Four Star Franchise Football Constitution
	League Established August 1996
I	The draft will be held on the second full weekend after the fourth of July.
	No Four Star owner may draft for another.
	A person may only draft for one team throughout each draft.
II	All owners have veto power when changes are proposed to this rule, expansion, new owners, rules changes outside
	of draft weekend, reducing roster sizes, reducing the number of players/defenses protected from the draft,
	drastic changes in scoring, changes to roster positions or starting line-ups, and in all matters that
	would change first place being award to the team with the most "win points" overall.
III	Any non-vetoable change to the constitution shall require the consent of 70% of all franchises.
IV	The schedule for each year will be determined by the draft order for that year, according to the
	12 team draft grid posted on the E*OFFICE homepage.
V	The season will begin with the first kick-off of week one and end with the completion of
	the regular season. If fewer than 10 games are completed the 2020 season will not count.  Only skins and pizza fund
	will be collected.
VI	Each week each team will face one other team.  The team with the most "game points" will win
	the match-up and earn one "win point".  The losing team will receive zero "win points".
	In the case of a tie in "game points" each team will receive half a "win point".
	The order of finish will be decided by "win points", from most to least. Ties will be broken by total points.
	If two or more teams have the same number of "win points" and "game points" a coin flip will break the tie.
VII	The reward schedule
	1st place - $120 ($90 in expansion years) plus transaction money collected

	5th place- $10
	6th place- exempt from transaction fees
	Teams finishing in the top five will be exempt from entry and transaction fees.
	In the event of a tie, the team with the most "game points" will be the winner, if teams are
	still tied a flip of the coin will decide the winner.
VIII	Seasons with an odd number of teams will determine order of finish by total points.
IX	Teams finishing worse than 5th place must pay $35 entry fee.
X	Each franchise may protect fourteen players from the draft, due by 1 am ET the Saturday of draft weekend.

	If there is a Thursday, Friday, and or Saturday game then players in those games must be started
	or pulled from previous line-up by the first kick-off of each respective day.
	If a player from a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday game is in a team's previous week's line-up
	and they are not pulled or removed by a new line-up prior to the first kick-off of the day their
	team is playing, then that player is automatically started for that week.
