STARTING IN 2023
The 14-week regular season will run from NFL Week 1 through NFL Week 14. Throughout the regular season, each of the 12 teams in the league will play 14 Head-to-Head matchups vs. the rest of the league. Each team will play against the 3 teams in its Division twice: the first 3 matchups in Weeks 1-3 and then 3 more in Weeks 12-14. The rest of the 8 weekly H2H matchups during Weeks 4-11 will be against non-Division teams. All H2H head matchups will be scored based on a Victory Points system, and the league standing will result from the number of Victory Points each team accumulates.
The Victory Points system works in the following way:
Each weekly H2H Win earns 2 VPs
Each weekly H2H Loss earns 0 VPs
Weekly Victory Point distribution:
Top point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No. 2point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No. 3 point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No. 4 point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No. 5 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No. 6 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No. 7 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No. 8 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No. 9 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No. 10 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No. 11 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No. 12 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
Each team will earn 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 VPs each week based on the criteria above. The weekly league standings will be based on the number of total Victory Points each team has accumulated to date. If there is a tie between teams in weekly points scored in the H2H matchup, the 2 VP points will be split evenly, 1 for each team. If there is a tie between teams in weekly points scored in separate matchups, the following tiebreakers will be used to determine who earns the Victory Points:
1. Most total points to date
2. Regular season win/loss record to date
3. Head-to-head record
4. Starting QB points during the week.
5. Coin toss
After Week 14, 6 teams will earn a berth in the League Playoffs in Weeks 15, 16, and 17. These 6 teams will be the 3 Division winning teams and the 3 teams with the next highest amount of Victory Points. These 6 teams will play against each other in total points competition to determine League Champion. The winners are based on weekly points scored, and there are no H2H matchups or Victory Points used in the League Playoffs. These 6 teams will be seeded 1 through 6, and the seeding will be determined in order as follows:
Seed 1 – Team with the most Victory Points
Seed 2 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points (not necessarily a Division Winner)
Seed 3 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points
Seed 4 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points
Seed 5 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points
Seed 6 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points (A division winner with fewer victory points than another team could qualify as the #6 seed. All three division winners must make the playoffs.)
If there is a tie between teams in Victory Points, the following tiebreakers will be used to determine Division winners as well as Playoff Seeding:
1. Total Points scored weeks 1-14
2. H2H win/loss record
3. Total starting QB points scored weeks 1-14
4. Coin toss
Seeds 1 and 2 will win a regular season award (as listed in the prize section) and earn Immunity in Week 15 of the League Playoffs. This means Seeds 1 and 2 automatically advance to Week 16.
During Week 15, Seeds 3, 4, 5, and 6 will have their scored re-set to zero, will set their lineups, and compete in a total points competition. The two teams which score the most points during Week 15 will advance to the League Playoffs. The remaining two teams are eliminated.
During Week 16 and 17, Seeds 1 and 2, as well as the two seeds which advanced from Week 15, will have their scores reset to zero, set their lineups, and compete in a 2-week total points competition. The team which scores the most points during Weeks 16 & 17 will be crowned League Champion. The team which scored 2nd most points will be runner-up. The team which scored 3rd most points will finish 3rd.
In the rare case that there is a tie between teams in any of the League Playoff total points competition for the Dynasty Standard format, the following tiebreakers will be used in order from 1 to 5 to determine winners:
1. Total Victory Points during the regular season
2. Head-to-head in the regular season
3. Regular season win/loss record (weeks 1-14)
4. Starting QB points in League Playoff game.
5. Coin toss
If you finish dead last in the standings during the season you will automatically get the 12th pick in next seasons draft.
There will be a 3 owner committee for trade reviews. The 3 owners are Eric Freidrich, Dave Collins, and the Commissioner, if one of these owners are involved on the trade another owner will be selected by the commissioner to fill in on the trade review board for that particular trade. Trades will only be reviewed if a owner protsests that trade. ALL TRADES WILL HAVE A 24 HOUR WAIT PERIOD BEFORE BEING APPROVED.
