League
Rules:
Regular
Season:
There is
only
ONE RULE in the regular season; there is NO BENCH.
There are policies, new, long established, and potentially in future that reenforce this lone rule. This
is an "active"
manager's league, not a "spectator" league. Specifically, a manager
MAY NOT deactivate (bench) any position on your roster. Your roster
MUST - AT ALL TIMES - contain the prescribed roster positions, ALL in activated (non-benched) status. Also, you may not have a player on your roster who is on Injured Reserve (IR).
Since this player cannot return to active status for the remainder of
the season, this constitutes a violation of the no bench rule. You may
however have a player on your roster who has been declared inactive for
a week or even weeks by his NFL team as his status to eventually return
is possible at some point. This is in effect like a bye or multiple
byes and is allowed.
The penalty (penalties) for violating this one rule are severe! In the event your
roster is EVER in violation of this rule the commissioner reserves
the right to penalize said team/manager as s/he sees fit. S/he may (without
notice) deactivate (bench) ALL the players in the affected position
group (WRs, RBs, etc.) and thereby zero out ALL SCORING for
those
affected positions. The
penalty will be as severe as possible (beyond zeroing out the highest
scorer in that position) to deter player hoarding or locking out a
player from other managers. In other words if you drop your Kicker and
have 4 RBs, the
commissioner will zero out (bench) ALL FOUR RB scores! - SO COMPLY!
If a Kicker or Defense is benched the highest scorer for the week may
be benched by the commissioner or benching the Defense the following
week may be an option - whichever is more severe. To
reiterate: the commissioner reserves
the right to penalize said team/manager as s/he sees fit. To avoid this keep your roster legal at all
times!
Other than this one rule (and the policies explained here that help enforce same), you
are limited only by the Yahoo settings. The Commissioner is merely
another manager in the league. However,
the
Commissioner may opt to help any manager with any Yahoo shortcoming,
glitch, or otherwise error including but not limited to games at
special times or days (Thursday games for example that may affect
waiver rights, etc.) where "normal" Yahoo actions are impaired (for
example if their sight is "down" and you want to make a transaction via
a timestamped email, message post, or phone call to the commissioner).
NOTE:
Yahoo may change a players (and thereby a Manager's) point totals
throughout the week. Changes made after Tuesday Morning 7:00 A.M. after
week 17 that affect final league standings will not be allowed, and
will be reversed by the Commissioner to preserve the league's standings
and playoff spots.
NOTE on Posting through the Yahoo Message Board: The Commissioner reserves
the right to block a manager from posting to the message
board or dumping one's roster (quitting, dropping players) at his
discretion. This does NOT prohibit rudeness, trash-talking, cursing or
other 'offensive' language as such is encouraged and is generally only
done in extreme cases to
prevent
abuses or protect the integrity of the league and/or league standings.
However, posts should pertain to the league and league business, the
NFL and its players, league rosters, strategies, or any other league
affiliated information or business. The board is not for endless
personal attacks or rhetoric between managers that have nothing to do
with the league or anything related to it. Use your myspace or personal
blogs pages, messaging services, or personal emails for said traffic.
Please don't crowd the message board with irrelevant postings. Repeat
offenders may be temporarily blocked from using the message board and
that could limit necessary communications - so don't do it.
League
Playoff Rules:
Playoff
drafts are tenatively scheduled for Thursday nights at 10:00 PM Central
Time but may be altered to accomodate participants.
Why have Rules? The newest changes, and/or critical info is usually in bold or red text...
Since our league's playoffs are internally controlled by us
and not by Yahoo (only way to have our playoffs during the NFL
playoffs) there have to be,
unfortunately, some rules. If
one is unclear or confused by these rules
one has all season to clarify same through the commissioner's office.
Each
rule has a purpose and all rules primary aim is to satisfy the league's
prime directive - to create a fair and evenly balanced playing field
among active and skilled managers utilizing no bench. Those of you that
have been here a while surely
remember the reason(s) when rules were added. For example: combining
the no drops
and no moves on gameday policies
prevent managers from
dropping players minutes before a game . The no-bench/deactivation
policies prevent managers from overdrafting roster
spots or having but not playing players to horde them and keep them
from other managers (the Trigun
Rule). These policies all
combined mean a manager does not need Internet access 5
minutes before
each and every game to pick up players dropped at the last minute.
