Updated August 28, 2019
The regular season will be 14 weeks with each team playing every other owner once and an extra game against one other owner (randomly determined by the software). In addition each week the top 7 teams in scored points for the week will receive a second win while the bottom seven will earn a loss. So in every week a team will have two decisions for a total of 28 during the regular season for each team.
The playoffs will be 3 weeks and 8 teams will qualify. The teams will be seeded 1-8 with 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7 etc. Round two will be reseeded (the highest remaining seed playing the first round winner with the lowest seed).
Fees: Each owner must pay a league fee of $75 for a total of $1050. The cost for the website, $80, is paid by the commissioner and will be deducted from the league pool. Fees need to be sent to Stephen Smith, 10 Stone Garden Ct, Owings Mills, MD 21117 by end of September.
The Payout is as follows – Regular Season ( $500 )
First Place $200
Second Place $150
Third Place $100
Fourth Place $50
Playoffs ( $400)
Champion $150
Second Place $100
Third Place $ 75
Fourth Place $ 50
Fifth Place $ 25
NFL Pickem Winner ($50) Second place ($20)
Total Payout is $970. Amounts will be paid by check or PayPal in early January, after the regular season of the NFL ends.
NFL pick em: Each owner picks who they think will win each NFL game each week, for weeks 1-16. The owner who picks the most games correctly in a week, gets $10 waiver bucks added - in case of a tie, both owners will get $10 in waiver bucks. The owner who picks the most games right for the season gets first place. The second most gets second place.
Waivers and Waiver Fund: Each week, starting after the conclusion of week one games, the league will hold a silent bid system for free agents on Wednesday night at midnight. Each team starts with a Waiver fund of $200 to begin the season. Owners can submit requests for players, and the amount they bid into the site. You may not exceed your waiver fund when putting in your bid(s). If you put in for more than one player, the total amount entered for all sought after players must not exceed your waiver fund balance. If you exceed your waiver fund level, all waiver requests are null and void. It is each owners responsibility to read up on the Waiver process guide for the RTSports site.
The minimum amount bid is $1. If more than one owner bids on a player, the owner with the higher amount gets the player and the bid amount is deducted from that owner's waiver fund. The owners with the unsuccessful bids have their bid amounts returned to their waiver fund. If two owners bid the same amount, the owner with the worst record will get the player (just like the NFL).
Free Agents: As of Thursday at 8AM, teams can pick up additional free agents on a first come first service basis up to game time on Sunday. Players dropped during the waiver process above are eligible to be picked up immediately. An owner can never pick up a player that has already started their NFL game for that week.
Prior to the start of NFL Regular Season week one games, any owner can pick up players on a first come, first serve basis after the league draft has concluded.
Trades: all trades are at no charge and must be confirmed by the commissioner. The commissioner does not approve the trades per se, rather he makes sure that the trade is actually legal with regards to roster spots etc. Woefully uneven trades will be brought to the attention of the league. Trades can include rostered players and waiver funds.
Line Up: It is each owners responsibility to set their lineup prior to a player's game starting. If you can not get to the website prior to the game, the owner can call/text/email in their lineup to the commissioner (914-329-0229) and when able post a note or call the owner that they are playing. The commissioner will enter the line up based on the owner's recorded request once confirmed by the opponent.
Roster Make up:
Each team has 20 roster spots which must be filled up at the draft. Each team must roster a minimum of 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex spots (RB-WR-TE) 1 Kick, 1 Def Team, 1 DL, 1 DB, 1 LB and 1 Def Flex (LB, DB or DL). Each week owners must start 8 offensive starters and 5 defensive starters as follows: 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 Kick, 1 Def Team, 1 DL, 1 LB, 1DB, 1 Flex (DL,LB,DB). So with the offensive flex a team could start up to thee RBs or up to four WR's, or up to three TEs, or some combination of RB, WR and TE's that equals 6.
All TD's are worth 6 points and all NFL players get these points regardless of position; i.e. a defensive player lined up in an offensive set and scores a TD would get 6 points for that week. There is a 2 point Bonus on TDs for QB's only on their 3rd and greater TD pass of a game.
All NFL yardage is earned converted to Fantasy Points starting with one yard. Passing yardage counts 1 pt per 25 yards for QB's and 1pt per 10yds for other offensive players and kickers. Rushing yardage counts 1 pt for 10 yards. Receiving yardage counts 1 point per 10 yards. Return yards are summed for kickoff and punts and earn 1 point every 20 yards.
All players receive 1/2 point for each reception.
Individual Defensive Players (IDP) have the following scoring: Sack 3pts, Force fumble 1 pt, Fumble Rec 1pt, Int 2.5 pts, Pass Def 2 pts, Safety 4 pts, Tackles (1-4 tackles 1.5 pts each), (5-7 tackles 2.0 pts each), (8-10 tackles 2.5 pts. each), and (each tackle above 10 is 3 pts each).
IR Roster Spot:
Each team has two IR spots. These can be used to put a player that is on NFL IR/PUP list. They can also be used if a player has been designated as "out" by the NFL for a given week. Additionally, the second spot can also be used for a player on a bye week in lieu of housing an injured player - in these circumstances, the bye week player has to play for a team that has an NFL bye that week. Only one bye week player can be used in this fashion. Abuse of the IR spot ( two bye week players taking up both slots), will result in the second player being dropped from the owner's team by the commissioner.
COVID IR Slots - For 2023 the commissioner will monitor COVID absences in the NFL and may add additional IR slots if deemed necessary.
Fair Competition Rule: If the owner, during the bye weeks fails to switch out a player that has a bye, or starts a player that is designated as OUT on the NFL injury report, the commissioner will exchange that player from one from the bench that has the worst points/week average. This rule is designed to cover a situation where an owner has given up and thus does not field a competitive team later in the year. This is not fair to other owners who may have played that team earlier in the year. This rule is best avoided by having all owners stay active.
