will be 3 rocks for an add/drop combination and trades will be 2 rocks
per player.
Each week, you may pick up any player not currently on an FFL roster.
If more than one team wants a particular player, the team with the
worst record gets the player. For teams with the same record the lowest
total number of points scored will be given the first pick.
To pick up a player, you must inform the Commissioner (via website) of
your transaction by noon on Saturday. Trades can be completed up to
noon on Sunday but stll need to be approved by the Commissioner.
All lineups are due by noon on Sunday and must be input on the website.
No trades can be made after week 12 of the NFL season and add/drops are
allowed throughout the FFL season, including the playoffs.
IV - Regular Season Schedule and Playoffs
There are three divisions of four teams a piece. Each team plays every
team in their division twice and every team in the league once (except one).
Six teams make the playoffs. The winners of each division
and then the top three remaining teams, regardless of their division.
The top two division winners have a bye for the first week of the playoffs.
While the #3 team plays the #6 team and the #4 team plays the #5 team.
For the second week of the playoffs, the #1 team plays the worst seeded
winner of the first week of playoffs. The #2 team plays the other winner.
For the third week of the playoffs, the winners of the second week play
for the championship and the losers play in the consolation game.
All games will be decided by which team scores the most points. A tie
counts as a tie during the regular season. If there is a tie in the
playoffs, the better seeded team gets the win. If there is a tie in the
Super Bowl, the two teams will play again the following week. If there
is another tie, the two teams will split the
money.
