I'm starting this thread for people to make rule suggestions.  This thread is not to discuss the merits of these suggestions, I simply want to begin forming a master list of modifications that we can discuss in earnest at a later date.
Fighting Cadavers Date Thu Jan 18 11:44:15 a.m. ET 2007
For example, here's a few I've had bouncing around my head. . .

1.  Reduction of the total number of active roster spots.
2.  Alteration of the playoff structure (either starting earlier or reducing the super bowl to one week.
3.  Expand future trading of draft picks.
4.  Alter method of determining draft order (i.e. lottery)
Astroglide Ninjas Date Thu Jan 18 6:20:24 p.m. ET 2007
Here's some I've been thinking about...

1.  IR only for players on the actual IR
2.  Fix waivers because it sucks currently and discuss instituting blind bid option
3.  Week 17 has become a joke.  Something needs to be done whether it be to end the regular season sooner or making a one-week Super Bowl
4.  Drop active rosters to 18 instead of 20

Hmmm, some interesting proposals, and Getsy is a Napoleon-complex slut.

1.  Reduction of the total number of active roster spots.  this would definitely make people think about their rosters and moves...not bad. see Ninjas 18 proposals
2.  Alteration of the playoff structure (either starting earlier or reducing the super bowl to one week. This is an obvious problem emphasized by bizarre pickups before week 17 during this past Superbowl. I still like a 2-week Bowl, and our current owner total allows us to play the perfect schedule, so unless the NFL expands the season I guess we have to leave it alone
3.  Expand future trading of draft picks. I think that because our keepers are kept for 3 years, trading two years out is a good number as it leaves one year of wtf
4.  Alter method of determining draft order (i.e. lottery) Nah...parody is important and acquired somewhat through the draft....leave it alone

  Here's some I've been thinking about...

1.  IR only for players on the actual IR  I CONCUR
2.  Fix waivers because it sucks currently and discuss instituting blind bid option Waivers have always sucked and this needs to be fixed. Further discussion and thought needed
3.  Week 17 has become a joke.  Something needs to be done whether it be to end the regular season sooner or making a one-week Super Bowl see above
4.  Drop active rosters to 18 instead of 20 I concur

And for the second consecutive year, Spoon wins the award for inability to follow instructions.

Yeah, yeah...I just have to get my thoughts down before they run screaming from my brain, and I don't keep a document on my computer for league rules and ideas, so suck it.

Crazy Getsy rule consideration #1 for 2007:

(Rough Sketches)

FFKL Europa 2007  (NFL Europe begins April 14)

Roster contains any mixture of 10 NFL Europe players.

Starting lineup consists of 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR and 1 TE

Scoring is very simple:
TD Pass 3 points
TD Reception 4 points
TD Rushing 7 points
(could do this by hand)

No free agent moves.

World Bowl winner takes $10 extra for auction

Due to the limited number of teams in NFL Europe, there will be 6 teams in FFKL Europa .

In order to participate, league owners must bid on how many of their taxi squad players they are willing to "designate for FFKL Europa Assignment".  Taxi squad players who are designated can not be activated during the 2007 FFKL season.  (To answer Steve's question before it is asked, a player must be alive in order to be "designated".)

Top bidding teams will participate in the innaugural season.  In the case of a tie, the lowest seeded team according to draft order will participate.

If one of your FFKL Europa players makes an NFL roster in August, you may assign him to your active roster or taxi squad with a $1 3 year keeper salary

No other ownership rights for Europa players after the NFL Europa season ends.  They become undrafted free agents.

Snake style draft with the lowest FFKL seeded team from the previous year picking first.

If a player is already on another team's FFKL taxi squad they are ineligible to be drafted.  However, you can choose your own TS player for your FFKL Europa team.

(Suggestion:  Team names should be some derivative of your FFKL team name:  Barcelona Ninjas. . . whatever, give it that European feel)

Yes, I'm jonesing for some football of any kind.  It's late, but I'm sober dammit.

> Yes, I'm jonesing for some football of any kind. 
> It's late, but I'm sober dammit.

No way you're sober with that suggestion. BTW I bid zero taxi squad players. Basically, I will play if you need an extra but I can't imagine telling people I went out of my way to participate in an NFL Europe Fantasy League (although at this point I think I might enjoy FFKL Europa more than Fantasy Baseball).

Finally, I believe that the Barcelona/Madrid Shawpadres has the right ring and I am bored at work this morning.
