Rules Welcome Page



The Wildcat Offense League

League Summary:
Welcome to the Wildcat Offense league. In addition to including a ridiculously
large active roster, the bench will be very short, keeping the waiver wire stocked and forcing difficult bye week decisions on all of us.

Here's the crazy twist: At the end of each week, the highest and lowest scoring teams for the week will have the opportunity to change the league wide scoring for a single category by +1 or -1.

There will be twelve teams, and the entry fee will be $50.

No roster position limits. Open trading, no league vote.

League will start with 4 per passing TD, 6 per rushing/receiving TD, 1 point per reception, and standard yardage scoring. All scoring will be set individually by position, so the high/low scorers will have the option of adding/subtracting a scoring point for ONE POSITION ONLY.

That person could, for instance, add a point per reception for tight ends, or maybe subtract 1 point from touchdowns for running backs. No negative scoring would be allowed, so the scoring basement for any category would be zero. No ceilings.

Cumulative yardage scoring will be set in stone, and not eligible for the weekly scoring changes. However, the yardage bonuses will be eligible in the +/- categories. One could add a point to the QB 300 yard passing bonus, or subtract a point from the WR 100 yd receiving bonus. The scoring basement of 0 still applies for these categories, too.

For negative scoring categories, like missed field goal, or fumble lost, the negative scoring can be adjusted, but with a ceiling of zero.

The only category without a zero ceiling/basement is Passer Sacked. If your QB has a poor o-line and gets sacked a lot, it can be a positive score. If your QB doesn't get sacked, and you want there to be a penalty, it can be negative.

The bench will be very short with only four slots. With twelve teams and so many active players, I don't want the waiver wire to be completely barren. With bye weeks, teams will sometimes have to drop good players or field players who have the week off. Tough decisions will have to
be made. I like this.

Entry fee is $50 (x12=$600)
1st place wins $300,
2nd place wins $140
CBS Membership: $160

Keeper options: None, redraft every year.

Waiver Wire:

All free agent players will be on waivers from Sunday @ 12pm until waivers clear @ 1am Wednesday. Between then and the following Sunday, the free agent pool is open (all applicable players are off waivers) and players may be added at any time.

Rosters have 10 active, 4 reserve, 2 injury reserve. No position limits.

Playoffs:

Playoff teams will be determined by record of wins and losses. There will be three divisions with one division champion in each, plus Three wild card teams for a total of six teams making the playoffs. Seeding order will be determined by record. (Winning Percentage)

In the event of a tie the following tiebreakers will be used.

For Division Champion:
1. Division Record
2. Head to Head Record
3. Points Scored
4. Points Against
5. Coin Toss

For Wildcard:
1. Head to Head Record
2. Points Scored
3. Points Against
4. Coin Toss

Seeding For Losers Tournament - The Toilet Bowl

1. Worst Record
2. Points Against (most seeds higher)

Seeding will be division winners as 1-3, wild card as 4-6, using the tiebreakers above to determine ranking.

Wildcards may come from any divisions including all from one division. Teams with the higher seeding will be awarded home-field advantage for each playoff match-up. Each playoff match-up will run from Tuesday-Monday.

In the event of a tie in a playoff match-up, the team with more points from its reserve (a.k.a. "bench") players will get the victory. If there is still a tie, the team with the home-field advantage gets the victory.

Playoff brackets will be as follows:

Rd. 1:
#3 vs. #6 (Loser eliminated)
#4 vs. #5 (Loser eliminated)

Rd. 2
#1 vs. Lowest seed (Loser eliminated)
#2 vs. Remaining team (Loser eliminated)

Rd. 3
Winners Rd 2

In the round three winner’s bracket, that winner will take the 1st place prize of $300, and the loser will take the 2nd place prize of $140.

For teams that do not qualify for the playoffs, a loser's tournament will be held, with seeding set by worst record as highest seed, tiebreakers by points against. This tournament will determine draft picks 1-6 the next year. Picks 7-12 will be reverse order of the winner's tournament's seeding, not final results.

ADD/DROPS:

Throughout the season, an owner may want to improve their roster by adding free agent players and releasing players that aren't performing to their expectations. With three exceptions, there are no limits to the number of Add/Drops an owner can perform, and there are not any transaction fees.

1. The first exception is when an owner drops his entire team or a significant number of players, also known as "team dropping". Team dropping has a negative impact on the league and as such, any owner who elects to drop his team could be subject to immediate removal from the league, subject to the vote of the other owners. Players selected from waivers or added from free agency that were part of a team drop may be reversed. In such move reversals, the waiver ranks will not be reset, and changes will go into effect for the week in question.

