Additional Rules:
Regarding the implementation or change to all league rules:
League rules will be reviewed annually prior to the draft. All proposals for rule changes/additions will be voted on by the current members of the league. Each TEAM gets ONE vote. 7 of 10 votes is needed to implement or change any rule.
No rules will be changed once the season begins. As always, any in-season issues will be ruled on by the commissioner(s) and will be Final.
Teams with partners:
Each partner is fully responsible for the other's financial payments. This includes late fees and final payments not made in a timely fashion (i.e.-within a month of season's end).
League Fees:
The current league fee is $150 per team per year and is due in full by end of week 12. Late Fees of $5 per week will be charged until paid... or through wk 17.
$5 per loss will be charged to each team.
$3 per team per trade.
ALL league fees, player transactions fees, late payment fees, etc. are due IN FULL to the commissioner NO LATER THAN 4 weeks after the NLFFL Championship has been played. Failure to pay your teams balance on time will result in expulsion from the league for at least 1 season.
Free Agent Acquisitions:
Blind Bidding Waiver Wire. Top bid prior to 9PM on Wednesday wins player (tie breaker goes to team with worst record then lowest points). After Waiver period closes Free Agent pickups begin @ 7AM Thursday are are first-come first-serve UNTIL 12:59 PM Sunday.
Players who were dropped due to current weeks transactions shall be called "Protected Free Agents". PFA's are not eligible to be acquired until the following week (Tuesday @ 7 am).
After Wednesday night, UNRESTRICTED FA acquisitions can still be made on a first-come, first-serve basis up until that players gametime.
Injured Reserve Rules:
A player MUST actually be injured (listed as "questionable", "doubtful" or "out" on our league site) to be placed on our IR. Said player does NOT have to be on NFL IR to remain on ours.
EFFECTIVE 2017, players who were OUT the prior week but only listed as Day-To-Day on NFL injury report, CAN BE PLACED on IR (Commissioners must complete this action).
Players on your IR DO NOT count toward your roster limit of 16 players.
Once a player on your IR has been upgraded to "probable" or better on an NFL injury report OR HAS PLAYED THE PRIOR GAME, you will have 1 week to re-activate or drop that player from your team. If you do not re-activate or drop players no longer injured from your IR prior to that players teams' next NFL game (OR 1pm Sunday if said team is on bye), they will be considered "Illegal" and will result in the "Illegal Roster" penalty being applied.
You must replace a player on your IR with a free agent, or by re-activating another player from your IR. Having too few players on your roster will ALSO result in the "Illegal Roster" penalty being applied.
Remember, you can have up to 2 players on your IR. Under no circumstances will this number be exceeded by any team.
If you already have 2 players on IR, and you want to add another, you MUST re-activate a player or drop a player from IR first.
As stated in the rules, placing a player on IR must be approved by a commissioner. Re-activating a player does not need approval.
Just be sure that by re-activating a player you are not over your roster limit. You can check your teams roster status here: http://www.webcommissioner.com/reports/RosterStatusRpt.asp
Illegal Roster Rule:
Effective 2023 Season, any team that fails to field a full starting lineup with non bye week players will be fined $25 for the week or, if said team is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, a $50 fine will be levied. Players with Game-time decisions will not be factored into this rule. But players who were known to be out due to injuries must be replaced in the starting lineup.
The commissioners will make final determinations on roster status' for each team after 1:00 on Sunday's. Any roster changes made by the commissioners after 1:00 due to phone/text messages prior to the deadline will be considered legal and cannot be challenged or questioned. The commissioners expect every teams full and unquestioned cooperation and respect in regards to this rule.
Fielding a full starting lineup (9 players) is the sole responsibility of each team.
Pertaining to Illegal players left on IR that should be activated or dropped: If said player has not been moved to your active roster or dropped prior to 1pm games starting on Sunday, your team will be fined $5 and forfeit that weeks game.
Keeper Rules:
There are no keepers at current time
Playoff Format:
Effective 2023, 6 teams will make the playoffs. Each Division winner will receive a wk1 playoff bye. The next 4 best teams based on overall record (total points tie-breaker), regardless of which division they are in, will earn a playoff berth and will be reseeded 3-6.
Championship Bracket: Wk. 15- Div Winners get a bye; 3 vs.6 and 4 vs. 5; Wk. 16- Two wk. 15 winners advance to Semis vs Division winners; 1 vs lowest remaining seed; 2 vs other wk 15 winner; Wk 17 - 2 wk 16 winner play for Championship & wk. 16 losers play for 3rd place.
Toilet Bowl Bracket: Teams not making the playoffs will be seeded 7-10 based on their overall record (tie-breaker is total points scored). In Wk. 15 matchups will be 7 vs. 10, 8 vs. 9. Wk 16 - The Two losers from the playoff bracket will face the two winners from the wk 15 TB bracket (top seed plays lowest remaining seed, etc). Wk 17 - 2 winners from wk 16 TB bracket play for the TOILET BOWL; remaining wk 16 losers are done.
Money Breakdown: Toilet Bowl Winner= $100; Weekly High Scorers (wks. 1-15 only)= $10 each; 2 Division Winners= 5% each; 3rd Place= 5%; 2nd Place= 20%; Champion= 65%!
**Prior to 2015 season we voted to ammend the money breakdown, specifically for the TB & 3rd place winners. TB winner now gets $100. All else is the same.
