G.1 Dispersal Draft
If there is only one vacant team, it will be awarded "as is" to a new owner, unless an existing owner use their Second Chance Option (see below), in which case a dispersal draft will be held. Moreover, if there are no vacant teams, but more than one team wishes to use their Second Chance Option than a dispersal draft will be held.
If there are multiple teams vacant, their players and draft picks will be pooled and the incoming owners will participate in a Dispersal Serpentine Style Draft.
a) The Dispersal Draft will take place on a temporary MFL site to utilize their drafting software without disturbing the league.
b) Players drafted during the Dispersal Draft will retain their current contracts.
c) Prize Dollars will not be drafted. All PD's from the vacant teams will be split evenly among the new teams in addition to the 300 PD stipend.
d) The Dispersal Draft will continue until all assets are drafted or all participants have declared they are finished drafting. Participants are responsible for ensuring their team is compliant with contract cap rules, which should be easy since this process will likely take place after contracts have been rolled back and before the draft. If a franchise exceeds their team contract cap (years), they will be subject to normal rules governing said violation.
e) There will be no trading for Teams involved in a dispersal draft during the dispersal draft.
G.2 Second Chance Option
One time only, an owner who did not make the playoffs in the preceding year, can dump all their players and picks into the dispersal draft and partake as though they are a new owner to the league. This offers an owner a fresh start and a way to transform the team structure. The intention to use the Second Chance Option must be announced in the forum by February 20 of the calendar year and is only available if at least one team is abandoned or another team decides to use their second chance option.
