There will be 3 RC seats. Each seat will carry a 3

league membership, including those who are running, will each have one
vote. If the winning candidate does not have at least 50% league
approval, a run-off of the top two candidates will be held to decide the
winner. If there is still a tie, the commissioner's vote will decide
the run-off.

replace the existing defensive/special teams scoring. Ultimately, the
