By-Laws

Fantasy Football League Rules

 

General Philosophy

To simulate the NFL personnel management decision process of franchise building techniques through the wise and timely drafting and trading of NFL personnel for our own fantasy league.

 

Objective

To amass the highest weekly point totals based on selected individual players and team positions while playing a fantasy league a schedule against other teams in weekly head-head competition.

Owners

1. There will be 12 teams; usually in a 2-division format of 6 teams. When the NFL changes its yearly schedule, we will do whatever we need to in order to maintain our balanced schedule.

2. Will give a $80 entry fee to the commissioner AT THE DRAFT! (prefer 4 $20s please) This pays for all entries and prize money.

3. Will vote on any new issues affecting the whole league. Plurality vote is needed to change anything. (unless Commish has already decided!)

4. Are solely responsible for getting their lineups into league site by game time of 1^st game of week, Full lineups should be given because changes can be made until kickoff of prospective games.

5. Will make sure final roster players who were not on their initial roster have been played at least once. Failure to do so will result in penalties.

 

Draft

Draft will be held Friday night prior to start of regular NFL season. Draft order is pre-established, round 1 and 2 are reversed. Odd rounds are drawn- Even rounds reversed. Previous season’s low point finisher has first choice of team, 2^nd low next. Etc.

Commissioner

1. Will accept, verify or negate trades or transactions as necessary.

2. Will enforce and oversee league rules and changes.

3. Will assure rosters are always up to date with 18 players.

4. With help of the board, maintain the integrity and sense of fair play.

Schedules

1. League will usually consist of 2 six team divisions with every team playing 2 games a week. Each team in division will play the other 5 teams four times and the other divisions’ 6 teams twice. All divisional teams will have played the same schedules by years’ end. Weeks 15, 16, 17 & 18 will have only one game to keep balanced schedules.

2. Tie breakers for overall positions and awards will be high total yearly points. Best division won-lost first tie breaker will be most wins when tied teams played each other. Second tie breaker will be highest total points when remaining tied teams played each other. During regular season, ties for high points in a given week will be decided by highest bench points of any one individual player- rb, wr, or idp- on the tying teams.

Weekly Lineups

1. One lineup will be used for 2 different games. It will consist of the following 10 players or positions:

• 1 team quarter back

• At least 1 individual running back

• At least 2 individual wide receivers

• 1 team kicker

• 1 team def/st

• 1 individual defensive player [ I. D. P.]

• 3 individual flex players- they can be RB, WR, IDP in any combination. Each week owners may give the Commish 2 of their individual non-starters- one offensive and one defensive, to be used as alternates if an individual starter has no stat. Offensive alternates can only be used for one off. player and def. alternate only once for def. player. If alternates are not given for each individual week, you will not have any for that week Alternates are not used to cover for bye weeks or inactives. Once the alternate plays their weekly game, they are ineligible for any transaction until the next week.

Penalties

1. Failure to get lineups in on time will result in previous week’s lineup being used- this could be costly in a bye week.

2. Each player on final roster not on original roster must have played at least once or lose highest points position on season’s last week. 2 players will be 2 pos. etc. Big Bubba retired so I’ll handle it.

Rosters

1. Will always consist of 18 players/position with at least 1 at every position  except  WR  where 2 are required.

2. Team Positions can only be changed by trading, dropping after 3 consecutive 0-stats or by waive rule. If designated starter at QB or K position goes on I.R., is listed as “out” or “inactive”, suspended, has 3 consecutive 0-stats, etc., he may be dropped and new “player” added for any position as long as roster requirements are met.

3. Individual Players maybe traded or dropped using team positions requirements.

4. Stats can be “+” or “-“. One carry for 0 or -1 yd. is a stat.

5. Replacement players must be added immediately when a player is dropped.

6. Only NFL rostered players can be added or traded after draft. Drafted holdouts, I.R., suspended etc. Players can only be dropped or waived after their initial designation expires. Undrafted holdouts, i. r., suspended etc. players can only be picked up after they have a stat. During regular season, players dropped as a result of going on i. r. or being suspended etc., can be picked up by anyone - subject to waive rule requirements.    

7. Tight ends are considered wide receivers.

8. Our league site determines a player’s position. They do not list 2 position for anybody, even if their NFL roster does. Commish can’t change them- I tried!

9. Players drafted on your original roster need not be played by end of season, all others on your final roster must be. If not penalty will be incurred for each one.

Trades and Transactions

1. All trades and transactions require the immediate approval of the commissioner. The commissioners’ trades require immediate approval of board. All transactions are recorded on league’s site’s transactions page.

2. All owners should be aware of players’ stats., Injury, and playing status. only trades not allowed would be a lopsided trade made with obvious intent of loading one owner up against another. Once a trade is reported to and approved by commish-IT IS FINAL! Commish would expect that all injury and playing status considerations would be reported and discussed with other owner at time of trade.

   • Trade and transaction hours are:

     Even up trades are allowed anytime but no transactions are allowed that involve players who have played their week's game until the following week. Thursday and Saturday games e. g. The league's week ends with the Monday night game unless there is none.

     Waive requests maybe called into Commish or put on our league site until 9:00 pm Tuesday when they are awarded by Commish.

   • Top 4 teams in points are eliminated from Tuesday waiver pickups. Other teams will be awarded ( up to 2 ) players in reverse order of points position 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 the first week. Week 2 the players awarded will rotate to team 8, 7, 6, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 and continue this rotation. After Tuesday waives are complete (10 pm) Team 1 -4 can submit “free drop” pick ups rewarded by lowest point total first. (4,3,2,1). Wednesday goes back to first come first serve.
   • All teams can release injury drops, players on IR or out
3. Waives are an owner removing an individual or team player from his roster and replacing with another. Two waives with any number of legal drops are allowed in a given week. 

4. EVEN trades only!  NO CONDITIONAL TRADES!

5. Defense/Special teams are always considered one position.

6. Inter and intra division trades are equally encouraged.

7. This commish considers trading a team position for a needed individual position an even trade – within reason. Point scoring is not always a consideration!

 

Point and Statistical Verification

1. The RTSPorts.com commissioners statistical package is the official scoring source for our league. It will control scoring and player position. It will also automatically change any scoring resulting from an official NFL change. In rare cases, it may be necessary for our commish to make scoring changes. All owners can watch scoring on line as it happens.

League Entry Fee

An entry fee of $80 x 12 owners= $960. $840 for regular season- mandatory $10 for all 12 owners= $120 for playoffs adds up to $960 returned at end of season.
