Each team will play it's division foes twice and one other foe twice(determined by the order of finish in the previous season) and each other team once for a total of fourteen games. Each owner MUST turn in a lineup each week, even if you are playing the same lineup. This must be done by the point and click method on your team roster webpage. In the event that the website is down, a phone call to the comissioner or the team you are playing will suffice. Your lineup must be turned in at least 10 minutes prior to the first game of the week. If you fail to turn in a line up for more than two weeks during the season, you will are subject to being voted out of the league for non participation.

Owners fees are due one week before the draft. If your dues are not received by this time, your team will have a new owner at the draft! Fees are $50 dollars. Each division winner will receive $25. Wild Card winners get $12.50. Position leaders get $5. Fantasy Bowl winner gets $243.75 and the loser gets $81.25. $65 will go to the new software and $10 will go to the trophy for engraving.

The draft will be held at noon two Sundays before the regular NFL season begins. In the event the league has more than one new owner, all NFL players from teams that are without an owner will be pooled. The new owners will select one, two, or no players to place under contract from this pool. The order of selection will be determined by lottery draw. There will be two supplamental rounds to the draft for owners to build their rosters to two players. The pool for the supplamental draft will consist of all players not under contract.

Ties during the season remain ties. If two teams are tied in record for the playoffs, the first tiebreaker is head to head games, then division record, then conference record, then total points for the season. During the playoffs ties will be broken by bench scoring.

Rosters consist of 18 players. Four draft choices must be defensive players. Only nine players will start each week. You must start a QB, TE, K, and two D. You must start a combination of four RB and WR. This means you may start one RB and three WR or three RB and one WR or two and two.

There are some very simple rules of trading and signing players that seem to confuse owners every year, so I will try to make them as simple as possible.
