Rounding will NOT be used when calculating points from statistics. For example, 49 yards rushing will be awarded 4 points

Scoring will be the total points based on NFL player results from your roster for the week

FREE AGENTS

Throughout the season you may want to improve your roster by adding available free agents and releasing players that are not performing up to your expectations. There is no limit to the amount of Add/Drops you make. You can submit a free agent request at any time except for the period between the start time of the first game of the week (usually Thursday but occasionally Wednesday) through the completion of Monday Night Football

WAIVERS

In order to provide an equal opportunity for all owners to add players that are new to the free agent pool, a Waivers process is used. Owners' requests to add players on waivers are not executed immediately, but are put in a pending status for at least 24 hours. This allows multiple teams to request the same players. The team that will receive that player will be based on the Waiver Rank order

WAIVER RANK

During the waiver process, pending transactions are processed in Waiver Rank order. The team with a waiver rank of 1, considered the highest, will get its first requested player. Teams will be arranged in waiver rank according to the standings. The team who is last place in the standings will be ranked number one for waivers while the first-place team will be ranked last for waivers. Once the highest ranked team for waivers chooses a player, they drop down to the bottom of the waiver list in order for the second person to choose a player. This process will be repeated until all transactions have occurred for that day. Once the day’s transactions have been completed the waiver order will be reset once again to the current league standings. If a team's highest pending transaction becomes invalid because another team received the requested player, the transaction gets deleted and the team's next transaction, if one exists, becomes that team's highest

HOW TO WIN

In the Head-to-Head match up, the team with the most cumulative fantasy points will be awarded a win. A win is worth 2 points in the season standings. If the two teams are tied at the end of the week then each team will be awarded 1 point. Final regular season standings will be determined by: Win/Tie Points, then by Total Fantasy Points

PLAYOFFS

The final regular season standings will be broken down into Tiers based on the number of teams we have in the league. You will play against the other teams in the Tier you ended up in. The winner of the Tier will receive a cash prize. Most teams who end up in Tier #1 will receive cash prizes depending on how they finish. So no matter how bad you do during the regular season there is always a chance to redeem yourself in the post season

Please note: we do not have ties in playoff games. If there is a tie the team who was ranked higher in the regular season standings will be granted the win.
