 100 NFL attempts (instead of under 50 as it is now) will not be able to
play in a game except due to an injury or blowout.

seeing the fairness of this to new league member Larry/ATL so per
procedure Ed notified both that the issue will be looked at and then explained
to Larry his reasoning why this appears at first glance to be clearly
one-sided in favor of Dennis/SEA as Burleson is a clearly better PR and KR
and will also be getting according to his coach Holmgren about 50% of the
snaps with the first string in Seattle while Welker is a 3rd WR
for New England; Ed asked Larry per procedure whether he would still like
to go through with the deal and if so Ed would have brought it up to an
immediate TRC vote but then Dennis and Larry agreed to the replacement
trade below instead)

Rule change for the 2006
season (finalized August 2007): If a
team is missing one PR or one KR then an 8th round pick (or earlier) must be
used to fill the spot; if two spots are needed then a 7th and an 8th round (or
earlier) pick must be used; etc. A coach may choose to take a carded player or
be put into the "lottery" below just by announcing PR lottery or KR
lottery. No player rated at PR or KR may be taken after round 8 unless there is
no-one stuck in that lottery (for example, if there are any coaches in the PR
lottery then no player rated at PR may be taken in the draft after the 8th
round). After the draft any PR and KR
still not taken (which may be one or two or not even any) will be put into a
pool along with enough of the very worst previous season PR and KR cards as
needed so that every team will get what they need. Each PR or KR card added to
a team will count towards the 53 roster max.
For example, if after round 8 there are two teams which each need one KR
and one team which needs two KR then that's 4 KR's
needed; if there's 1 KR remaining from the draft then that would mean the 3
worst previous season KR cards would be added into the KR lottery. Then I would
determine randomly which team KR spot would be filled with which KR card.

regarding usage limits, the additional situations in which FB's

- 9/4/2006: Trade disallowed (disallowed 9/5 by TRC

4-5-5 with a high 15.3 average who was a very high NFL draft pick 7th
overall just two years ago and is solidly DET’s
#1 WR Roy Williams is worth 15-20 pick of the first round which makes the
49th pick of the draft a clearly one-sided trade) – BAL
receives SE 4-5-5 Roy Williams; GB receives BAL #3

Williams and BAL #2; BAL receives DET #1 (#15)

Joe, Tim, Wayne, and TJ voting to allow) – OAK receives DT 5-3 Jeff Zgonina and ATL #8; ATL receives NE #4; note that Zgonina was a 5-3 in the preview but actually is a

Tillman; KC receives RCB 4 David Macklin and NO #10
- 9/9/2006: Trade disallowed (disallowed 9/11 by TRC
5-0 with Wayne, Joe, Ron, Ed, and TJ voting to disallow; Tim abstained due
to a potential conflict of interest with his having offered a trade for
Webster; and TJ has not yet responded; to summarize the majority opinion
Webster is a 4-rated CB starting on a good defense and is not very old at
29 years old and therefore has decent value while Pass has a poor running
card with a very high fumble chance and is a 0-rated blocker at FB so the
card has little value plus he has a serious injury and is on PUP and thus
Pass has little value overall, thus the TRC has decided that the deal is
clearly one-sided) – NYJ receives RCB 4 Jason Webster and DAL #7; DAL
receives FB Patrick Pass and DAL #10
- 9/10/2006: Trade (approved 9/11 by TRC 4-0 with Ed,
Wayne, Joe, and TJ voting to allow) – TB receives DE 0-6 Al Wallace and RG

Joe, Wayne, Tim, and TJ voting to allow) – NO receives DE 4-1 Marco
Coleman; DAL receives LB 0-0 Grant Irons
- 9/11/2006: Trade (approved 9/11 by TRC 5-0 with Ed,
Joe, Wayne, Tim, and TJ voting to allow) – DAL receives DT 4-5 Larry Tripplett; NYJ receives NT 5-2 Anthony Adams
- 9/11/2006: Trade disallowed (disallowed 9/12 by TRC
4-1 with Wayne, Tim, Ed, and Joe voting to disallow and TJ later voting to
allow; to summarize the TRC view Rattay is a
viable backup QB who is still fairly young and his NFL career passing
stats are approximately NFL average and he is fairly likely to get a shot
against at QB’ing a team, in other words he has
value beyond just being a roster filler; Mike Green on the other hand is
barely worth the last spot on a roster as he was not at all a success in
Chicago and is just hanging onto a spot in Seattle) – NYJ receives QB Tim Rattay; OAK receives DB 0 Mike Green
- 9/12/2006: Trade (approved within 2 hours 9/12 by
TRC 5-0 with Ed, Joe, Tim, TJ, and Wayne voting to allow) – NYJ receives
NT 5-0 Jason Fisk; BAL receives RDT 4-2 Tim Anderson
- 9/12/2006: Trade disallowed (disallowed 9/13 by TRC
6-0 with Ed, Ron, TJ, Tim, Wayne, and Joe voting to disallow; to summarize
the TRC view Rattay is a viable backup QB who is
still fairly young and his NFL career passing stats are approximately NFL
average and he is fairly likely to get a shot against at QB’ing a team, in other words he has value beyond just
being a roster filler; Kenny Wright on the other hand is barely worth the
last spot on a roster as he is a career 0 who failed in his shot at
starting in Jacksonville and now is just a 29 year old nickel back and the
10th round pick is worth very little) – NYJ receives QB Tim Rattay; OAK receives RCB 0 Kenny Wright and NYJ #10
- 9/13/2006: Trade (9/14 Tim called for a vote on
this deal; approved 9/15 by TRC with Ed, Wayne, and Joe voting to allow

that Phillips is worth a 4th or perhaps a 3rd round pick but the majority felt that
the deal was not “clearly one-sided”) – JAX receives SS 4 Jermaine
Phillips; CHI receives JAX #2

