Rules of the Game

~Fantasy Football Sports World League Bible 2001~

Rule #1- Each franchise owner shall submit a starting line-up to the league commissioner prior to the first kick-off of each Sunday. If you fail to do so, then your line-up from the week before will be used regardless if your players are on a bye week or not.

Rule #1A- Exception to Rule #1, when there are Thursday and Saturday games, you must notify the league commissioner on which players you wish to start prior to kick-off of those games. Failure to do so, will make the player ineligible for the entire week, even if they were in last weeks line-up. This rule will be strictly enforced. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

Rule #2- You must designate a "HIGH POINT" player each week as a tie breaking method. Failure to do so, will result in the highest round draft pick in your line-up that week, to be selected. In the event of a tie after that, then it will proceed to your 2nd round pick from the original draft, in your lineup. And so on. There will be no ties after each week for league standings purpose.

Rule # 3- If two or more franchise owners wish to trade players, they may do so. A trade becomes official on Sundays only. When all parties involved have paid their money at the meeting, @ the Sunday morning breakfast. Trades will take place after transactions and before the commissioner leaves. A trade can be vetoed if someone at the meeting thinks this is a lopsided deal. A vote then will take place of the owners that are present. MAJORITY RULES!!!! Trades will end Week #10.

Rule #4- If a player is not on a Fantasy team, he is considered a free agent off the waiver wire. There will be a transaction order in which you may sign a new player. Each time you sign a new player, you must release one. Each signing of a player will cost $2.00. You must have the money at the meeting in order to sign someone.(Must not exceed the roster limit at each position) Transactions will end when your mathematically eliminated from contention, also on Week #15. (which ever comes first)

Rule #5- The schedule and conference/division alignments shall be prepared by the league commissioner. All teams will play a 13 week regular season, with the final weeks of the NFL season, reserved for a single-elimination playoff tournament for the teams finishing with the better over-all, conference, and division records.

Rule #6- The following is used to decide which teams will go to the playoffs.

Conference winner: 1. Overall-record 2. Conference record 3. Head to Head record 4. Most points scored.

Division winner: 1. Overall-record 2. Division record 3. Head to Head record 4. Most points scored

Wild Cards: 1. Overall-record 2. Conference record 3. Head to Head record 4. Most points scored

**NOTE- A total of six teams make the playoffs (three from each conference)

Rule #7- Rules maybe revised or added, but only during the off season and with a MAJORITY vote by the franchise owners. Rules may ONLY be changed during the regular season by a UNANIMOUS vote by ALL franchise owners.
