Basics:
League Fee - $150.00.
RTS League Fee - Will come out of Trade Pool (strictly for ease of accounting). The RTS League Fee is the fee to pay for the RTS Website.
Adding a player in Free Agency will cost $5.
If any team plays a player on a bye that team will be fined $5 per player on a bye that is in their starting line up.
Draft/Roster:
Four days before the draft every team will need to have their roster finalized. You can drop or keep as many players as you would like. You do not get additional draft picks if you decide to drop more players then you have draft picks. You will have to pay for your additional players after the draft when Free Agency opens. If you decide to not use all your draft picks then you will forfeit any picks that you don’t use. Your team is free to draft any positions they want. The only rule is that you have to have a starting lineup when the draft ends. (See LINEUPS section below to see requirements of a starting lineup)
Playoffs:
The playoffs will be weeks 15-17. Eight teams will make the playoffs. The top 2 in each division, plus 2 wild card teams. They will be the 2 remaining teams with the best records. Ties will be broken by total points scored.
Playoff seeding will be as follows:
1-3 - Division winners.
4-6 - 2nd place finishers.
7-8 - Wild Card.
Tie-Breakers: Rankings and tie breakers in all situations will be Win/Loss then Total Points scored.
Schedule:
Regular Season: Our league consists of 3 divisions of 4 teams. Every team will play 2 games against everyone in their own division and 1 game against all the other teams. The regular season will be weeks 1-14. Week 18 will be a friendly matchup with the win/loss counting towards record and points counting towards overall points for the year.
Playoffs: Will be played per seeding for all teams making the playoffs and will be weeks 15-17
Week 15 - 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6, 4 v 5
Week 16 - Winner of 1 v 8 play winner of 4 v 5 and winner of 2 v 7 play 3 v 6
Week 17 - Super Bowl last two teams remaining play each other.
Teams that did not make the playoffs and how we figure out who they play will be figured out after voting and will be changed in here to reflect those results.
Playoff Schedule for Teams Eliminated and Teams that didn't make the playoffs:
Week 15 - 4 teams will not be in the playoffs. This week is easy, basically make sure the 4 teams don’t play with-in their division.
Week 16 - The 4 teams that did not make the playoffs will have their games flipped. The 4 teams eliminated from the playoffs will play each other based on their seeding, a loser’s bracket. Basically, the loser of 1 v 8 plays the loser of 4 v 5 and the loser of 2 v 7 plays the loser of 3 v 6.
Week 17 - The 2 teams that were eliminated from the playoffs play each other for 3rd in the league. The 2 teams from the loser’s bracket that won will play each other. The last 6 teams will be matched up based on their standing in the league's power rankings. So the team that has the lowest power ranking would play the next lowest ranked team based on their power ranking.
Week 18 - Schedule is already done when the regular schedule is done. It's random and done by the commissioner. No match-up will be within their own division.
