Am I mistaken here. Or was that an assumed rule that was never documented? Clarify.
My thoughts are based on my interpretation of the rules, largely molded by precedent established to this point in the Frenzy. For official explanations of rules technicalities I defer to the Rules Chairman.

The Insects are right, the Rules Committee interprets existing rules. I guess the question here is really whether the Rules Committee can use precedent to establish a rules existence. If the answer to that is no, then the missing rules must be created... as I imagine quite a few similarly trivial situation in the coming years will need to be.

So, again, I am open to vote proposals on the matter. I too think a supplemental draft is silly, however it seems to be the only possible solution. The extremes are both calling for Hollings to be an all-out FA, the argument being either this year or next.

Just for the record, if brought into the league this year as a FA... Tony Hollings will be the only NFL player who is Frenzy league eligible and has not been exposed to a Frenzy draft. Whether a player is on your radar or not is irrelevant, both Hutchinson and Ben Gay were available to be drafted in one of the 3 previous Frenzy drafts. This is where I find the precedent on which I base my stance... so if I am wrong about this, please correct me.
