2015 Enactments

[good news, bad news, no news, whatever I can do to keep my mind off Jordy….]
-my subconscious

The good news is that all team managers have checked in with me, so we are all set for 2015.

The bad news is that we lost Reservations for Six. Our 2013 Champ is taking a break – like me and my Ashley Madison account (too much heat right now). With RF6’s departure we are back to the 12-team format we had last year. We will each play each other once, then I will adjust the schedule in Weeks 12 and 13 to mirror what we did last season (see post Schedule for Weeks 12 and 13, dtd November 11, 2014).

I got no news on League Dues from some of you still. What’s the deally yo? I do know how to fix this, and I think this is a good opportunity to introduce a new amendment to The Lombardi Three Constitution. What’s a new year without a new amendment…or three? Peep this.

Here ye, here ye, as League Manager I have set in to motion three (3) new amendments to the Constitution. These amendments permit time for the League Manager to execute the lottery, shape the final draft lineup, establish the first week’s schedule and outline the process for Week’s 12 and 13 should we playing with a 12-team roster.

15.1 – The Ejection Seat: Any team that fails to pay their League Dues by the prescribed deadline* outlined by the League Manager will be ejected from any fixed draft position and will not be allowed to participate in the draft lottery for first overall pick. Said derelict(s) will be repositioned at the bottom of the draft lineup.
*The deadline for League Dues is typically 3 calendar days prior to draft day.

15.2 – Rematch Beeyatch: The first week’s lineup each season will be established based on the results of the previous season. The 1st place finisher will play the 2nd place finisher; the 3rd place finisher will play the 4th place finisher; and so on. If teams have been retired or removed, the standings simply shift up. Any new teams fall to the bottom of the order, similar to the draft standings. Each successive week is randomized by NFL.com.

Week 1 Preview
Money Manziel vs. Eastside Forty-Ounces
White Wes Welkers vs. IJamAllDay
LockinUWL vs. REDSKINS
Packer Cave vs. Air Jordy
Lake Hickory Swallops vs. Bagel Time
Schoolya’gain vs. Tannehill for President

15.3 – Fugazi: (This amendment is only valid by means of a 12-team roster. This amendment is void by means of a 14-team roster.) Once Week 11 concludes the schedule will be manually set to allow for a mini-playoff before the actual playoffs begin. Following the conclusion of Week 11, we will establish the schedule for Weeks 12 and 13 based on the League Standings. For Week 12, we will set it up as follows.

Team 1 vs. Team 7
Team 2 vs. Team 8
Team 3 vs. Team 9
Team 4 vs. Team 10
Team 5 vs. Team 11
Team 6 vs. Team 12

Using the same League Standings after the conclusion of Week 11, we will set up the final Week of the regular season to play your neighbor. This will be a true test of which team best deserves that position in the playoffs. For Week 13, we will set it up as follows.

Team 1 vs. Team 2
Team 3 vs. Team 4
Team 5 vs. Team 6
Team 7 vs. Team 8
Team 9 vs. Team 10
Team 11 vs. Team 12

Lots to digest this post I know. But really, who’s reading this shit anyway? Study hard this weekend. I hear Jordy Nelson is ok, so don’t mess around and not pick him up first round. I got a guy on this inside. Trust me.
