For this method of drafting, league owners should choose a draft date far in advance. If a league Owner takes more than 12 hours to draft a player (when it's their turn to choose), that Owner would allow the hosting site (MFL) to select the highest ADP ranked player as their draft choice. Maiden Draft Rules The league’s maiden draft would allow all owners to reserve a particular draft spot. First, league Owners would be randomly selected to pick their draft position. Owners would declare their draft spot in a forum thread created by the Commissioner. If a league Owner takes more than 12 hours to declare their draft spot (when it's their turn to choose), that Owner would be randomly selected to fill any remaining draft spots at the end of this process. The league’s maiden draft would utilize a reversed, snake-style format (1-12, 12-1, 1-12, etc.) for all draft rounds. Rookie Draft: Draft order for the league’s annual Rookie draft (held within 3 weeks after the seasons' official NFL draft) would be determined by the Championship tournament from the previous season for the last eight draft slots (1.05 – 1.12), and the Consolation Tournament from the previous season for the first four draft slots. (1.01 – 1.04). The Rookie draft would utilize a non-reversal, snake-style format (1-12, 1-12) for each round. (5 rounds total) The Rookie draft would be an e-mail (offline) draft, with each owner having 12 hours to determine their selection. If a league Owner takes more than 12 hours to draft a player (when it's their turn to choose), that Owner would allow the hosting site (MFL) to select the highest ADP ranked rookie player as their draft choice. Free Agency Off-season Roster Sizes: During the offseason for existing Dynasty Teams, Owners will be allowed to fill up to 35 roster spots through trades and free agents from the available player pool. Two separate cut events would take place prior to the start of the NFL regular season. The first cut to 28 spots would be after the 3rd week of the NFL pre-season has finished (Sunday night). The final cut to 25 spots (including TAXI) would be after the last week of the NFL pre-season has finished (Sunday night). If Owners do not have their rosters trimmed down by the League's cut-off dates, the Commissioner can move players from the Owner's roster to the free agency pool, starting with the Owners' last drafted player (ex: for 25 player rosters, only the players' first 25 draft picks would be retained) Waiver Wire During the regular season, there are two waiver periods. The first waiver period utilizes a FAAB (Free Agent Acquisition Budget) blind bidding process, and the second waiver period uses a “First Come, First Served” method once the first waiver period has expired. These waiver periods last through Week 17 of the regular season. Waivers would not be allowed after the calendar year ends. Players that are released to the waiver wire would be eligible for pickup during the next FAAB waiver wire period. Free Agent Acquisition Budget Waiver Claims: FAAB blind bidding waivers would start on Tuesday at 2:00 AM ET, allowing each league owner to bid on available free agents. The FAAB would have a set amount set aside for acquiring players during the restricted waiver period. Blind bids would be submitted by each owner for particular players they would like to acquire. The starting budget for each season would be $200 unless adjusted by majority vote prior to the start of the regular season. The order of FAAB waiver priority is determined by highest bid, with tying bids pitting Overall Winning Percentage records for first priority. Waivers continue within this process, with the order of desired players in an Owner's cue being addressed until all waiver claims have been processed. The deadline for FAAB blind bidding on free agents is Wednesday at 11:00 PM CT. First come, first served waivers would begin immediately afterward. First Come, First Served Waivers: After the restricted FAAB period has ended, owners can submit a regular waiver claim for an available free agent after protected waivers clear on Wednesday. Regular waiver claims for free agents during this non-restricted, first come-first serve period are available until kickoff time of the free agents’ particular game. Off-season Waivers: The period for off-season waivers begins after the first weekend following the NFL Rookie Draft through the beginning of the regular season. Off-season waivers would occur during the 1st & 15th of every month, starting in May and continuing through the week before the start of the NFL regular season. Waivers during this period of time would be blind bid in nature, adopting the weekly waiver schedule used during the regular season outlined above. Only non-rostered, non-rookie players would be considered available for this period of time. Off-season waivers would utilize a FAAB system, adopting the regular season budget ($200) for this period. Offseason waiver FAAB budgets do not carry over to the regular season, with any remaining balance zeroed before the regular season starts. First come, first served waivers would not be available during the offseason. All waiver