The draft order will be determined by luck of the draw. It will be a traditional serpentine draft, e.g. Round 1: 1 - 12, Round 2: 12 - 1.
The league will consist of 3 divisions with 4 teams a piece. Which will be determined by draw as well.
All member need to place a line up, online if possible, by 12:30 pm Sunday, or Saturday when games are played then. Players playing Thursday nights need submitted by 6:00 pm Thursday, only the players for that game are needed then. If no roster is turned in then the roster will resort back to the previous weeks roster. If no roster is submitted in a playoff game it is an automatic forfeit. So please turn in your rosters on time.
You must select :
1 QB
1 Kicker
1 Defense
1 TE
1 Running Back
and 2 Wide Receivers.
You must pick 1 more player that can be either a Running Back, Wide Receiver, or Tight End, giving you a total of
8 playing per week. The Line UP page will help prevent any mistakes on line ups.
Trades will be allowed up through the end of our regular season. No players can be traded from one team to another and then traded back to the original team. This prevents "loaning of players." The only way a player can return to the original team is through a third team or free agency. Co-Commissioners have the power to VETO trades.
Each team will be allowed to pick as many free agents as needed/wanted as long as the 16 player limit is not reached. Deadline for waivers will be 11:00pm on Wednesday nights. All waivers must be submitted in the following format:
Drop Position-Name : Pick UP Position-Name-NFL team
This will make it faster and easier to find players with the last name Smith or Johnson.
Waiver order is determined overall record, in case of a tie NFL tie breaking for Playoffs will apply.
