Rule Changes, Disputes, and Contingencies
Rule Changes
Offseason Rule Changes
Offseason rule changes may be proposed to the league by any GM and are adopted by a majority of GMs voting for a change. The Commissioner may also announce new rules as necessary in the offseason.
In-season Rule Changes
In-season rule changes are strongly disfavored, but may be instituted with teams' unanimous consent.

Contingencies
Incapacitated GMs
Should a GM become incapacitated, unable, or unwilling to manage his or her team, the team will be taken under receivership by the league. During receivership, the league shall collectively manage the team so as to maintain competitive balance within the league.
In the case of an incapacitated GM or GM unable to manage his or her team, if that GM has any chance of regaining the ability to manage within six months or by the next first of March, whichever is more, the team shall remain in receivership for that period of time. However, if a GM is definitely unable to return, the Commissioner may turn over the team to a new GM as he sees fit.
In the case of a GM unwilling to manage his or her team, the team remains in receivership for as long as the Commissioner sees fit, until it is turned over to a new GM.[1]
