Mercy Rule

Desperate times require desperate measures and this Bench Swap experiment is going to turn in to an all-out war if we don’t implant a mercy rule. I never expected us to dish out 5 swappies at once. Being that we haven’t come across this scenario yet, I am enacting an emergency amendment to the Constitution. As someone with an active Bench Swap, I believe this is the right thing to do to preserve equality, keep it competitive, keep the focus on coaching (not freebies), and not inadvertently screw over one of our leaguemates. As much as I would like us all to hit RGIII’s Company over and over and over and over again (dude put up a violent, record-breaking 280.90 this week), it would potentially ruin an otherwise merited winning season. Same goes for anyone in the league. That said…Here ye, here ye, as League Commissioner I am enacting the following amendment to The Lombardi Three Constitution to take effect immediately.

13.4.2 – Unkle!:  No team can be hurt by a Bench Swap more than once in a season. Once a Bench Swap is executed against a particular team, no other team may execute another Bench Swap against them.
