Since I haven't figured out how to post a link to a document on BlogSpot yet, here are the rules of the TGBL. I'm sure they aren't complete. For example, exactly how much the winner gets is still undetermined. (Assume nobody's getting rich.)
If anyone has any great ideas to add to the rules (provided they don't add a bunch of work to maintainance and upkeep) please send them along.

Rosters & Players

- New players must be claimed by 5 p.m. PST. The change will take effect the next day.
- If more than one team claims a player, the team lowest in the standings at 9 a.m. PST will get that player.

- 100% of the entry fees will be paid out as prizes. The distribution of said prizes will depend on the number of teams, but generally the winner will receive 40-50% of the prizes, and 40% of the teams entered will win some prize of some sort.
