I know that I suggested exactly this to Greg, that there should be a separate section in the official rules listing any rules changes from the prior year. Many teams last year did not know about the Top 10% rule, where you can finish 3rd or worse in your league and still make the playoffs. It was buried deep within the rules, and a lot of returning teams were unaware of its inclusion.

We can't expect Greg to remember all of our requests. However, by the same token, the message board regulars often have a hard time remembering what rules changes actually HAVE taken place. Perhaps we'll all get on the same page eventually...

I understand what you are saying about the rule GG, but just in case, to cover your butt, why didn't you have West in the flex and Morris as RB1? I have West on my main team and did this just in case he didn't play. I was then able to put either KRob or Buckhalter in my flex position, instead of being limited to just Buckhalter. I know the rule change was talked about, but didn't think it was ever implemented. ANOTHER REASON WHY THERE NEEDED TO BE A LINK ON THE WEBSITE THAT CONTAINED ALL 2006 RULE CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've been very cautious and have been using the flex in this way for this exact reason. The system is clearly not alowing a full out swap once games start - and it's been that way for four weeks now.

When a guy is listed as questionable on all injury reports to start with there's no reason not to have him in the flex spot to start with.

I've asked STATS to give us more flexibility with that for 2007 and they are going to do that, but it won't be finished in time for this week. It's my fault on this as I didn't request this change after 2006 and thus it wasn't part of any rules change for this season. I, like you and others, forgot about this after it was brought up by 3INT last year. Once STATS has this finished, we will e-mail all NFFC owners and let them know that the players in your Flex spot have more flexibility than they do now.

Any other requests?

How ironic is it that we are currently discussing FACT and OPINION in my 7th grade English class.

FACT: BillyWaz has scored more points than Snake in 4 weeks of play in the Snake Classic.

FACT: Had BillyWaz played Snake in ANY of the first 3 weeks of the season, he would have defeated him in "haead to head" play.

FACT: Snake is neither a Westbrook owner (in the NFFC) nor does he have any opinions to improve the NFFC, so WHY DOES HE CONTINUE TO HIJACK THESE THREADS?????

OPINION: the better team was rewarded in Week 4 of the Snake Classic.

PLEASE DON'T HIJACK THIS THREAD!!!!!

Your gonna **** Greg off!
