The Draft
· This year you pick once. It will be a snaking draft which sounds
a little more fair.
· 14 rounds (Technically could cover year if you draft (2 QBs, 3 RBs,
3 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 Ks, 2 D/STs) and a lotta luck!
· 2 minutes per pick. Not 1 second more. If you go over, you will be
skipped 1 pick. I will have a timer.
· Each team will be responsible for running 2 rounds of the draft.
All you have to do is time the picks and put the players name on the
draft board.
The Roster
· Consist of 14 slots (Not mandatory but stupid not to keep it filled)
· Manditory (1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/STs). Must be filled
before the start, and maintained during the season.
· Injured Reserve1 slot. Just an empty slot that you may want to
use for a prospect or an unjured player. Each move is $5 per player
moved excluding
dropped players. Example, you pickup a player and through him directly
on your practice squad no fee. If you then throw him on your roster,
and put a player back on the practice squad $10. Basically each move
that effects your active roster there is a charge involved.
Lineups (MANDATORY CALL-IN) It's that simple.
· Owners must submit a lineup of exactly 1QB, 2RBs, 2WRs, 1TE, 1K,
and 1D/STs. Owners who fail to submit a lineup may be subject to a fine
of $10 to the pot (takin' from there cap money), 2nd offense $20 (from cap
money), 3rd offense, the owner may be subject to team elimination. If it
ever came to that, I will vote on team being eliminated.
· Lineups are due prior to the first kickoff of the first NFL game
of each week. If there's a Thursday game you must call-in or email the players
you are playing. If there's a Saturday Game...same thing...by gametime.
Remember just the players going is mandatory (you don't have
to submit your full line-up).
· If the owner fails to submit a lineup, you have NO lineup. If forget
to play your K, you have no K, your 2 RBs no RBs. etc..
*Note: You are responsible for getting your opponents lineup. I prefer that
you contact your opponent through email or phone for lineups (which
we all usually do anyway). There will be a lineup board for you to submit
your lineup. So just grab it from there.
*If you are cutting it close to gametime...please call to insure your lineup
is in. Sometimes servers go down and I may not get your lineup in time through
the lineup board or email... So call to insure it. I still want you to use
the message board any chance you get. It's just easier that way. Try
to get your lineup on the first try...I know things change, but it's just
a bigger pain in the but for me. Thanks.
The Transactions
· Preseason Free Agent Pickups (Anyday of the week)
- Free Agents are on a first come first serve basis, and will cost $5
each. This does not count against your salary cap.
- PRESEASON PICKUUPS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE email requests to dan@statfreaks.com
- Preseason pickups end on Wed, SEPTEMBER 7th, when the clock strikes
midnight.
· Free Agent Bidding (Monday to Thursday @ Midnight)
Rules - Each team will have a cap of $100 to spend
for 12 weeks.
- Bids must be whole number amounts $5, $6, etc (not $5.10, $5.11, etc)
- Bidding starts at $5 and go in increments of $1.
- You may change your bid throughout the week, but it can only increase
not decrease. Once you bid on a player, that's it, done deal, you can't
change your mind later and take the bid back.
- In case of a tie, bid will first go to the lesser team (1st-worse record,
then to worse points).
- Please leave all bids on my email (dan@statfreaks). Easier this
way.
- You must let me know who you are dropping at the time of your bid, so
have some idea who you are going to release in advance.
- I will try to email all the owners, but for sure the ones with the successful
bids. If not it will be posted by Thursday on my site.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC BID: All transactions have to
be one for one!
QB Terry Bradshaw ($5) drop RB Jarvis Redwine
RB Rocky Blier ($20) drop QB Danny White
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A BOGUS BID: (You can't tag the same dropped
player on more than one transaction!)
QB Terry Bradshaw ($5) drop RB Jarvis Redwine
RB Rocky Blier ($20) drop RB Jarvis Redwine
*Note: I will be emailing my bid to Mike cause he's one helluv
an honest guy.
*Another Note: You may acquire a FA after week 10, but only if the player
is listed as out. You must acquire the position you are replacing, ex.RB
for RB, WR for WR. Do to the importance of this, you may pickup
a player anytime until kickoff of the first NFL game of the week.
ex. If
there is a Thurs/Sat. game you must pick them up before then.
· Trades
- Any two owners may trade players up until the first kickoff of the
first NFL game on week 11.
- Cost of Trades is $3.00 per player traded, unless otherwise noted (ex.
owner agrees to pay the other owners trade fee, which is cool). So
...
- Commissioner reserves the right to deny an trade due to the following.
1. Commissioner believes trades are being used to cover bye weeks.
(ex. two owners trade players, and the following week they trade the same
players back.)
2. Commissioner believes two or more owners are working in conjunction
with each other to create an all star team. (The Conspiracy Theory)
3. If it is too tough to call, I will call at least 3 owners (not involved
in the trade) and take a vote.
4. Any team has the right to call a special jury if his trade was denied.
He must receive a majority of the votes which is 6 out of 10 teams.
The Tiebreakers
· Regular season games - a tie is a tie
· Playoffs - goes to total team pts, then least amount of total yards
against your Team Defense.
· Records -head-to-head record between all teams in the tie, divisional
record, then total points.
The Playoffs - weeks 15 & 16
· Top two teams in each division play. Winners to the FantasyBowl,
Losers to the ToiletBowl.
· Three other loser teams in each division will play for the Ultimatet
Loserl. Each team will submit a regular lineup for weeks 15 and
16; like usual. The team with the least amount of points combined
for the two games is the ultimate loser. This year there is no penalty
for the ultimate loser, it's bad enough that he is the ultimate loser
in the first place.
The Pro Bowl - week 17
· Back to the original Black 'n' Blue ProBowl game.
- Division Winners will coach the game. (If you don't want to the next
best coach will get it).
- Coaching consists of selecting and calling in lineup.
- Each team must consist of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/STs.
- Eeach team must also be represented (three teams will end up using two
players, the other two just one). Who gets to use two or one is all determined
by the Pro Bowl Coach!
- Each owner has a say in who he wants to play (you might want to give
the coach a few options or suggestions).
- Losers of the game are responsible for the refreshments for the following
years draft. The losing coach will be responsible and will get reimburst
from the other losers. $20/team
