2023 FFL RULES
1. All fantasy team owners shall assemble at an agreed upon time and place for the annual player draft meeting.
2. The FFL Draft will be a NBA style draft. The 4 non-playoff teams will each have a separate amount of papers in a hat as follows: 10th place 4; 9th place 3; 8th place 2; 7th place 1. A lottery will be conducted in order to arrange a draft order for the upcoming season. The remaining playoff teams will be placed by playoff finishes and season ending record.
3. Before the draft each owner will have to declare whom he wishes to name as his Franchise Player if he chooses to do so. Defense special teams cannot be protected.
4. You may choose any player from your end of the season roster and name him as a Franchise Player. If you choose to do this, there will be a twenty-dollar protection fee. If you qualify for the playoffs your protection fee will be returned, if your protected player leads the league in points scored at his position, and is still on your roster at the end of the season, you will get your protection fee back. Fail, and it will be divided up equally among the other playoff teams. You may protect the same player every year provided you pay an additional one hundred percent protection fee on top of what you paid the previous year. A $ fee will be deducted this season for the use of commissioner web site.
5. Line-ups are your responsibility. Deadline for line ups will be set on the web site at one minute prior to the kickoff of the first game each week. If you are unable to access the site please call or email your line up to the commissioner.
6. A normal line up will consist of 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 3 wide receivers or tight ends, 1 kicker a defense special team, and a coach.
7. You may place any player that is placed on the NFL's injured reserved list on the FFL's injured list. Once the player is activated, you have one week to reactivate him in writing to the commissioner. Failure to do so will mean that you have lost that player and he becomes an unused player free for anyone to pick up.
8. Due the NFL's IR rule, any FFL team that would be forced into taking a zero, due to a non IR injury, in which his player is listed as doubtful, or out, would be able to petition the commissioner for a injury move. If ok'ed you could pick up any available player for use in that game only. Should you decide to keep this player a free move would be counted against you. You would be eligible for one injury move per position.
9. Trading is allowed; any player acquired in a trade must be kept. You may only release a player acquired by trade by using a free roster move or releasing him through the FFL injured reserve rule. You may re-trade or release a traded player only after in appears in your starting line up at least twice.
