By-Laws

The divisional ranking tie-breaker method. Note RTsports doesn’t track this properly, therefore this is our official tie-breaker method. 

1) Overall winning percentage

2) Season to date power ranking. (What your record would be against the whole league every week).**Note on this one " the website uses some formula based on strength of schedule or something. We track this offline and apply it at season end if necessary. 

3) Overall points

4) Head-to-head win percentage

5) Head-to-head total points

6) (If it some how comes to this) Last seasons rankings in reverse. (Worst team last year wins this tie-breaker against everyone)

*************************************************************
Players may not be added directly to your IR. If you choose to pick up a player who is eligible for the IR you must make room on your bench until he is either eligible to play or you drop him. This does not apply to trades.

************************************************************
Slashing: You may place a "slash" message on the league message board to protect you from lineup surprises.

If by some chance you forgot to slash for a player that you only had 1 possible substitution choice (maybe you had 1 kicker on the bench and your starter pulled a hammy in warmups) then there would be an implied slash, as the spirit of the rule is to make sure you have a chance to start only players that are playing.

************************************************************


If your not sure about any part of these just ask. If not and I have to make a ruling - I will probably rule against what you want (Just ask Randy)
