Town Hall Meeting Notes
Posted by Commissioner Peter Klensch, Esq. in the league group chat.
June 1, 2026 — First Annual Bicentennial Memorial J1 Town Hall
League changes and decisions announced after the meeting.
Part 1 — Rule Changes
- Trade deadline moved from November 28 to November 14.
- Interceptions changed from -1 to -2.
- All missed kicks (including extra points) changed from 0 to -1.
- Total bench spots changed from 7 to 6 (still 1 IR spot).
Part 2 — Weekly Loser Parlay
Starting this season, the lowest-scoring player each regular season week owes $10 toward an NFL parlay. Any player may submit one optional leg to AB, the Weekly Loser Parlay Czar — submissions are due by noon each Sunday, and AB places the parlay. If it hits, the league decides what to do with the winnings then; a smaller payout goes toward a future destination draft or league dinner, a larger one gets split up.
Part 3 — Sacko Punishment
Starting this season, the Sacko chooses between two options: plan the entire draft day (food, drink, location, draft board, printed single-sided ranking sheets, etc. — costs covered by the league except printing), or take a "legit" punishment instead.
Part 4 — Other Announcements
- A season-ending League Dinner is under consideration — details TBD.
- Lil Ant named the league's 1st Commissioner's Apprentice, starting with "leather working."
- The league was officially renewed and mock draft season is underway.

Weekly Loser Parlay
