I had a late cancellation.  Here is the deal, we are through
2 rounds of the draft.  The team that is available has picked
Barry Sanders and Mark Clayton.  Not a bad start.  They also
have the first pick in the 3rd round.

The round 3 list is due Friday at noon.  The first one to
respond to this will get the team.  You will have to have
reliable net access for the next two weeks, as we will be
doing at least one round every weekday.

The players that are gone are Sanders, Kelly, Moon, Reed,
Aikman, Thomas, Smith, Lohmiller, L.White, E.Green, Young,
Irvin, Clayton, Hampton, G.Clark, Rypien, N.Anderson,
C.Miller, Elway, Rison, Cunningham, Marino, Rice, H.Walker.

So you have your choice of anybody except the above 24 guys.

So send me your choice with your note saying you want
to play (that is if you want to play).

Here are the rules..................

Ok here are the rules.  There is a $15 fee to join the league
which will help cover my expenses and time in calculating
results every week.  I will hold a team for you until I hear
otherwise, but please let me know one way or the other of
your intentions.

                    FANTASY FOOTBALL RULES
-------------------------------------------------------------
1) All franchise owners shall draft their teams by sending
in draft lists (this will be explained later).
 
2) The draft order shall be randomly determined, and the
order will be reversed in even-numbered rounds.  Each
franchise owner will select 16 players from the following
categories: quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers,
tight ends, and kickers.
 
3) Each franchise owner shall submit a starting lineup of
one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one
tight end, and one kicker to the league commissioner by
Friday at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.  If no lineup is submitted,
it shall be assumed to be the same as the previous week's
lineup.
 
4) Touchdowns shall be worth 6 points, touchdown passes
worth 4 points, field goals worth 3 points, and extra points
count as 1 point.  All scores from 50 or more yards shall
be doubled in value.
 
5) Franchise owners may place a player on the league's
injured reserved list if he is on the NFL's injured reserve
or inactive list, or if he is listed as "Out" on the
NFL's weekly injury report.  Once a player has been
activated by his NFL team or no longer appears as "Out"
on the injury report, he must leave the fantasy injured
reserve list.
 
6) If a player isn't on a fantasy team, he is considered
to be a free agent.  Franchise owners may obtain a free
agent by sending a message to the commissioner.  A player
must also be released or placed on the injured reserve
list to add a free agent.  If two or more owners try
to sign the same free agent, the team that gets him is
the one who sent the earliest message.
 
7) If two or more franchise owners wish to trade players
they may do so by contacting the commissioner.  No trades
shall be permitted after the kickoff of the first NFL
game on November 8th (week 10).
 
8) Any trade may be vetoed by the commissioner or a simple
majority of the owners.  The commissioner's veto may be
overturned by a majority vote.
 
9) The schedule and conference/division alignments shall
shall be prepared by the commissioner.  Depending on
league size, the teams shall play a 13 or 14 week regular
season, with the following 2 or 3 weeks used for the
playoffs.
 
10) Official NFL tie breakers will break ties in record.
 
11) Game ties stand in the regular season, and count as
half a win and half a loss.  For playoff games, coaches
submit "Sudden Death" orders of their eight non-starters,
and should the teams tie, the overtime players are
compared against each other one at a time.  The next
tie breaker is total offensive yardage of the six starting
field players, then total distance of all scores.



***********THERE WILL BE NO FEE BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED
           THIS TEAM FILLED QUICK************************