2. The second exception is abuse of the waiver process. This is when a team owner adds then drops a series of players, putting those players on waivers and making them inaccessible to other team owners. Such an action could result in forfeiture of points as well as that team owner being blocked from making any additional add/drops for the remainder of the season.

3. The third exception is dropping of stud players. This league will not provide a specific list of players that cannot be dropped. However, teams dropping stud players may have a negative impact on the league if it is done to allow another team to gain advantage because of waiver order. Also known as “passing players” dropping of stud players will be reviewed on a case by case basis, and should an impropriety be suspected, a league vote will determine if the drop was reasonable or not. If the league determines the dropped player should NOT have been dropped the transaction involved will be reversed and the owner in question will be subject to league vote.

If any of these situations occur, please contact the league commissioner as soon as possible.

DISABLED LIST:

Two spots. Only players tagged by CBS as IR/DL will be movable to the injury spots.

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. Every night between 12:00am ad 6:00am ET a waivers process will be run, executing the pending requests in “Waiver Rank” order. All transactions during the waiver process are effective for the next scoring period.

The team with a waiver rank of 1, considered the highest, will get its first requested player from waivers. After the transaction is executed, the team's waiver rank is then set to 12 (last), and all other teams move up one. The initial waiver rank of the season is based on the reverse order of the draft. The team that selected last in the first round of the draft will have a waiver rank of 1.

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. If a team doesn't have any pending transactions, or all players requested were taken by other teams, or the owner simply didn't request any players, there isn't any penalty and the team's waiver rank will not be changed.

Players who have cleared the waivers process are available for immediate adding between between Wednesday at 1 AM and Sunday at Noon. After lineups lock on Sunday, ALL FREE AGENTS ARE BACK ON WAIVERS UNTIL Wednesday at 1am. When Thursday Night Football begins, players from those teams will go on waivers early.

TRADES:
Trade approve instantly. If multiple complaints are raised, the commissioner will review and decide whether to overturn. Commissioner rulings are final.

Double Flex IDP PPR Keeper Option League

League Summary:

The 12 teams in this league each start 8 offensive and 7 defensive players, with 1 flex spot on each side of the ball. The regular season is 13 weeks. Each team will play 3 matchups each week, for a total of 39 matchups per team during the regular season. Playoffs are standard, with 3 division winners, 3 wild cards, top 2 seeds on bye in week 14, and run from weeks 14-16. Ties in the standings are resolved by division record, then head to head, then total points. The 6 eliminated teams will play a bottom bracket playoff tournament for draft seeding the following season.

Entry fee is $50 (x12=$600)
1st place wins $300,
2nd place wins $140
CBS Membership: $160

Keeper options: (to begin 2nd season, obviously)

Each team may keep 2 players: 1 offense, and 1 defense. The offense keeper replaces the 2nd round draft pick. Defense replaces the 8th round draft pick. Keeper players must be released into the draft pool after playing 2 years for a team. (This includes the original drafted year played, so essentially, a player can only be kept for a second year on your roster.)

Waiver Wire:

All free agent players will be on waivers from Sunday @ 12pm until waivers clear @ 1am Wednesday. Between then and the following Sunday, the free agent pool is open (all applicable players are off waivers) and players may be added at any time.

Scoring is CBS/NFL standard, plus 1 point per reception, w/ Individual Defense Player Scoring, and therefore, no DST/ST.

Rosters have 15 active, 8 reserve, 2 injured reserve.

Roster Limits: Max 2 QB, 4 RB, 3 TE

As a PPR league, we start a total of four receivers each week: 2 wideouts, 1 tight end, and a flex wideout/tight end.

After lineups lock on Sunday, ALL FREE AGENTS ARE BACK ON WAIVERS UNTIL Wednesday at 1am. When Thursday Night Football begins, players from those teams will go on waivers early.

TRADES:
Trade approvals in this league are very simple. If half the league thinks it is a trade that gives one team an unfair advantage over the rest of the league it gets voted down. Otherwise, it goes through. That being said, a vote of 5 vetoes will be required to kill a deal in a league with 12 owners. (50% of other 10 teams) As a result, most trades tend to go through unlike most public leagues. (that means 4 objections are allowed) The voting will end after a 24 hour window, which begins at the first midnight after the trade is accepted.
