Could you be more specific in the post...how/when/where/pay-out...if any? I am always interested in new FFL's.

The differences between this and a free league is that the rules/scoring can be changed according to league decisions. Also, The league can be kept season after season to generate keeper players. There is also a lot more customization you can do with your team. The payout is still to be decided, if that is the route we go. The following rules are currently in place and can be voted upon to be changed. Thanks.

 

Every owner(s) of a team are entitled to the following:

 

1. Selection of players during the player draft.

 

2. The ability to manage the team including the selection of the players that the team will field each week.

 

 

3. The option to sign any unsigned player and to trade players with other League teams.

 

4. To receive recognition for each high scoring regular season victory.

 

5. The potential to make the playoffs and advance to the Super Bowl.

 

 

 

DRAFT

 

The draft will consist of 12 rounds for 14 player roster. The remaining two spots will need to be picked up off of waivers. One defensive/special team must be taken with a maximum of two defensive/special teams.

 

Each franchise drafts:

 

10 - 11 Offensive Players

1 - 2 Defensive/Special Teams (DT/ST)

 

If an NFL Player starts at more than one position during the NFL season, the franchise will earn points if that player scores in any position, as long as the player was started that week.

 

Obviously, if a player has been drafted by one of the other owner’s team another team cannot draft him.

 

Owners are urged to do initial research and come to the draft with a list of potential players to draft. At the discretion of the Commish, if a team does not select a player in the allotted time, they will have to wait until the end of that draft round to pick a player. The draft can be a difficult process but if everyone comes prepared it will proceed smoothly. Teams not attending the draft will have to select players from the free-agent pool (un-drafted players) before the first week of play or give the commissioner an ordered list of players to be drafted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STARTING LINEUPS

 

Each franchise submits a starting lineup of seven offensive players plus a defensive/special teams unit to our web site. Although, you have up to 1 hour prior to the first game for that week to select your starting line-ups, it is recommended to put in your starting line-ups early in the week. The league will not be responsible for line-up changes within 24 hours of the first game for that week due to website outages. If no starting lineup is submitted, the Commissioner assumes the franchise has no lineup changes.

 

The lineup consists of:

 

1 QB

2 RB

2 WR

1 TE

1 K

1 DT/ST

 

 

 

 

ROSTERS

Franchises can have a maximum of 14 players on their roster. Additionally, one defense/special is required with a maximum of two defensive/special teams. Teams can add one or two additional player or a defensive/special teams based on their initial draft selections.

 

 

TRADES

Franchises can trade one or more NFL players from one franchise to another. Players cannot be traded for defensive/special teams. Trades will be done real time.

 

 

WAIVERS

A franchise may waive a player on its current roster and add a non-roster player from the

Available Players List throughout the season.

 

 

TRANSACTION FEES

To be determined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPECIAL RULES

 

 

1. Trades will not be allowed after the 12th week of regular season. You can continue to draft any

player in the Available Players List.

 

2. If a team does not have enough players available at a position to field a team on any week,

you must drop an active player and sign a player to fill your roster.

 

3. All transactions will be reviewed by the league office for any infractions to the rules. If a

trade is declared invalid, the trade will be reversed.

PLAYOFF STRUCTURE

 

Eight (8) teams will qualify for the playoffs with each team being seeded #1 thru #8. This also determines the draft order, with no reversal of draft order after each round. The match ups for the first round of the playoffs will be #1 vs #8, #2 vs #7, #3 vs #6, and #4 vs #5. The second playoff round will matchup the highest seeded team playing the lowest seeded team of the remaining teams. The "Wild Card" week of the NFL playoffs is ignored.

 

The factors in determining the seeding will be giving the Division Champions seeds #1, #2,

and #3, with five Wild Card teams. For determining seeding order for both #1, #2, #3, and

#4 thru #8, the following hierarchy will be used:

 

1. Overall League Won/Loss Record

2. Total Points Scored

3. Head-to-Head Won/Loss Record

4. Division Record

5. Coin Toss or Merger

 

Note: When more than two (2) teams are involved, Head-to-head Won/Loss record will only

be used if one of the teams was superior to every team it is otherwise tied with. For example,

if Teams A, B, and C all have a record of 10-7, and Team A had a record of 2-0 against

Team B and 1-0 against Team C, then Team A is superior. If Team A had a record of 2-0

against Team B, but was 1-1 against Team C, then Team A was NOT superior to all teams,

thus the next level of the hierarchy is used.

 

Note: In the unlikely case that if two teams that are matched up against each other should

tie, a coin toss or a merger will decide the outcome. The two teams will have a Coin Toss

unless BOTH owners agree to merge. If they choose to merge, they must announce which

of the two team's roster it will use for the remainder of the playoffs (for purposes of whose

roster is to be used in protecting players for the playoff draft) In any case, the money will be

divided evenly among the two teams for that game.

 

Note: In the playoff draft(s), there is only 7 players drafted and 1 defense (a starting lineup). Any player that was on your roster at the end of the regular season can be protected, but you will forfeit those number of picks, starting at the END of the draft. For example, if you choose to protect

3 players from your regular season roster, you will not draft in rounds 5 thru 7 of the draft.

Also, once you choose not to protect a player, he is a Free Agent for the remainder of the playoffs. You can still draft him, but you can't protect him.
