League Rules

Starting Lineup

By joining this League, you give your consent to receive SMS text messaging.

Each team must submit a starting lineup prior to the weekly lineup deadline. The lineup deadline is the kickoff time of the earliest NFL game involving any player in the submitted lineup. Once that player's game begins, the lineup becomes locked and no further changes may be made for that week.

If a lineup is not submitted by the deadline, the team's lineup from the previous week will automatically be used. If this occurs during Week 1, when no previous lineup exists, no lineup will be entered for that team.

Teams are expected to maintain competitive lineups each week. Repeatedly starting players who are inactive, injured, or on bye weeks may result in lineup adjustments at the discretion of the commissioner.

Position Starters
Quarterback (QB)1
Running Back (RB)2
Wide Receiver (WR)2
Tight End (TE)1
Flex (RB / WR / TE)1
Kicker (K)1
Defense / Special Teams (DEF)1

The Flex position may be filled by a Running Back, Wide Receiver, or Tight End.

Scoring System

Fantasy points are awarded based on player performance during NFL games. The following table outlines the primary scoring system used in the league.

Only players eligible for a fantasy roster position (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DEF) may generate fantasy points. Statistics recorded by players outside these positions, such as offensive linemen participating in trick plays, do not generate fantasy points unless that player is rostered at an eligible position.

Passing Yards1 point per 25 yards

Additional scoring rules may apply and are reflected in the league scoring system.

League Draft

The inaugural season will use a standard snake draft format, where the draft order reverses each round to maintain competitive balance.

In future seasons the league will operate using a keeper system. Teams may protect up to 10 players from their roster prior to the draft. Any player not protected will return to the draft pool.

Players may remain on the same team for a maximum of three seasons. After the third season, the player must re-enter the draft pool.

Franchise Declaration

Each team must declare their franchise status no later than 30 days prior to the annual draft.

Teams that fail to declare their status by the deadline may be considered inactive and their players may be released into the draft pool.

Keeper Declarations

Teams that choose to retain players must declare their protected players no later than 7 days before the draft.

Each team may protect a maximum of 10 players from their roster.

If a team does not submit keeper selections before the deadline, all players on that roster will automatically be released into the draft pool.

Tiebreakers

In the event of a tie in a weekly matchup, the following tiebreakers will be used:

If a playoff matchup ends in a tie, the winner will be determined using the following tiebreakers:

Waiver Wire and Free Agents

Players who are not currently on a roster are considered free agents and may be added according to the league's waiver rules.

Players dropped from a roster will remain on waivers for 24 hours. During this period teams may submit waiver claims.

If multiple teams submit claims for the same player, the player will be awarded based on waiver priority. After a successful claim, that team moves to the bottom of the waiver order.

Players who clear waivers without a claim become free agents and may be added on a first-come, first-served basis.

The commissioner reserves the right to reverse transactions that violate league rules or occur due to technical errors.

Sportsmanship and Competitive Integrity

All managers are expected to operate their teams in good faith and maintain competitive lineups throughout the season.

Trades must be made with the intent of improving both teams involved. Trades that appear intentionally unbalanced or collusive may be reviewed by the commissioner.

Roster dumping, defined as intentionally weakening a team to benefit another team, is strictly prohibited.

Repeated violations may result in reversal of transactions or removal from the league.
