If the NFL cancels mid-season, we return all money except for any Highest Week Totals won prior to the cancellation. That total will be divided between all 10 of us. (i.e.- if we make it 5 weeks @ $15 p/w, total of $75 payout, each of us would pay $7.50 of the $50 dues).
If they cancel after our regular season but during playoffs, we pay out every category that has qualified and return the money that hasn’t (i.e- cancel in week 15, we pay out all regular season categories and worst record/fewest points.. We return the money for playoffs) Whoever has the best regular season record (tie breaker Pts for) would be declared the 2020 Champion. No money for that, but the trophy and glory.

During 2020, something unprecedented may happen. An NFL team may have to forfeit a game due to COVID. That would affect all potential players from 2 teams. NFL rules state the opposing team would automatically win 2-0. If that is the case and you have starting players who lock then don’t play, or if an individual player is scratched after lock due to COVID, we may want a contingency plan.
 
Option "Swap In”: If players don’t play due to COVID AFTER they lock for the week in a starting lineup, they will be replaced with the highest projected bench player that can fill that spot. If you don’t have a bench player that can fill that spot (i.e- QB) then we will try to manually move your player to IR so you can grab a last minute replacement off waivers. No promises on the second part. Contingent on quickly communicating with the Commish during the game slot when that player should be playing and what yahoo allows us to do.

VOTE 7: "Swap In" Players After Locked
Yes, I want Swap In Players option
No, tough luck. If players are scratched after they are locked in starting lineup, no change and they receive 0 points.
Can't Keep 1st Rd Draft Picks *Would go into effect 2021 - (Non-COVID related)