The constant tinkering with the scoring module combined with
the primary no-bench
rule is designed to promote activeness by making it costly to keep
(bench-ing) players with injuries or byes and minimize "coattailing".
Still,
if anyone has any question as to why a certain rule exists, I will
be happy to explain with a reply. Or just post your query to the Yahoo
message board;
others will probably explain before I can.
The Playoffs (postseason)
begin Tuesday Morning 7:00 A.M. after
week 17. Any scoring changes posted by Yahoo that affect final
league standings after this deadline will not be allowed, and
will be reversed by the Commissioner to preserve the league's standings
and playoff spots. The regular season champion automatically qualifies;
the second and third place teams are invited to participate via the
message post board provided
they have met "active" status requirements as determined by the
commissioner and may possibly require acceptance of the invitation via
the message post
board. If a manager is more than 15 minutes late to the
initial
playoff draft, s/he will be replaced by the highest seeded alternate
present at the draft.
Before the initial playoff draft begins each participant must post that s/he has read and understands ALL the playoff rules. In this way if a manager makes an error and incurs a penalty or misses an opportunity, s/he has no defense.
You
alone are ultimately responsible for you roster and scores. It is
highly recommended YOU calculate and post your own scores
within 48 hours of the end of the final game of the round, or the
commissioner will post a score for you. You may challenge the accuracy
of any manager-posted score within 48 hours of those postings. If the commissioner has to post your score for you, you lose all challenge and appeal rights.
All scoring is calculated using official NFL.com statistics which
may vary from Yahoo (or other) statistics. For example Yahoo defines a
"lost" fumble as one the opposing team recovers as in a turnover. But
the NFL defines a "lost" fumble as one in which a player losses
possession and is recovered by any
other player, even from the same team, and not necessarily a turnover.
Other discrepancies may exist. The NFL.com website has made
errors before but has always corrected them within a few hours or by
the next morning. Any score may be challenged only via a post through the Yahoo message board. All challenges must
be made prior to
the first selection of the next draft round and must contain a
breakdown of statistics and point totals and will be checked
by the commissioner. Challenges to scoring in the Super Bowl must be
made within 24 hours after the conclusion of the game. If a challenge
is upheld the points will be corrected.
No Auto draft is acceptable
(the Insider
Information Rule - if the Commissioner is in the playoffs
said information may provide him an unfair advantage).
If one experiences
Internet problems and/or for some reason cannot attend the initial
draft, another manager or the commissioner may act as a proxy (i.e. via
telephone) for selections but ONLY after verifying this via a phone
call, email, or message post to the commissioner before the
playoff draft begins, thus
the 15 minute delay grace period. If one has no Internet access, email
access, or phone call access, then one WILL miss the opportunity to
participate and be replaced by the next highest seed present, with that
one (1) Championship Series Manager Point redirected to the
participating alternate.
The
initial draft will not begin until all the participants have posted
their "I have read and understand the rules" post AND the commissioner
posts "Begin the
draft." Each manager has a 3
minute time limit to make a selection.
At the end of 3 minutes if no selection is made the commission will
then post for the next manager to make his or her next selection. In
the past the Commissioner has been lenient with this time limit but
should he actually post for the next manager to make the next
selection, such an action IS FINAL (no exceptions - no "wait, wait, I
pick so and
so posts). It is advised
the next selector wait or at least make sure the previous pick is
obviously legal and has been
allowed and verified to make sure one's own attempted pick does not tip
one's hand should that previous pick be deemed invalid or unacceptable.
As
in the regular season there is no bench (The Golden Rule).
There are no Trades (the Leeboy Rule; eliminates
helping
other managers and potential proxy
teams).