Letter F = 21-24 = WAS/Brian
Letter G = 25-28 = MIN/Bernie
Letter H = 29-32 = JAX/Brian
Letter I = 33-36 = NE/Mike
Letter J = 37-40 = TEN/John
Letter K = 41-44 = NO/Tom
Letter L = 45-48 = PHI/Jamie
If the Mega Ball number for
that day is within one of these ranges then the person with that letter gets
the first pick in odd numbered rounds of the expansion draft. If the
mega ball bonus is not within one of these ranges (i.e. it's 49-52) then we
will instead use the Mass Millions Bonus Number from 8/23 and we will not at
all use the Mega Ball Bonus Number whatsoever.
The person with the letter which
contains a number closest to the Mega Ball Number will receive the second pick
of odd numbered rounds of the expansion draft. The third pick will be
determined by the letter containing a number second-closest to the Mega Ball
Number, and so on.
The letters A and L will roll
over to each other in each direction so that, for example, if the Mega
Ball Number is 2 then A gets the first pick, L gets the second pick, B gets the
third pick, K gets the fourth pick, and so on. In this way those who get
more "extreme" letters such as A, B, K, and L will not be at a
disadvantage and there will be no letters with any advantage.
Here are further examples:
* Mega Ball Number = 47 means odd
numbered rounds of the expansion draft = LAKBJCIDHEGF
* Mega Ball Number = 22 means odd
numbered rounds of the expansion draft = FEGDHCIBJAKL
* Mega Ball Number = 50 means we
don't use it at all and we use the 8/23 Mass Millions Bonus Number instead;
Mass Millions Bonus Number = 35 means odd numbered rounds of the expansion
draft = IJHKGLFAEBDC
Even numbered rounds of the
rookie/free-agent draft will proceed with the same order (for new league
members who will all draft approximately in the middle of each round) as odd
numbered rounds of the expansion draft.
Even numbered rounds of the expansion draft and odd numbered rounds
of the rookie/free-agent draft will proceed in reverse order of odd numbered
rounds of the expansion draft.
In other words, the expansion
draft is serpentine as is the rookie/free-agent draft. The person getting
the last pick in the first round of the expansion draft will get the first pick
of the second round as well as the highest pick (of expansion teams) in the first
round of the rookie/free-agent draft.
If someone decides not to
participate in the draft after all then his draft spot will be given to the
next person joining the league. If there is a spot open by the time of
the draft then an un-owned team will draft for that team and will draft at the
end of each expansion draft round.
If there are two or more spots
open when someone new wants to join then that person(s) will be given one of
these open draft order spots at random.
For example, if the person with letters B, E, and J drop out before the
draft and I'm able to find two others to take their place then those two others
will take two of B, E, and J while the third spot will be drafted by an
un-owned team at the bottom of each round.
Result: The mega ball was a 46 which meant
LKAJBICHDGEF which means 1) PHI/Jamie, 2) NO/Tom, 3) KC/Joe, 4) TEN/John, 5)
BAL/Bill, 6) NE/Mike, 7) SEA/Jeff, 8) JAX/Brian, 9) NYJ/Jamie, 10) MIN/Bernie,
11) GB/Vinny, 12) WAS/Brian

to DAL for WR J.Jurevicius. Standard procedure in year one is to vote on
whether the trade should be allowed as outlined in the Constitution. Ed, Rick, and Paul voted to allow this trade
while Wayne
voted to disallow the trade (with all other league members not casting a
vote). The trade went into effect after
game 4.
The following Draft List
spreadsheet contains a list of every single player rated or given a card by Strat in the 2002 season.
Each player’s rating and card info is indicated as is each player’s 2003
NFL status (such as DENstarterLG, information as of
8/27/2003), age, and ratings from last year.
The following three
files are combined into a single zip file:

The following is a brief history
of my Strat-O-Matic experiences which may help you
see that this league is in for the long term.
I’m 40 years old and began playing Strat
baseball in about 1980. I was in a Strat baseball league from about 1981 through 1991.
I began playing Strat football in 1986 and joined a league almost
immediately. This league was and still
is a draft keeper league called Oops (its web page was at http://home.earthlink.net/~byrens/oops.htm
until the web page creator left the league in 2002) and the league is now in
something like its 31st season.
In 1996 I left the area of the league and had to reluctantly leave the
league (I stayed in the league an extra full season by flying to the league’s
area and playing a bunch of games over three weekends but that was way too
tiring). If you’re in the Southern California area I recommend checking out the
Oops league.
I began playing Strat basketball (board game) I think in the late 80’s and
played season replays on the computer game in the early 90’s. In approximately 1995 I joined a start-up
league and helped shape some of the initial rules and then when the next year
the Commissioner left the league I took over and the league has grown to 15+
members and always looking for more. The
league web page is at http://www.somiba.com
and if you’re interested in that league let me know.
