U.F.F.L Official Rulebook:
1. Each team will consist of 21 active players. Keep in mind that every player has a bye week, and on his week off, you will need a player to take his place in your starting lineup.
2. The $375 league fee is due on or before Draft Day. Any team left unpaid after the draft may be sold at the commissioner's discretion. Owners who have a balance due are not eligible for weekly payouts.
3. At the end of the season, 5 players will be franchised at their draft position from the current season. IE, a player drafted in the 5th round will result in no 5th round pick the next season. The remaining players return to the player pool and are eligible to be drafted. You are allowed to trade any of your franchised players, but he will count toward your Franchise 5 and his draft position will remain the same for the new owner, as will the length of his contract.
4. Players must be in your lineup by the start time of their game. The system will lock in/out your players once their game has started and they cannot be changed. However, if your player’s game has not started yet, you will be able to change him up until game time. A starting lineup consists of QB, RB, 2 WR, TE, K, DL, LB, DB, and 2 Offensive Flex positions.
5. The Blind Bidding period of free agency will end at 11:59p on Tuesday night each week. Owners can place a bid on a free agent from their $375 Free Agent Acquisition Budget on Tuesday morning. Minimum bid is $1, and all bids are sealed until the software sorts thru all submitted bids. The software will then do the work of awarding acquired players to the highest bidder. After that, open free agency will begin at 9a on Wednesdays. Each free agent acquired in the open period will incur a $5 FAAB fee. There will no longer be an additional cash fee per free agent.
6. Trading players is allowed between any # of teams during the season. Trades must be put on the site and accepted before they are considered complete. The trade deadline is 1:00 pm on Sunday of Week 11. Each trade will cost each team $5 from their FAAB, unless otherwise negotiated. There will no longer be an additional cash fee paid per trade. Draft picks can only be traded after the Keeper Deadline and thru the current season's draft. Future draft pics cannot be traded at any time.
7. Injured Reserve - Players either listed as doubtful due to injury and reported to miss the next game, or who have already missed a game due to injury IR are eligible for IR. There is a 2 player IR maximum. Player must come off IR within 24 hours of playing in a game. The cost to IR a player is $10 of FAAB, and there will no longer be an additional cash fee paid for IR.
8. The Survivor Pool is available to all teams, but participation is not mandatory. If you do not pick a team on any week of the season, you are eliminated from the contest. Each week, owners can pick one team to win their NFL game. If the team that you pick does win their game, you advance to the next week. If the team that you pick loses, you are eliminated. Each team can only be used one time during the season. The Survivor Pool winner will receive $400.
