Many people showed interest in joining the league and I think it'd be great to add two more teams to the league.
Ebener I', probably going to replace you. You're the only one who never really checked.
I searched online and this was probably the best idea out there. If you're interested in being one of the 2 expansion teams or filling for ebener's spot. Drop me a message in here, a PM, or an IM.
Let me know what you guys think of the idea.

Rule #1: Each Existing team protects 8 players that cannot be picked in the expansion draft.
Since this was a league that did not use IDP players this pretty much allowed each team to protect a full starter lineup. Of course they were able to stray from that and protect whoever they wished. The number can be changed to suit your roster size.
Yes it sucks to get players taken from your team but you can protect who you want. It is fun however to watch the rest of your league get players plucked from them, especially your biggest rival!
Rule #2: Each time a team gets a player picked from his team he gets to protect another player.
At all times each team will have 8 (or the amount you settled on) players protected. It may seem like overkill but trust me it works out well for one team not to get stripped of too much. Set a time limit that the owner has to protect a player so they are not holding up the draft. Ours was 24 hours.
Rule #3: Protected players must be announced by ENTER DATE HERE.
You want to give the new owners a little time to think about who they are going to take like with any draft. Decide how the players will be announced. We use a league forum and there was a thread started for it. If you don’t use a forum for your league it’s great for communication, you should consider it.
Rule #4: No team can lose more than four players.
Again, you don’t want one or two teams stripped too much. This number can be adjusted to fit your roster size, how many teams you already have, and how many rounds are in the expansion draft.
Rule #5: There will be a XX Round Expansion Draft. Which ever new team that is determined to pick first in the expansion draft will pick second in the rookie draft. Which ever team is determined to pick second in the expansion draft will pick first in the rookie draft.
Figure out how many rounds you want. We actually did 12 rounds and have a 26 man roster. This gave the new owners the chance to get about half of their roster this way. To fill the rest of their roster they had Restricted Free Agency, the rookie draft, and a few Free Agent runs before the season started.
The way the draft ran was like this. The team picking first picked a player from the unprotected players on current teams. The owner of the team that lost the player then has 24 hours (or how ever long you determine)to protect another player. Once the new protected player was announced, or 24 hours had past, the second new team makes their pick. This cycle continues until the determined number of rounds has been completed.
Like I mentioned, you can do this however you determine. We used a thread on the league message board.
