Article I - Contacting League Officers

Your league officers are available if you have any questions or are in need of assistance. If your question pertains to a feature provided by our fantasy football hosting provider, please utilize their support resources before contacting a league officer.

If you cannot contact a commissioner, and your issue is time-sensitive (for instance, if you are requesting a roster modification because you don't have access to the Internet), please use the league message board to make your request. In this way, we can verify the time of your request and make your roster change retroactively if necessary.

Article II - League Entry & Other Fees

The following fees will be collected yearly to finance league prizes.

Entry Fee: $100 per team

A new team will pay for two years in advance before their first season.

Article III - Prize Payout Structure

Our league awards cash prizes to the two teams who make it to the championship game. We also award a weekly cash prize to the team with the highest score during each week of the fantasy football regular season.

Payout Structure Here is how we'll award the playoff teams and the weekly high scorer.

  • 1st Place: $700 (58%)
  • 2nd Place: $250 (20%)
  • Weekly Prizes: $20 per week for 14 weeks (22%)

Article IV - Playoff Configuration

Our league will implement a 6-team playoff bracket. The top 6 teams will be determined first by win/loss record and total points will be used as a tie-breaker if necessary. The playoffs start on week 15 of the NFL regular season and last 3 weeks.

We will also implement an 6-team loser playoff bracket. This bracket will have no effect on the draft order.

Article V - Determining Draft Order

Each year, the draft position for most fantasy teams will be deteremined by the standings at the end of week 14. The two teams in the championship game will draft based on their finish in the playoffs, everyone else will draft based on the week 14 standings.

The rookie draft will be a linear order. As an example the 12th place team will get the 1st, 13th, 25th, 37th, and 49th pick.

Any new teams which join the league will be slotted in at the draft position of the team they are taking over.

Article VI - Trade Guidelines

Trades will be reviewed by the commissioner. Vetoing a trade should be an extremely rare occurance.

There is only one reason that a trade will be vetoed:

  • Collusion. The teams appear to be working together to make one team better while harming the other team.

Once accepted through the hosting service, a trade cannot be withdrawn by one party due to player injury, suspension, or any other unforeseen circumstance. The only way a trade can be voided is if it is withdrawn by both parties before the trade is granted.

Week 12 is the last week to execute trades during the season. Trades will reopen as soon as the playoffs are completed.

Article VII - Creating New League Rules

When a league dispute arises which has not been addressed in the league constitution, a discussion will ensue on possible resolutions to the dispute. Based on these discussions, the Commissioner will create an online poll so that owners can vote on an appropriate course of action.

The league will follow the course of action based on a plurality of league votes. Also, we will create a new rule in the league constitution based on the result of the league poll so that similar disputes will be resolved in the same manner.

Article VIII - Penalties for Roster Oversights

If an owner has a roster slot open (either due to bye week or simple oversight), but has a backup player (not on bye, or OUT) available on their bench, then the Commissioner must insert the available player in the open roster slot. If two eligible bench players exist then the player with the highest average projected point output for that week should be inserted.

The commissioner will not make a substitution for a player who is OUT, regardless of when they were declared out.

An owner that repeatedly fails to set their starting lineup will be removed from the league.
