Rule Changes Reminder

In case you missed this back in March, we had three rule change proposals.

Proposed scoring change: QB sacks from -1 to -0.5 points. (Requires 8 votes to change.)

Eight people voted to change QB sacks to -0.5 points, therefore, this rule change proposal passes.

RESULT: Beginning in 2016, QB sacks will count as -0.5.

Proposed scoring change: narrow the range of defensive scores. (Requires 8 votes to change.)

Nine people voted to keep the current scoring system.

RESULT: Defensive scoring remains as +13 | +7 | +4 | +1 | -1 | -4 | -7.

Proposed lineup change: Change to more flex positions.

Currently, we start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, and 1 flex. Requires 10 votes to change. (If 10 or more people vote for the non-current options combined, but neither on its own gets 10, I'll likely send out a follow-up survey.)

Five people voted to keep the current starting requirements for RB/WR/TE, so we will not be changing the rule.

RESULT: We will continue to start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 flex.

In summary, the only change is that QB sacks will now count as -0.5.

Closing Thoughts

Start expecting keeper emails in July (as always, first-to-worst).

Yours always,
