Teams                        

                             

There are 8 teams in this NFL Fantasy Football League.

                             

                             

Fees                         

                             

Each owner, except for the Commish, pay's a $30 entry Fee. An additional $5 is collected if the team would like to be part of the post season games.                           

 

 

Roster                             

                             

A team's active roster consists of the following players: 2 Team QB’s, 4 RB’s, 2 TE’s, 4 WR’s, 2 PK’s and 2 Defensive/Special Team’s (DST). All 16 spots on your Roster must be filled at all times. It is the owner’s responsibility to check their roster each week.

 

Note: QB’s are the NFL Team and not individual’s (I.E. You draft Josh Allen, you actually draft all QB’s on the Buffalo team)

 

Note: FB’s and HB’s are RB’s.                  

 

Players cannot be moved, for instance, from RB to TE unless the NFL team has designated that player at a different position.

 

At the end of the Super Bowl, all rosters have zero players and Teams.

 

 

 

The Snake Draft

 

Picking where each team drafts. Since we are starting over in 2024, it will be considered the first year.

The first year numbers will be drawn at the night of the Football Draft in August. That number will become the team number for scheduling the week by week head to head games.

After the numbers are drawn, the team drawing the number 1, will then pick where they would like to draft their players/teams in the Snake draft. They will then draft at that spot during the 16 rounds of the draft.

 

In Season two – The team ending up in 5th place will get to pick where they want to draft in the next season. Then the 6th place team and 7th and 8th and then 4th to 2nd with the Champ getting what is left.

 

The snake draft is as follows:

Round 1 – Team drafting in the number 1 spot then 2 then 3,4,5,6.7,8

Round 2 – Team drafting in the number 8 spot then 7 then 6,5,4,3,2,1.

Rounds 3,5,7,9,11,13,15 like Round 1.

Rounds 4,6,8,10,12,14,16 like Round 2.

 

 

 

Starting Lineups

 

Lineups are due before 10am on the day of the first game of the week (usually Thursday) and 9:30am on Thanksgiving Day. Lineups consist of 1-Team QB, 2-RB’s, 2-WR’s, 1-TE, 1-PK and 1-DST.

 

If no lineup is submitted then the previous week’s lineup will be used. If it is Week One, then the player drafted first will be used as the starter. If a player is on a Bye then using the Football Reference Web Site – Fantasy Rankings – a player(s) will be subbed.  If because of Bye’s no player is available then the previous weeks lineups will be used and an email sent out.

Game Results

 

The points will be added up using the starting lineups for each team thus giving each game results with a Win or a Loss or a Tie.

 

 

 

Trading Fees                             

                             

Each team involved in a trade will pay $2.00. The number of players and/or DST’s in a trade does not matter. At the end of the trade, Rosters must be as listed in the Roster Section of the Rules.

 

 

 

Injured Reserve (IR) Fees and Subs                         

                 

$2.00 to sign a new player or TEAM QB

 

Each sub is $2.25.

           

Players can be placed on the IR only if the ESPN Injury Report has shown that that Player is OUT or on the IR that week. There is no limit to how many Players can be placed on the IR.  You cannot place a Defensive Team (DST) on the IR.  The Team QB can only be placed on the IR if the #1 QB Team shows he is OUT or on the IR that week. All of this must be done before 10am on Lineup Day. Exceptions are noted below.

 

You can sub a player or Team QB #1 QB even after your lineup has been submitted as long as that player or Team QB has not already played.

 

If after you have submitted your lineup and a player or Team QB #1 status changes to out or has been placed on the IR and the rest of that position is not available because they are doubtful or out or has been placed on the IR then you can move that player or Team QB to the IR and sign another player or Team QB unless a player or Team QB is on your IR and is eligible to come off of your IR. If you remove a player or Team QB from your IR then you must also release a player or Team QB to make room for them. The player or Team QB noted above must be placed into and remain in the lineup for that week. At the end of that week’s games if you just signed a player or Team QB then that player or Team QB will be released from your roster by the Commishes Office and the player or Team QB that was placed on the IR will be moved back onto your roster.

 

If you have a player or Team QB on your IR and they are no longer eligible to be on your IR then you must remove that player or Team QB from the IR at the next submittal of your complete lineup.

 

You can remove a player or Team QB from your IR after Thursday’s lineup as long as that player or Team QB has not played yet and that you place him or the Team QB into your lineup.  Of course you have to release a player or Team QB or move a player or Team QB to your IR to make room for the player or Team QB being taken off your IR. If the player or Team QB at the same position has an “Doubtful” or “OUT” or “IR” status, you can exchange the two players or Team QB’s as long as neither player or Team QB has played that week.

 

After a player or Team QB has played that week you cannot use that player the rest of that week.

 

When the lineups are submitted in week 17, all players or Team QB’s on the IR must be placed back on your active roster or released.

 

 

 

Lineups submitted with a non-healthy player in your lineup

 

NOTE: QB’s are not checked by the Commish

 

A non-healthy player is defined as Doubtful or Out or on the IR using the ESPN Injury List on Lineup Submittal day.