claims would be blind bid in nature. Scoring System The league scoring system would be determined by league owners prior to the start of the regular season. Owners are encouraged to adopt a standardized system of point accrual, with variations based on preferences voted on by majority rule. Tiebreakers Tiebreakers would reference each team's total touchdown count as an alternative method of scoring H2H matchups. If these totals are also tied, total bench points would be a secondary method of scoring. Regular Season Week 1 - 12, H2H matchups Playoffs Week 13-15, Championship & Consolation final matchup Week 16-17 with combined score determining the winners Playoff Rules Playoff brackets wil feature all 12 teams in a Championship bracket ranked by Divison winners by win percentage for first 3 bye games and most total points for the season of the remaining 9 teams for the 4th bye. The following 8 teams will be ranked by overall win percentage seeded 5-12. Four playoff wk1 winning teams move on to play bye teams. Four playoff wk1 losing teams are placed in Consolation bracket to compete for Rookie Draft pick position ranked by two worst overall win percentage teams to matchup against each other and two better overall win percentage to matchup against each other. Winner of consolation bracket awarded rookie pick 1.01, second 1.02, winner of two losing teams awarded 1.03, loser receives 1.04. Championship bracket rookie picks are based off overall in percentage of playoff wk2 losing teams from worst receiving 1.05 to best receiving 1.08 Losing teams of playoff wk3 will complete for rookie picks 1.09 & 1.10 Losing team of championship game received rookie pick 1.11, and winner of the league will receive 1.12 Championship Bracket: The top 3 division winning teams by record are the top seeds and receive first-round byes ranked by win percentage with tie breaker being overall points scored. Remaining overall points scored during the regular season will receive final bye The remaining 8 playoff teams will complete in tradition bracket system ranked by win percentage tie breakers being overall points scored during regular season. Playoff Schedule: Week 13: Round One Teams seeded #5-#12 will complete H2H. Week 14: Round Two The four losing playoff teams play consolation bracket. Lowest regular season win percentage against second lowest, Highest against second highest. Winners move on to play bye teams. Week 15: Round Three Championship winners complete against each other for final matchup and third place matchup Consolation losing teams compete for draft order, winning teams compete for their draft order Week 16: Round Four Losing teams matchup to play for for rookie draft order and 3rd place Winning teams compete in the championship game for their first week point totals Week 17: Round Five Second week scoring for championship game with highest of two week scoring team winning league championship and loser receiving second place. ((in the rare likelyhood of a tie even with a 2 decimal system championship round teams will select 1 player off their roster competing in the NFL playoffs with the highest scoring player being the tie breaker.)) Payouts The league payout structure is as follows: (although subject to change based on league vote) Division Winners: Each division winner will Receive $200 Remaining balance will paid out: 1st: 55% of total 2nd: 25% of total 3rd: 10% of total Total Team Accumulated Points (Weeks 1-16): 10% of total Trade Rules Owners are encouraged to conduct trading throughout the offseason and for the first part of the regular season. Trading between teams would be unavailable from Week 12-17 of the regular season. All trades are expected to be executed in good faith and with the goal of improving one’s roster over the short or long-term. All trades which are mutually approved by both Owners are automatically approved without league or Commissioner consideration. The Commissioner reserves the right to nullify a trade if collusion or gross imbalance is apparent. Trade Protest - Any owner may protest a trade by posting in the league forum. A trade protest must be seconded/supported by another league owner for a league-wide approval vote to occur. A trade protest vote needs a 2/3 majority of all owners to pass. If it does pass, it nullifies the proposed trade. League Owners are allowed one trade protest per year. Seconding/supporting another owner's trade protest counts as a trade protest. If a trade protest vote is successful, the Owner and Seconding/supporting Owner are allowed to challenge another trade in the same calendar year. If a trade protest vote is unsuccessful, both the Owner and Seconding/supporting Owner lose their ability to protest a trade for the remainder of the year. Trading future draft picks: For the League's maiden draft, Owners would be allowed to trade various draft positions to other teams without having to deposit an additional entry fee for the following year. For future drafts, trades may include future draft picks for the next two calendar years. Both teams that agree to trade future year draft picks two seasons in advance must submit an additional deposit