Gangland Dynasty Worldwide (GDW)
A.1 Introduction
This is the Official Rule Book of Gangland Dynasty Worldwide (GDW).
- All Club Members are expected to read and understand the rules and how the league operates.
- Gangland Dynasty is a themed league that plays off of the GTA series of video games, Mobsters and Mob movies, and the whole Biker Gang motif. Think of it as "Sons of Anarchy" meets "The League."
- The GDW consists of 28 teams, broken up into two Conferences of 14 Teams, each Conference will consist of two Chapters and two Pods of 7 teams each.
- A team in Gangland Dynasty may NOT have more than one owner. Co-Ownership leads to more issues then benefits.
- This rule book is the ultimate authority and final word on all disputes as interpreted by the Gangland Management.
- This league is intended for only active owners who have a passion for fantasy football.
A.2 Franchise Naming
Each owner has the right to select a team name of their choice. The team name must be related to the league theme, which is of course Gangs, but it's not meant in the strictest definition. You may have fun with your name. No overly offensive team names, use your judgment. The President may reject your team name for any reason.
On the forum, your screen name must be your complete team name. No initials and so forth unless the President gives permission to do so. Including spaces, you have 25 characters.
Changing team names should be a very rare event and must be requested to the President for approval. Since graphic changes would be required a $25 fee will be necessary to change your team name/graphics.
A.3 Terms
a) The rules posted in this rule book are considered active and binding at all times.

A.5 Appealing the Decision of the President/Vice President

a) Owner notifies the President or Vice President PRIVATELY stating he is appealing the decision along with a clearly articulated explanation of his position.
b) If warranted, the President/Vice President publicly notifies the rest of the Club as whole via the forum. Thus, starting a discussion about the decision. If a vote is deemed necessary, the President/Vice President will start one at the appropriate time. 21 Votes are required in favor of reversing the managements decision to pass.
