PFL Rules
NEW RULES FOR 2008
1) Start two QB's every week
2) Every 20 completions in one game =1pt
3) The "Marques Colston" Rule: Any player who changes to a position in which he was not drafted/picked up as, this player will also have his position changed in PFL during the season as soon as deemed necessary. We can use www.nfl.com if we need clarification of any players position.
4) The "Flexible Time" Lineup Rule: You do not have to have your entire starting lineup in by one o'clock Sunday. If you have players playing later games (4:00, 8:00 Sunday Or Monday night), you may wait until that game time to name your starter. Example: If the Steelers play the Vikings Monday night and you have both Willie Parker and Adrian Peterson on your roster and want to start just one of them, you can wait until game time Monday night to name your starter. Note: You cannot start any player once his game has started.
You have to turn in a lineup every week. No reverting back to last weeks lineup. If you don't turn in a lineup you get 0 points for the week.
No injury substitute starters in your starting lineup. If you have a player who
is questionable or a game-time decision you take a chance and start that player or play it safe and start someone else. This rule eliminates "if James doesn't play start Mungro instead."
If an offensive player returns a fumble; Ex: Parker fumbles while running the ball and Ward picks it up and scores, Ward would get rushing TD points. Same with an interception that is fumbled and a started offensive player picks it up and scores. Ex. Big Ben throws and int to Champ Bailey, Bailey fumbles and Ward picks it up and scores. *There was never a specific rule addressing these situations.
No injured reserve (IR). If you have a player who gets hurt you either keep him
or cut him and pick someone else up. You can carry 3 extra players/teams at any position provided you end up with the minimum players/teams at each position.
The draft will be Sunday September 2, 2007 at 1:00 PM at George's house.
Waiver Wire: The term "waiver wire" simply means a place where all cut players
are located. Players placed "on waivers" become free agents if they remain on
the Waiver Wire for approximately 48 hours without being claimed. Our league
"waiver time" will be 8:00 PM. For example if Mark Bruener is cut at 10:30 AM on
Tuesday he would clear waivers and become a free agent at 8:00 PM on Thursday.
(If no one puts a claim in for him). This is a little more than 48 hours. If
Mark Bruener is cut at 11:45 PM on Tuesday he would clear waivers and become a
free agent at 8:00 PM on Thursday. (If no one puts a claim in for him). This is
a little less than 48 hours. The waiver wire begins right after the draft and is
in affect all year.
Waiver Position: Each team is assigned a waiver position at the start of the
season. This rank is determined by the reverse draft order of the last round of
the draft. The farther down the list of league teams you are the lower your
waiver claim position.
One or more owners may claim a player "on waivers" during the waiver period.
To make a claim for a player "on waivers", send an email to
pflfootball@googlegroups.com.
You will be required to include who you are cutting to accommodate the claimed
player in the email. This is the same procedure we will do for Tuesday evening
pickups. This is NOT a secret. Everyone in our league will get the info via
email.
At the end of the approximate 48-hour waiver period, the player is awarded to
the claiming owner with the highest waiver position (lowest number) provided he
made the appropriate roster moves. The owner making the successful claim is
moved to the last waiver claim position. Owners whose claims were unsuccessful,
or did not make a waiver claim, move up one position on the waiver claim ladder.
Once you put a waiver claim in for a player you may NOT
recall it.
The "waiver wire" will also be the procedure followed for Tuesday evening
pickups.
Any emails for Tuesday
evening pickups, sent with a time stamp of 7:59 PM or earlier, according to google time, will be automatically considered a claim (whether you want to use a
claim or not) and you will lose your waiver wire position, if successful. Any
email sent with a time stamp of 8:00 PM or later, according to google time, will
be considered a free agent pickup and no waiver is needed. If two or more teams
send out an email with the same time sent stamp , according to google time, the
team highest on the waiver wire order (lowest number) will get the player and NOT lose
their waiver priority.
This will NOT affect the
waiver wire position. The waiver wire position will be only used as a
tie breaker tool in this situation.
Any teams/players that play prior to Sunday are unavailable for pick up once their game starts and will be treated as if they played on Sunday when it comes to the waiver wire. However a team/player that plays prior to Sunday may be cut, unless he was started that week.
Must pay $200.00 by the end of the NFL regular season. You have four months to pay this!!
Any trade can be made just so the teams involved do not violate the roster
parameters. For example you can trade 1 QB for 2 RB's or 3 WR's.
Trade deadline is at the end of the Monday night game (12/1/08) Jacksonville at Houston--WEEK 13
All roster moves & starting lineups must be emailed to
pflfootball@googlegroups.com
Pickups can be made between Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. and Sunday at 1:00 P.M. (Start of Sunday Games) of each week during the regular season. Preseason pickups can be made at ANY time (this means any day of the week). You just have to follow the waiver wire procedures even in the preseason.
Trades can be made at anytime before the trade deadline in preseason or regular
season.
If you have four running backs or three quarterbacks with the same bye week you have to cut them to pick someone else up. You could also leave the starting position blank.
All starting lineups must be in by game time of the players you are starting. If teams play Thursday or Saturday of the week you must email the league if you are starting a player who is playing that day.
The winner of the league will receive $1,200.00 and the team name engraved on the PFL plaque. The runner up will receive $400.00.
No selling of PFL franchise, players or draft picks.
The draft will consist of 24 rounds.
