Basic Rules
From the proceeds received, the League will payout $20 to the owner whose team scores the highest number of points each week, $15 to the team owner whose team scores the second highest points each week, $10 to the team owner that scores the third highest points and $5 for the team owner that scores the fourth highest points (total weekly point payout for the year will be $50*17 weeks or $850, leaving the rest of the fees for the league to divide up as described below at the end of the season). In case of ties each week, the prize money will be divided evenly (i.e. if two teams tie for 2nd and 3rd then they will split $25).
Standings will be maintained on a point basis. The League champion will be the owner whose team has compiled the most points at the end of the regular season. In the event of ties, a tie breaking procedure will be implemented. The tie breaking procedure used to determine the final League standings is short and sweet:
All fees due to the League Championship Fund will accumulate throughout the season. The fees due by each owner must be paid to the League Commissioner prior to the start of the first game of WEEK 10. The League Championship Fund will be distributed to the team owners in order of highest points accumulated. The tie breaking procedure is used in the determination of placement (standings).
The League Championship Fund is allocated as follows:
- League Champion - 50%
- Second Place - 25%
- Third Place - 15%
- Fourth Place - 10%
- 5th on down - 0%
Draft
Any player, currently signed or not, may be drafted (however, they must be in the league player data we obtain from Quickstats to be found in our database) or pickked up during the season. The two Reserve positions allow you to pick up any position players you like for your roster. We do not draft the reserve positions. Reserve player requests may begin immediately after the last player is drafted but must be done as described in the Reserve rule. Trades may also begin immediately after the draft but must follow the trade rules below. Draft time limits are 2 minutes per position for the first 8 (1-8) rounds and 3 minutes per position for the last 8 (9-16) rounds.
Roster Moves
During the year an owner may
add new players to his
roster by selecting a player from the pool of un-drafted
players remaining in the NFL. All roster moves will be
made using the "Request Move" selection on the web site.
Roster moves must be submitted by the roster move deadline for the week.
The roster move deadline is at midnight- (00:00:00) PACIFIC TIME- of the day of the first game of the week.
The roster moves that do not take affect immediately are processed automatically at 1:15 am.
For example, weekends with Sunday/Monday only games means roster moves can occur up to 00:00:00 Sunday morning.
WARNING: Don't push it- the web site checks the time during the entire roster move process,
if the time crosses midnight before you finish, the move is rejected.
Check the web site for the specific day of the freeze (midnight of the day of the first game that week).
Each
owner must pay attention to these dates as there will be
no reminders sent out. The dates are posted on the web site.
In the case where more than one
team wants to pick up the same player, the team placing
lowest in the previous single week standings will get the
disputed player. If the previous week standings do not
break a tie, then the week prior to that will be used.
If the tie continues to stand, the team selecting latest
in the first round of the draft will get the disputed
player. Roster moves may commence immediately after the
last pick of the draft with the deadline for week one as
described above. The cost to select a new player during
the season shall be $5 and that $5 will be put into the
championship fund. When a new player is selected, the
owner must release a player from his existing roster who
is playing the same position as the new selected player.
Any released player may be selected by any owner
beginning the following week unless the player is released during the week
by one of the immediate roster move types, in which case the player is in the free list and is available.
Trading
Trades will be allowed between
owners only during the first 9 weeks of the season. Trades
are made by clicking on the "Request Move" button and specifing a trade.
The other team owner must login the the web site and confirm the
trade in order for it to be completed. As soon as the confirmation is done, the
trade is completed, there is no waiting until the roster move deadline that week.
Each trade requires only one player from each team with matching positions. You may
submit as many trades each week as you like with one or multiple teams. Each team
involved in a trade is only charged $5 for the week. Example: if you (Team C) trade a QB with
Team A, a WR with Team A, and a RB with Team B, Team A, Team B and Team C will be charged $5 that week
(yes, Team C and Team A made two trades but are only charged one $5 trade fee that week).
The $5 fee per team involved
(that is the complete transaction between the teams
involved, regardless of the number of players) will be
paid to the championship fund. The trade may occur
anytime during the Roster Move time window.
Trades occur immediately after the second Team Owner confirms the trade.
Trades may be
nullified by the commish if he feels there is illegal "stacking"
occurring.
Points are awarded as follows: Passing Plays: (both passer and
receiver are awarded) Yardage Awards: Running plays: Field goals 2 point conversion: 2 points
(runner or passer and receiver will be awarded points) Point after touchdown: 1 point Defensive Team Head to Head - 5 points (Wins only,
ties are 0 points) When strange things happen that result in a score, the
QuickStats service (the source of our Stats) has the final word on the score.
The QuickStats site has some interesting discussions on strange plays and how they are scored.
Reserve Players
Each team has two reserve positions.
You may (during the roster move window) move players between
the active roster and the reserve positions. You may add a player directly to a reserve position.
Each reserve position change/move costs $5.
Players on the Reserve list may be traded (moved from
one team's Reserve List to another team's Reserve List or active roster as long as the position matches).
Scoring
LINEUP Deadline:
You must enter your line-up on the WEB SITE
by the posted line up deadline(s).
We use the schedule table from Quickstats to dynamically build the game dates and times table.
This means scheduled game times are set from the official NFL site, just formatted by Quickstats.
Some games are 1:05 or 1:15, you have up to game start time for line up changes for player position
represented in that game. Please note: The networks have the option of changing games in the second half of the season
and that means games times for you FFL Tema will change. The netowrks have until Friday of that week to
make the change known. So, pay attention!
Line up changes are ALLOWED up to game start time.
The time of the next game to start is always on the navigation bar on the web site.
Line Up Changes are ALLOWED to any and all positions where none of
the players games have started for the week. For example, if your 4 WRs are on
DEN, GB, NYG, and NYJs, and these teams play each other on
Sunday and Monday nights, you will be able to select your WRs up to game
start time on Sunday night. The same goes for all positions.
Your line up changes must be completed PRIOR to game start time for any
player at the position you are changing.
Use the "Change Lineup" Web Page to make the line up changes.
In all cases of an owner not submitting a lineup in time,
his previous week's line-up is used to determine which
players start.
The inital lineup each season is the order a team is drafted, by position (i.e.
the first two RBs drafted by a team will be the starters unless a line up
is submitted by the owner prior to the first line up deadline).
It is the responsibility of each
team to verify the points for his team that are on the
result sheets for each week. The last word on points for
the league is the Quick Stats Service.
