The commissioner holds the tie-breaking vote on any decisions, which require a vote; all votes require a majority approval in order to pass.

III. PLAYER DRAFT AND TEAM ROSTERS PLAYER DRAFT

The offensive players to be drafted are as follows:

Four (4) Running Backs

One flex player will be selected by each Franchise Owner. A flex player can consist of a running back, wide receiver or tight end.
Prior to or upon arrival at the draft all Franchise Owners will draw for the draft order. This will be done on a blind draw basis. The draft order will be 1 to 12 in the first round and 12 to 1 in the second round. The order will continue on an alternating basis until all teams have filled their respective rosters. Each owner will have two minutes to make his selection. If you fail to pick in the allotted time you will be passed over until the completion of the draft.
The league consists of three divisions (East, West and Central), the divisions are set based on draft position.
Division assignment is as follows:
| Division | Draft Position |
| East | 1-4 |
| West | 5-8 |
| Central | 9-12 |
IV. STARTING LINEUPS
Each Franchise will submit a starting lineup each week prior to the kickoff of the first game of the NFL week. The cutoff time for starting lineups will be announced at the draft. (Current cutgoff is noon on Sunday. If games for the week are played prior to Sunday, you must have your player in the lineup prior to the game he is starting in.)
A starting lineup must consist of the following players:

Two (2) Running Backs
Two (2) Wide Receivers
One (1) Tight End
One (1) Place Kicker

All Franchise Owners are required to keep a full and active 17-player roster (15 Payers and 2 Defensive and Special Teams) at all times. The league office will not accept a starting lineup from any Franchise Owner who is not in roster compliance. Failure to comply with the roster and starting lineup guidelines will result in an automatic loss for that Franchise.
