Johnny Marcus Football League (MFL)
Rosters
Each team consists of 9 position slots: 1 Team QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Team K, 1 DEF, 1 Wildcard.
- Wildcard can be WR/RB/TE/K/DEF.
- Team QB and K are the players on the NFL roster as a QB and K.
- If a RB, WR, or TE throws a touchdown, the points go to the passing and the receiving player.
Draft
Standard Snake Draft
- Wildcard position cannot be drafted until after the 5th round of drafting is completed. (Adopted 2013)
Waivers
Tumble waiver order: Initial waiver order is reverse of league draft order. First pick in draft gets last waiver priority, etc. A team is placed at the end of priority queue after making a waiver claim.
- Teams must drop a player when putting in for a claim. When placing a waiver claim on RTSports, owners must check the box of the player they intend to drop permanently or place on IR. Once a player is committed to IR, he is ineligible for the week.
- A player may only be placed on IR for the week for a bye, suspension, or reasonable injury concern (limited in practice, did not practice, injured on previous Sunday or did not play). Owners cannot remove the player from IR and place him back in their lineup for the same week for any reason, otherwise the player’s points will be deducted from the team’s total score. When the week is over owners can elect to keep the replacement player and drop the player on IR, or any other player on your roster as long as the end result is a valid Starting Lineup, by noon on Wednesday with no players on the IR. Example player A is on a bye or injury. Team picks up Player B. Team can decide to keep player B and drop player A from the IR. or any player on your roster as long it results in a valid starting lineup (Adopted 2024)
Teams will have the option to be put Team Qb on IR if they are injured just like any other player (Adopted (2024)
Every Teams Roster needs to be returned to a Valid 9 Player Starting Lineup by Noon Wednesday. Which means all IR players must be returned to the starting lineup or dropped. If this is not done, the commissioner will drop the replacement player and move the IR player into the starting lineup. The team will then be penalized by being unable to participate in the waiver process for the week, only the free agent period AND they will go to the bottom of the waiver list the following week. (Adopted 2024)-
- When a permanent player is dropped either Wednesday night via waivers or any other day of the week, he cannot be picked up that week via free agency. He will be made available via waivers the following week.
- When a player is picked up either via waivers on Wednesday or free agency and then is dropped before Sunday, that player will be made available 24 hours from when he is dropped via free agency.
o If the player is dropped after Saturday at 9am Pacific, he becomes a protected free agent until Sunday at 9am Pacific (1 hour before game time) at which point he is made available via free agency.
The roster limit on RTSports is set to 9 - RT won't let teams pick up a 10th player unless someone is on IR. When making waiver claims for the week, owners can simultaneously put in for a weekly player and place another player on IR using the claim function on RTSports. If the player is not rewarded, no one is placed on IR.
Players are awarded on Wednesday night. Deadline for waiver wire submission on Wednesday is 6pm Pacific.
After players are awarded, unrestricted free agent moves begin Wednesday night at 10pm Pacific