towards that season's entry fee within 1 week of the trade being processed. Trading Taxi Squad Players: Owners can use Taxi Squad players for trading and trade bait purposes throughout the year. If an Owner acquires a Taxi Squad player in a trade and has a full Taxi Squad, said Owner must have an available bench spot to accommodate the Taxi Squad player. Trading FAAB: Owners can use their FAAB budgets for trading and trade bait purposes during the NFL regular season, and during the offseason (using a separate FAAB budget for blind bidding outlined in another section). The period for using FAAB for trades during the NFL off-season starts the first weekend of the NFL Rookie Draft, and ends with the beginning of the NFL pre-season. The period for using FAAB for trades for the NFL regular season starts with the beginning of the NFL pre-season, and ends at the end of Week 12 of the regular season. Only the current year's FAAB can be used in trades and trade bait. Injured Reserve Spots Owners can utilize one or more Injured Reserve spots during the regular season for active players designated as being on Injured Reserve (RES) by their respective NFL teams. The IR slots are not available during the off-season. IR spots cannot be filled with suspended or practice squad players from different teams. Once a player has his ‘IR’ or ‘PUP’ status removed, an Owner must move the player to an available Bench or roster spot within one week of their status being changed. If the player is still in an IR spot after this week passes, the player would be placed in the available free agency pool by the Owner or Commissioner. Taxi Squad Each owner would be afforded a Taxi Squad, where an owner can stash NFL players in their rookie to 2nd year season without taking up valuable roster spots that could be used for immediate contributors. Taxi Squad players may not play in a game unless they are called up to the active roster. A player may not return to the Taxi Squad once they have been called up to the active roster. Taxi Squad player slots can be modified any time during the offseason (outside of the regular NFL season, including playoffs and Super Bowl). Once the regular season begins, Taxi Squads are locked. Owners are only allowed to promote Taxi Squad players to their active rosters. Once a Taxi Squad player has been called up to the active roster during the regular season, they may not return (be demoted) back to the Owners' Taxi Squad. Players on a rosters’ Taxi Squad can stay for 2 years maximum. A Rookie placed on the Taxi Squad may stay until the end of their 2nd year. A 2nd year player placed on the Taxi Squad may stay until the end of their 3rd year.

Payouts The league payout structure is as follows: (although subject to change based on league vote) Division Winners: Each division winner will Receive $200 Remaining balance will paid out: 1st: 55% of total 2nd: 25% of total 3rd: 10% of total Total Team Accumulated Points (Weeks 1-16): 10% of total Trade Rules Owners are encouraged to conduct trading throughout the offseason and for the first part of the regular season. Trading between teams would be unavailable from Week 12-17 of the regular season. All trades are expected to be executed in good faith and with the goal of improving one’s roster over the short or long-term. All trades which are mutually approved by both Owners are automatically approved without league or Commissioner consideration. The Commissioner reserves the right to nullify a trade if collusion or gross imbalance is apparent. Trade Protest - Any owner may protest a trade by posting in the league forum. A trade protest must be seconded/supported by another league owner for a league-wide approval vote to occur. A trade protest vote needs a 2/3 majority of all owners to pass. If it does pass, it nullifies the proposed trade. League Owners are allowed one trade protest per year. Seconding/supporting another owner's trade protest counts as a trade protest. If a trade protest vote is successful, the Owner and Seconding/supporting Owner are allowed to challenge another trade in the same calendar year. If a trade protest vote is unsuccessful, both the Owner and Seconding/supporting Owner lose their ability to protest a trade for the remainder of the year. Trading future draft picks: For the League's maiden draft, Owners would be allowed to trade various draft positions to other teams without having to deposit an additional entry fee for the following year. For future drafts, trades may include future draft picks for the next two calendar years. Both teams that agree to trade future year draft picks two seasons in advance must submit an additional deposit towards that season's entry fee within 1 week of the trade being processed. Trading Taxi Squad Players: Owners can use Taxi Squad players for trading and trade bait purposes throughout the year. If an Owner acquires a Taxi Squad player in a trade and has a full Taxi Squad, said Owner must have an available bench spot to accommodate the Taxi Squad player. Trading FAAB: Owners can use their FAAB budgets for trading and trade bait purposes during the NFL regular season, and during the offseason (using a separate FAAB budget for blind bidding outlined in another section). The period for using FAAB for trades during the NFL off-season starts the first weekend of the NFL Rookie Draft, and ends with the beginning of the NFL pre-season. The period for using FAAB for trades for the NFL regular season starts with the beginning of the NFL pre-season, and ends at the end of Week 12 of the regular season. Only the current year's FAAB can be used in trades and trade bait. Injured Reserve Spots Owners can utilize one or more Injured Reserve spots during the regular season for active players designated as being on Injured Reserve (RES) by their respective NFL teams. The IR slots are not available during the off-season. IR spots cannot be filled with suspended or practice squad players from different teams. Once a player has his ‘IR’ or ‘PUP’ status removed, an Owner must move the player to an available Bench or roster spot within one week of their status being changed. If the player is still in an IR spot after this week passes, the player would be placed in the available free agency pool by the Owner or Commissioner. Taxi Squad Each owner would be afforded a Taxi Squad, where an owner can stash NFL players in their rookie to 2nd year season without taking up valuable roster spots that could be used for immediate contributors. Taxi Squad players may not play in a game unless they are called up to the active roster. A player may not return to the Taxi Squad once they have been called up to the active roster. Taxi Squad player slots can be modified any time during the offseason (outside of the regular NFL season, including playoffs and Super Bowl). Once the regular season begins, Taxi Squads are locked. Owners are only allowed to promote Taxi Squad players to their active rosters. Once a Taxi Squad player has been called up to the active roster during the regular season, they may not return (be demoted) back to the Owners' Taxi Squad. Players on a rosters’ Taxi Squad can stay for 2 years maximum. A Rookie placed on the Taxi Squad may stay until the end of their 2nd year. A 2nd year player placed on the Taxi Squad may stay until the end of their 3rd year.

We are looking for a few more people to fill a NCAA College Dynasty League. Preferrably people who plan on staying for a year to year basis. Some of the details are posted below and email me if interested. ------------------------------------------------------ Wanted to get out some information letting everyone know that we will be doing a league and get some of the general rules and ideas out before hand. Still finalizing the number of teams, still awaiting word from a few others, but it will either be a 10 or 12 team league (2 divisions of 5) or (3 divisions of 4). I have played in a similar format the last few years, I will be open to suggestion or ideas on the league as well. **We will be using fantrax.com (cbssports this year has gone to a pay for play site so we will use fantrax instead) **Entry fee approximately $50 **BCS schools and a few independents only **Starters 2 QBS, 3 RBS, 3 WRS, 1 TE, and 1 FLEX (RB/WR/TE) NO KICKER OR DEFENSES **Rosters 20-22 (because of redshirts and IR....may lean towards 22) **Limited in season Trading (will be a trade limit and an early trade deadline) **Limited off-season Trading **Keep as many players from year to year as you want.....only lose rights when they transfer outside eligible schools or turn pro. **Schedule and playoffs will be TBD....probably 6 teams eligible for playoffs (division winners along with wildcards) **Divisions will remain the same year to year and will be decided based Geographically or Theme based....Draft order will not have anything to do with Divisions and will be decided prior to the draft. **Draft will be via Email or a Live format or combination of both. We will decide as a group. Because it is a Dynasty League, want to make sure we get it right with whatever direction we go with the draft. I know of the guys listed on this email, we represent 4-5 different states along with vastly different schedules. If we did go an Email draft route, we would have stipulations tied into it.

I am doing a Survivor Pool for the NFL season this year. For those unfamiliar you basically pick 1 game winner each week, if you get it right you move on to the next week if you get it wrong you're done. Entry fee will be $20 and looking so far to have a min of 50 people and possibly more if people recommend to friends. Obviously the more people the bigger the payouts, it will be a first, second, third payout and will run 60%, 30%, 10%. The link below will take you to the survivor page to sign up and all fees and payouts will be handled by leaguesafe.com here is the link to pay https://leaguesafe.com/join/1208625/favres-retirement-fund or once you sign up I can send you an invite, so please have your email listed so I am able to send you the link you can disable it after if you'd like. All payments are due by Sept 5th. Favre's Retirement Fund Survivor Pool In order to join the group, just go to http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival, and click the "Join a Group" button.
