Leagues: The league will consist of 14 franchises split into two 7-team divisions. You will play each team once. Except the protection league plays in division or out of division each week. Each roster can have up to 16 active players in any combination of positions. The most QB's on active roster = 5 (five). This rule is to keep teams from hogging QB's and forcing teams to make trades.
Injured Reserve: There is NO “injured reserve” in CFSL football except for the protection leagues.
Player Positions: All players may only be used at their designated CFSL positions. A running back may NOT play wide receiver. First priority for positions will be the CFSL draft sheet. If not on the sheet, we will use The Sporting News Pro Football Magazine.
Trades: All trades are free of charge. Team owners are free to contact each other regarding trades. (Please be sure to take into account what time zone you are calling.)
Once a trade is agreed upon, BOTH OWNERS must call in (or email) the same trade. (818) 891-1246. If the trade is confirmed on the transaction report on Friday, owners may use the new players immediately. Multiple-player deals are allowed. However, you can receive no more than four (4) players in any week via trades. You can trade away any number of players. No money, free agent picks or player to be named later trades are allowed. The commissioner has the power to veto any trade deemed unfair or not to be in the best interest of the league. A non-contending team cannot trade their best player to a contending team without EQUAL compensation being returned.
Trading Deadline: Week 10, Thursday, November 12, 2010 at 10:00 AM (PST)
Lineups: Each week you may start 1 QB, (2 RB’s and 3 WR’s) or (1RB and 4 WR’s) 1 Kicker, 1 Defensive Team, and 1 backup QB. Done on rtsports.com
>>>>TIGHT ENDS MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR WIDE
RECEIVERS!
OT Player: For leagues using the OT player, he can only be a QB, RB, WR,
or TE not used in your starting lineup.
Kickers and Defenses are not allowed.
Waivers: Once a player is waived, he is a free agent and may be signed the following week. THERE ARE NO CONDITIONAL OR ‘IF’ TRANSACTIONS OF ANY KIND.
Free Agents: All free agent signings are free of charge. Any player not on a league roster is a free agent. Every week, each team may sign one and only one free agent. If two or more teams try to sign the same player, the team with the worst record will get that player. If those teams have the same record, total points scored for the year will be next tiebreaker. You may list up to and no more than five (5) players in order of preference when calling (or emailing) in your free agent picks.
Make sure you have room on your roster when adding players or making multi-player trades.
Scoring: Your team’s score will be compared to that of your weekly opponent. A game that ends in a tie will result in a tie during the regular season. In the B-League there will be an OT (over time) player submitted. That overtime player can be any player not in your starting lineup and not a kicker or not a defense. If two teams are tied, the overtime player fantasy points for the week will be compared. If still tied, the game will result in a tie.
In the playoffs, the highest individual scorer of your starters will break the tie not including defense. If still tied, the next highest individual scorer etc.
Playoffs: The two division winners and the next best four teams (by record) will make the playoffs. The division winners will be seeded #1 and #2 and receive a bye in the first round. Wild card #3 will play #6 and #4 will play #5 with the lowest seed left playing #1 the following week.
Home Field advantage for the playoffs: The higher seed will get 1 point “HFA”. There will be no “HFA” for the finals. IF THE HIGHER SEED HAS A WORSE RECORD, THEN ‘0’ HFA. If two teams have identical records (ties are worth ½ Win and ½ loss), the higher seed still gets the HFA.
These leagues are for fun. They were not set up to see which team owner could rip off another team owner in a trade. I do not enjoy it when I have to veto a trade. Remember quality over quantity.