 

If a Non-Healthy player is in your lineup, the Commish will send an email to that owner’s team.

 

The email will state that you have 1 Fumble against you if ---------

(1) The Player does not play that week and

(2) The owner does not sub for that player that week

 

The next Fumble you will get a yellow flag and you pay $2 if (see above)

 

If the player does play that week or the owner did sub for that player that week then the Fumble goes away

 

 

 

Free Subs

 

Subtract the team's wins from the first payoff team's wins (each tie is a 1/2 win). If the result is equal to or greater than the weeks left in the season, then that team receives free subs during that week.

 

 

 

The BYE Week

 

If all of your players at a position, including the Team QB and DST position, have the same Bye Week, you have two choices. Play without a player or Team QB or DST at the position or when the lineups are submitted release one and sign another to take their place.

 

 

 

 

Free Agent Signings and Fees

                             

Since there are no salaries involved, all Players and Team QB’s and DST’s that are released become Free Agents. There is a $2 fee for every player or Team QB or DST claimed off of the Free Agent list. This fee includes the player or Team QB or DST being released or the player or Team QB being placed on the IR to compensate for the additional player. The Free Agent list consists of all players and Team QB’s and DST’s that are not on any of our teams.   

 

If more than one team is signing the same player or Team QB or DST then the team lowest in the standings signs the player or Team QB or DST. If this is the first week of the first season then the team that had the lowest draft pick in Round 1 signs the player or Team QB or DST. If this is the first week of season two and beyond then the team lowest in the previous seasons standings signs the player or Team QB or DST. If this is the second week or beyond then the team lowest in the previous weeks standings signs the player or Team QB or DST.

 

You can release/sign a DST on Lineup Day only.

 

                             

                             

Prize Money                        

                             

The interest income from the prize money is kept by the League Treasurer.                            

There will be 4 payoffs in the 8 team league, 1st place will receive 34% of the pot, 2nd place 28%, 3rd place 22% and 4th place 16%.

 

 

 

Rule Changes                        

                             

If any of the rules are changed or a new rule is passed during the season, then there must be a 100% agreement of the owners for the rule to become effective immediately.                         

 

                             

                             

The NFL Post Season                            

                             

Before the draft, if you paid an extra $5, you will be entered into the NFL Playoffs. All Players and Team QB’s and DST’s on your roster at the start of the Final Week will be involved in the NFL Playoffs. From the Wild Card Playoffs through the Super Bowl your players and/or Team QB’s and/or DST’s could be accumulating points. All Playoff Games will be added together to end with a Total. The Winner takes all. If there is a tie then the pot is split. The pot is $40.

 

 

Breaking Ties In The Standings

                             

If two or more teams are tied with the same number of wins, then the following procedures will be used. After placing one team higher in the standings, always return here with the remaining tied teams. Note: Ties will be considered as a 1/2 Win.

                             

The following steps are for tied teams that have not played against any of the other tied teams otherwise go to step 1 of Section 2. Note: When going from one step to the other, only take the best teams to that step.  

 

Section 1

Step 1 – Compare the tied teams and the team with the higher total points scored so far this season is placed higher in the standings. If the higher teams are still tied then go to the next Step.

 

Step 2 - Take the teams from Step 1 and total all of the wins/losses with their common opponents. Take the team with the best record and place them higher in the standings. If there is still a tie then go to the next Step.

                             

Step 3 - Take the teams from Step 2 and total all of the point spreads in all of their games. I.E. A Team won by 35 and lossed by 22 to another team then they would get 13 points.  Take the team with the best point spread total and place them higher in the standings. If there is still a tie then go to the next step.

 

Step 4 - Take the teams from Step 3 and if this is for week one then use the standings from the previous year otherwise use the standings from the previous week. Place the team that was higher in the previous standings higher in today's standings.                            

                       

If any of the tied teams have a head to head record with any of the other tied teams then use the following steps. Note: If the head to head record is a Tie(s) then 1/2 point will be added to each team in lieu of 1 point to the head to head record winner.                             

 

Section 2

Step 1 - Take all of the tied teams and add their wins and losses against each other. Add the total wins and losses and take the best won/loss record and place them higher in the standings. If more than one team has the best win/loss record then go to the next step.

           

Step 2 – Take the teams from Step 1 and add the total wins and losses against each other and take the best won/loss record and place them higher in the standings. If more than one team has the best won/loss record then go to the next step.

 

Step 3 – Take the teams from Step 2 and add their point spreads against each other. I.E. A Team won by 35 and lossed by 22 to another team then they would get 13 points. Add all of the point spread totals with all of the tied teams and take the best point spread total and place them higher in the standings. If there is still a tie then go to the next Step.

 

Step 4 – Take the teams from Step 3 and Use their total points for the season and place them higher in the standings. If there is still a tie then go to the next Step.

                             

Step 5 - Take the teams from Step 4 and if this is for week one then use the standings from the previous year otherwise use the standings from the previous week. Place the team that was higher in the previous standings higher in today's standings.
