ZFFL Draft set for Tuesday night 8pm Sept 8th and NOTE!!!!! the Trenches draft is being moved up 1 hour  to 7PM Wed Sept 9th due to 820pm NFL Game kickoff that night!

Roster Cut downs due for both leagues on Monday August 31st by 8pm.  You will be able to keep one or two rookies as usual if you have them, and they can come to your roster in any manner. That means you do not have to have taken one in the first round of the draft to be able to have two.  Seven with no rookies, eight with one rookie, and of course, nine with the two rookies. We did not see any need to continue that restriction any longer at this time. (Trenches unaffected)

Due to the short turnaround from draft days to real NFL game starts the next day and the day after, unfortunately, we are doing away with the League Champ getting to pick their division after the draft.  We found that this created a major change in the way the schedules are made and a last minute change would change everything stopping me from getting it done in advance....thank you for understanding.

Make sure you are familiar with the new site and how things work.  Questions to me and please not the night of the drafts.... Get in the site now and hit the draft room.  Experiment now before it counts!!!  I will not be avail to help you that night if you did not do your home work.  Please take a look.....

The new regular season schedule has not been done yet, and will be completed over the next few days.

In addition, we are tweaking the playoff IR rule and Pool moves. It will no longer be a requirement to pick up the same player i.e.  RB for RB, RC for RC that you are moving to IR during the playoffs. As we are using fab money now, everyone has the same shot at the same players/team slots with the bidding process.  So the regular season pool/ir move schedule will be in effect for the entire regular season and all the way through the playoffs. This makes it very important to insure you have saved some money left at the end of the regular season to be able to bid on a player that un-covers during the playoffs that could be a game winner or pull off a block on your opponent.

So with the upcoming season and going forward that entire IR rule during the playoffs will be eliminated and all players and team positions can be IR’d, dropped and picked up as normal during the regular season by the playoff teams.  However, individual players that are picked up (not team slots) will be reversed and put back into the pool after the playoffs have been completed.  

At the end of the regular season, the two division winners (bye teams), will be given an additional $50 of FAAB bid money added to their teams account for bidding during the playoffs, this will serve as a reward for their regular season performance.

We think this will help and improve the overall playoff system in place. Any questions or suggestions to the commissioners office as always? Thank you.
