A.1 The Roster Wars UniverseThe Roster Wars Dynasty Owners Club (RWDOC) is intended exclusively for active owners in the top 1% anywhere. Owners are required to participate and, after their rookie year, required to contribute. Although conceived years earlier, in 2011 construction began on the RWDOC and ultimately on January 1st, 2012, Roster Wars was born. From that moment on, a summary of our League Story has been kept and can be found at
Rosterwars.com. Utilizing not only offensive players but also individual defensive players (IDPs), owners will take on all the roles of managing a franchise including adding, dropping, drafting, trading, and bidding on players whose contracts owners set, protect or dissolve.
RWDOC is as much a community as it is a fantasy football league. This means that we welcome anyone who would like to join us and is not going to cause problems, even if owning a team is not your goal. We have many "Friends of the Club".
Minnesota Eternals owner, Andrew, is the Roster Wars President (RWP).
Titletown Tyrants owner, Nick, is the Roster Wars Vice President (RWVP).
What follows is the official bylaws of the RWDOC:
* These bylaws are the ultimate authority and final word on all disputes as interpreted by the RWP. All RWDOC members are expected to read them and have a firm understanding of the rules and how the RWDOC operates.
* These bylaws are considered active and binding at all times.
* The RWP may override any of these rules at any time if an unforeseen event or situation presents itself that may be detrimental to the RWDOC. A.2 Structure of the leaguesThe RWDOC operates with conferences of 12 teams with three (3) divisions of four (4) teams. Each conference has its own player pool and teams play exclusively against conference opponents during the regular season. In week 16 of the NFL season, every RWDOC team faces off against the mirror-image from the other conference (for example the conference champs meet for the league championship, the conference runner-ups play for 3rd/4th place and so on all the way down to the bottom).
When the RWDOC first assembled, the conferences and divisions were decided on a first come, first served basis. From that point on, no realignment has occurred or is planned in the future.
A.3 Getting Started and UsernamesIf you have read our bylaws and agree to abide by them, the first thing you need to do is register here on our community forum. Your username must be your complete team name (you have 25 characters including spaces) and team names must be in the format (Location & Nickname) but the "location" DOES NOT need to be where you live or where you're from. The RWP must approve the team name for it to become official.
Example names: Los Angeles Stars, Bikini Bottom Badasses, Crystal Lake Madmen, Idaho Spuds, North Pole Polar BearsThis might help...if you have a good team name you can answer these two questions with your team name and it will make sense:
What is your team called?
Polar BearsWhere are they from?
North PoleWhen you first join, you have some time to finalize your team name. Once chosen and approved, name changes should be rare and must be approved in advance by the RWP because significant graphic changes will result.
“Friends of the Club” must also choose team names for the sake of uniformity in our community. The only exception is spouses of RWDOC owners whose usernames can be (Mr./Mrs.)(team name of owner spouse).
Examples: Mrs. Eternals and Mrs. RedknightsOnce you have registered and given yourself a username it is time to introduce yourself. On the main page of our site, the top section of our forum is titled THE FRONT PORCH and you need to start a personal thread (you will see plenty of examples and directions). We cannot wait to meet you!
A.4 Becoming a ProspectFrom the time you register and post on our forum, you become a prospect. From there, your interest and activity will determine where you go. If you look like you could be a good fit, you will be dragged into our Interrogation Room (fun way to describe interview). This process is not quick, as we are doing our due diligence to ensure you are a good fit for us and vice versa. That process will end with either you being awarded a franchise or receiving an email from the RWP with other news. If accepted, it will be to the Futures League. The only way to the Main League is through the Futures League.
A.5 RWDOC Wait ListIf you discover the RWDOC mid-season or at a time when no franchises are available in the Roster Wars Minor league, the RWP will have a waitlist. Because the RWDOC is always looking for the most elite owners out there, the RWP will choose people from the waitlist based on the activity shown by those members. If you just disappear and expect to be emailed that is not going to work out. Get involved in our community!
A.6 Club GovernanceRoster Wars President (RWP)The RWP will have final say on any ruling to settle conflicts and or disputes and will always have the RWDOC’s best interest in mind. The RWP is vested with the following powers:
A. Interpret the rules and settle any disputes concerning said rules.
B. Settle all position eligibility questions.
C. Award franchise ownership and approve team names.
D. Preside over draft and settle draft disputes.
E. Maintain appearance of RWDOC sites
F. Be responsible for submitting and counting ballots concerning RWDOC matters.
G. Oversee all RWDOC business.
H. Handle all RWDOC finances including collection of dues and payouts as well as contracting third party services.
A.7 Appealing the Decision of the PresidentThe process for appeal is as follows:
A. Owner notifies the RWP clearly explaining that they are appealing the decision.
B. The RWP publicly notifies the rest of the RWDOC via the forum thus starting a discussion about it. If a vote is necessary, the RWP will start one at the appropriate time. A majority of the RWDOC owners must vote to reverse the decision in order to have it reversed.
C. Appealing the decision of the RWP is a very serious action and is expected to be a
very rare occurrence.