All players are eligible for any
point totals, although a lot of scoring is position specific. Just
like Yahoo's regular season settings if a RB throws a TD pass he
gets those points. However, statistics (reception, rushing
attempt, yardage, INT, fumble, etc.) do
not count on two-point conversions (per NFL official stats) - only the
points for a successful 2-pt. conversion are awarded. This is not a new
rule but is included here for clarification.
Drops:
Players from losing teams are
automatically removed from your roster.
You may drop any PLAYER (except kickers and team defenses) for any reason (matchup/injury)
ONLY at the beginning of the 3 supplemental draft rounds BEFORE the
first selection is made. But you must do so before you post you are ready to begin the draft. You may never drop any player during or after the draft(s) for any
reason; however you may pick
up (add) ANY player ANY time BEFORE the DATE of that weekend's
FIRST game through the post message board at the Yahoo web site
provided you have an opening on your roster. These restrictions help assure a manager does not use his picks to "hoard" or 'lock out' a player from other managers.
Note:
The Kicker and Team Defense roster spots may not be dropped. By
drafting or adding these volatile position(s) you assume their full
risk-vs-reward potential as long as they win and remain on your roster.
Team Defenses that are charged with 21 or more points are not eligible
for 'supplimental' scoring points as defined in the playoff scoring
module shown below. Also, the "Kicker" position is a roster specific
position, not a player
specific position. ALL kicks by that Kicker's team count toward your
totals. A more accurate draft or add claim would read "place kickers -
ATL." You of course retain the option of not initially drafting, or
ever adding any roster spot, including either or both of these.
You may not inactivate (bench) a roster spot (the Trigun Rule).
You may not have a player on your roster who is on Injured Reserve (IR).
Since this player cannot return to active status for the remainder of
the season, this constitutes a violation of the no bench rule. You may
however have a player on your roster who has been declared inactive for
a week or even weeks by his NFL team as his status to eventually return
is at least technically deemed possible at some point. This is in effect like a bye or multiple
byes and is allowed.
There
are no waivers; all players not on an active roster are
Free
Agents, including those
dropped at the opening of the supplemental drafts.
* Playoff
Drafting:
Unlike
the regular season initial draft, the initial playoff draft round
goes by successive seeding (1,2,3,1,2,3,etc. till conclusion) and
officially ends once
all three participants have "passed" in succession, or selected all 10 appropriate roster spots.
One
may "pass" in one round of a draft, then pick in the next cycle but be
advised that three consecutive passes or non-picks officially ends
any draft round - at which time managers are free to pick players at
will and without sequence until the add deadline This could lead to a
free-for-all and be a mess and any posts made during such melee are
official, so be advised and be careful not to pass without
thinking. In the initial
playoff draft it is recommended (but not mandatory) all roster spots be filled.
If you wait till the last possible moment to add player(s) to your
roster (say in an effort to avoid an injury or no-start) you run the
risk of not filling your roster. Imagine a manager adding picks
up to the deadline via message board post, email or phone
not knowing someone else had already added that player moments earlier,
then time lapsing with a hole in your roster. Avoid any such confusion
on the busiest opening round by filling your roster in the initial
draft. Players
facing a bye are
allowed and will of course score a zero (0) in the initial round. The second round draft goes by successive seeding (2,3,1,2,3,1,etc. till conclusion)
and officially ends once
all three participants have posted a comment stating they are finished
- or three consecutive passes or non-picks
are made. The third round draft goes by successive seeding (3,1,2,3,1,2,etc. till conclusion)
and officially ends once
all three participants have posted a comment stating they are finished
- or three consecutive passes or non-picks
are made.
Note:
It is assumed seeded managers wish to use this format in player
selections; however, one may opt to select differently. For example the
#1 seed (regular season champ) may wish to draft first in the second or
third round but must make such claim at any time after the conclusion of
the regular season up until the beginning of the initial playoff draft only
through a post on the message board and is final - no exceptions! - as
changing then changing back may affect another manager's
strategy. In other words, and by seeding priority, a manager
can
select which
round s/he wishes to pick first. In that event, the picking order for those rounds are simply swapped. However, in the final round (Super
Bowl) the lowest scoring
team in the playoffs has first pick, followed by the
second team, and finishing with the team in first place in the
playoffs. This final round's selections are not by seeding but by scoring to
that point - inversely (last to first).
