Scoring:  Points to be calculated to three decimal places and will be reported as whole numbers in the standings chart.

If a touchdown is scored by a special team of one owner and the the individual who scored is owned by another... BOTH FANTASY TEAMS WILL RECEIVE THE POINTS.

Formation:  14 Teams (three divisions East, Central, and West) is our Goal.  Please note, there have been seasons were only 12 or 13 teams have participated.  Payouts will be adjusted accordingly if we have less than 14 teams.

Draft Day:  For 2024 is Saturday, August 31st, via MyFantasyLeague.com in Jacksonville, FL.  Directions to follow.

Draft Order: Unless a vote occurs to pick the order early, the order will be drawn and announced on Draft Day.  Divisions will be determined by the draft order, 1-2-3...1-2-3...  Meaning, 1's, 2's, and 3's will be matched together to create said divsions. 
The draft order will reverse round by round, "up and down the ladder." (Example: If you pick 1st in the 1st round you will pick 14th in the  second round, 1st in  the third round, 14th in the fourth round etc.)  Please note, a player's position as listed on the Draft Day Sheet is his position in the OFFL (suggestion:  check your week 1 roster after the draft).

Draft Time Per Round:  2 minutes is allowed for each team to draft their player per round.  We will keep time manually at our chosen "live location" rather than risk any software override.  Those drafting online will receive a warning that time is about to expire from the time keeper.  If you cannot make the draft, please have someone draft in your place (a human).  If a team fails to have representation at the draft (in person or online), Auto-Draft will not be allowed.  Therefore, that team will be removed from the draft order and will forfeit that season in the OFFL.

Starting Lineups:  Starting rosters need to be in by
1:00pm eastern on Sunday (This includes Monday night also.)  For Wednesday/Thursday games- players will lock in by game time
. For example, if you have a guy on the bench that you want to play that upcoming Thursday- he will be locked on the bench when the Thursday game starts if you have not moved him. Of course if he started for you the week before and you fail to place him on  your bench- he will lock in as starter by the start of the Thurday game.  Pay close attention to the NFL schedule.

Trading:  All trades will be approved by the Commissioner's Office.  If the trade involved the Commissioner, the Assistant Commissioner will review the trade.  If an owner objects to the trade, please reach out to the commissioners.

Trade Deadline:  Trading will cease at 12:55pm eastern, Sunday, Week 9.

Playoffs:  Start in week 14 and go 3 weeks, based on a 14 team league.  We will adjust accordingly if we have less than 14 teams.

Free Agency:  Free agent pickups will be allowed during the playoffs (teams out of the playoffs are not allowed to release players.)  All regular season releases will be cautiously monitored due to this rule.

MAKING THE PLAYOFFS

There Will Be a 6 Team Playoff Consisting of:
     - The Three Division Winners (top 2 teams get a first round bye)

     - The Top Two 2nd Place Divsion Winners (with the best records, followed by most points forced if nececcary)
     - WILDCARD/Sixth Seed is not based on record. 
       This is reserved for the remaing team with the most "points forced" during the regular season.

12:55pm, Sunday, Week 14: Adding/Dropping of players will only be performed via Fee Agency.  Free agent pickups will be allowed during the playoffs (teams out of the playoffs are not allowed to release players.) Any dumping of players at the end of the season by teams will be monitored by the Commissioner's Office to avoid collusion.

PAYOUTS (Based on a 14 team league).

TOP 3 HIGHEST SCORES WEEKLY

Playoffs

The weekly payout system allows an owner the opportunity to recoup their team investment and promotes weekly engagement as the spoiler (this is not a guarantee, you better study).  On top of the possible payouts listed above, the League Winner will receive $740 plus the pot generated from waiver pool.  (As an example, lets say there are 150 transactions on the waiver wire during the season - This equates to $750 in the pot.)  Final payouts will vary based on waiver/free agent activity.
 

Payouts will reduce/adjust if the league ever falls below 14 teams.  The goal is to retain 14 teams, we did play one season in the past with 10 teams and had to adust/reduce the payouts.


If you have any questions about the rules or winnings, please reach out the the Commissioner.  Also note, there is an accounting section built into MyFantasyLeague that allows each owner to review their team's ledger.  Let the good times roll!
