Rules

The premise of the league is very simple. You can only use a player ONCE for the entire season and must fill out a roster each week using unique players. Example: Week 1 you select Aaron Rodgers as your Quarterback. You can no longer use Aaron Rodgers for the remaining 17 weeks of the season.

You will fill out your roster to comport with the following positions:

QB RB RB WR WR WR TE K D

Process:

Navigate to the “My Roster” tab and use it to fill out your roster. You MUST use the autocomplete/drop-down menu of players. This is as simple as typing “Derri-” into the running back slot and clicking on Derrick Henry if you wish to choose him. This is important to ensure that players are appropriately accounted for to comply with the repeated player element. Failure to use the autocomplete will result in a 0 for that position for that week. In the instance that a player you want to select is not in the drop-down menu, please contact me and we will address it.

If you attempt to use a player that you’ve already used, a message will pop up at the bottom informing you that you have “Repeated Players”. At this point, you can correct your current roster. Once a given week has passed, it will be locked and uneditable.

Once you have managed your roster for a given week, the hard part is done! The roster will auto-populate into the “This Week” and will be published at 1 PM EST. Each week will have its own tab that will be hidden until it is published. This ensures that no one has a competitive advantage, seeing their opponent’s roster.

You may not retroactively play any players. For example, on Friday, you may not select a Thursday Night Football player who already played. This applies to morning and afternoon games too. I.e you may not choose a morning player after those games have begun.

Beginning this year, we will be introducing a penalty for failure to submit a roster. Each time that you do not submit a roster you will be fined $15 (payable via Venmo). If there are continuing penalties there will be escalating fines/ discussion of removal from the league. This penalty will even be enforced if this were a “strategic” no-show lineup. The bottomline is that there is an expectation to submit a competitive and complete roster each week.

Point Scoring:

This a very standard Point Per Reception (PPR) league. Nothing should come as a surprise when you look at end of game boxscores and subsequent fantasy scores. Four points are earned for passing touchdowns while six points are awarded for receiving touchdowns.

Playoffs:

The top 14 teams will make the playoffs, while the remaining will miss the playoffs. Each division winner automatically earns a spot. The regular season top scorer also secures a spot. The remaining wildcard spots will be given to those teams in this tie-breaking order: 1) overall record 2) points scored and 3) head to head. The top two seeded teams will receive a one-week bye.

The league will run for the full 18-week regular season of the NFL. Our regular season will consist of weeks 1-14. The playoffs will begin on week 15 and continue until the Championship game on week 18.

Payouts

The buyout will be $30 a team. Division winners will get their money back. The remaining pot will be split accordingly: Overall top scorer: $100

3rd place: $75

2nd place: $200

1st place: $400