You
are allowed nine (9)
supplemental picks (and/or adds) collectively in ALL rounds after the initial draft has been completed. After any draft
you may pick
up (add) ANY player ANY time BEFORE the DATE of that weekend's
FIRST game through the post message board at the yahoo web site
provided you have an opening on your roster. This
method is timestamped and considered final. There is a maximum limit of four (4) picks (including adds) per round. Transactions
must have a prior date to gameday
on my computer. Are you smart enough to figure out this timeline
involves the midnight
hour - my time? At
this time I will try to post a "Rosters Frozen" message but
it is up to you to make sure any such time issue does not come into
play,
so don't try to wait until the last minutes or seconds (the Pulpman Rule). ANY
ADD constitutes a pick. Only
adds and supplemental playoff round picks
constitute a "pick." One
may opt to not
fill a roster spot during a draft so he or she may
add a player
after the draft but before the add deadline. In other words, one may
add a player up to the deadline but may not drop a player to add one. Notice there is no method
by
which one may wait until the last minute (on gameday) to add a player
to avoid a no-start, injury replacement, or
other roster change. When you draft or add a player you assume said
risk automatically. You do however have the option of not picking a
questionable player (or roster spot) at the draft then adding same before the deadline if
you wish - but you may not drop a player or roster spot to make room for any such add.
NO
draft pick or add is recognized or allowed without full
first
and/or last names, team affiliation, and position specified in the post
-
incorrect spelling is irrelevant with said information in the
post.
Draft "L.T." and I will recognize Lawrence Tynes - K - KC, and the
next player may draft that RB for San Diego. Let's call this one the Robbie Rule. "L.T. - RB - SD" is not acceptable; "L.Tomlinson - SD - RB" is acceptable. Call
it the Adrian Peterson
Rule (2 such names in the NFL - both RBs, or the CINN-Johnson Rule -
they have like 8 Johnsons on their roster with several having the same
initials - so at least one name, first or last, must be included
with your selection. In the CIN example a first and last name would be
advisable). The Commissioner need not "approve" every selection for the
draft to continue. If a selection is obviously legal
(example: Brady -
QB - NE) the next player may proceed without fear. But if in doubt
(examples: "A. Peterson - RB"; or "Johnson - QB - TB" [they had
two one year]) the next selector may opt for verification before proceeding.
Suppose CHI or MIN had made the playoffs and the other had not? Maybe
you're an idiot and didn't know. Trigums is gone; let's let the
childish BS part with him and
make the draft an easy and professional process.
.
Playoff Scoring Module
For
the playoffs a new simplified scoring module has been implemented. This
will make keeping up with your scores and your opponent's scores much
easier. Managers have nine (9) supplemental playoff picks.
There is a maximum limit of four (4) adds and/or supplemental draft picks per manager per round. As always 'drops' are only allowed at the beginning of and prior
to each supplemental draft round. Scoring is position specific
unless otherwise noted. Managers are highly encouraged to post their own scores
through the
Yahoo message board within 48 hours after the last game. Forty eight
hours after the end of the final game of the round, posted scores are
considered final. Challenges made by opposing managers to another
managers' score, within 48 hours of the score posting, and before the first pick of any next draft,
that are upheld,
are corrected by the commissioner. The commisioner monitors all scores
and will post scores for other managers that choose, or fail, to post
their own, with no review or appeal options for the un-posting manager.
The Kicker and Team Defense
roster spots may not be dropped.
By drafting or adding these volatile position(s) you assume their full
risk-vs-reward potential as long as they win and remain on your roster.
The "Kicker" position is a roster specific position, not a player
specific position. ALL kicks by that Kicker's team count toward your
totals. A more accurate draft or add claim would read "place kickers -
ATL." You of course retain the option of not initially drafting, or
ever adding any roster spot, including either or both of these.

With
the
exception(s) noted above the regular season settings hold true and are listed above. What to do, what to
