	Any dramatic rule changes will go to a league wide vote that would require a simple majority. A drastic change to the KSL rule book would require a 2/3 majority vote. The difference between the two would be a dramatic change would be eliminating a player position and a drastic change would be changing the amount of teams that make the playoffs. Any minor changes can be done by the commissioner in conjunction with another owner so long as it is not collusion. An example of this would be the commissioner consulting owners to change how points are done. This is something that must be done prior to the draft and explicitly stated in a post to the league. If there is any serious confusion between a drastic and dramatic change, we will hold a vote for what it is. A simple majority will decide the difference. ~~[[Wal-Mart Award]]~~		Any dramatic rule changes will go to a league wide vote that would require a simple majority.

	Rule changes cannot happen midseason without every active owner voting in favor of said rule change. If, for example, the commissioner accidentally had points for PPR at 2 instead of 1, then this would require every owner to vote in favor of switching it. Even if 1 owner voted against this, then the rule stands for that year. If the commissioner notices an oversite prior to games being played, then he may change it without any vote but must tell owners it had been changed and why.

	Sometime before the draft the schedule is created with that years teams. The current format is to have randomly generated divisions. After each year KSL will rotate some owners into new divisions. This will be done to create new rivalries and to keep divisions important. Divisional winners are awarded the top playoff seed and therefore are very important to win. In some rare cases, the 4th seed may have a better record than a 3rd seed. Even when this happens, the divisional winner is still awarded the top seed and the 4th place team will need to do better next year.

	During the regular season, no changes will be made to the point structure ever. Any changes to the point system must be done before the draft so there is no chance of cheating to win. The Trade Deadline will always be before the start of '''Week 8'''. Many teams will be set to take the playoffs whereas the bottom teams know if they have a chance.

	Trading of draft picks is legal but it cannot be any picks higher than the 6th round. The first 5 rounds are untradeable. If a team chooses to trade away their players for draft picks, they have every right to do so to prepare for the following season.		Trading of draft picks is legal but it cannot be any picks higher than the 6th round. The first 5 rounds are untradeable. If a team chooses to trade away their players for draft picks, they have every right to do so to prepare for the following season. Draft pick trades are limited to only having 2 extra picks in rounds 6-10 and only 1 extra pick per round. This means you can have a 6th and 7th round pick but not 2 extra 6th rounders. You can technically trade any of your own picks for higher picks, so long as you only have 2 extra picks from another team(s) and only 1 extra pick per round. For example, you could have an extra 6, 7, 8 but you must trade away you 9 or 10th when trading. For rounds 11-end, you can have as many extra picks as you would like.

	If an owner quits the league before the season starts, KSL will attempt to give the team to a new owner. If we are unable to find one, then the commissioner will run the team to the best of his ability and hand off duties to the co-commissioner if they face each other. No trades can be made with the dummy team. If an owner quits part way through the season, the commissioner will ask the owner stay on but if he refuses, KSL will leave the team as is including injured players and bye weeks. If that owners team makes the playoffs, then he will still be left as is. In the unlikely event the absentee team wins, then they would be awarded an engraving on the cup but the commissioner would hold onto the trophy until a new winner is crowned.
