League Rules
Gridiron League🏈This will be an 18 team, 6 division league
1. Initial Draft- Each owner will pick a letter A-I which will determine their draft order in each conference. AFC goes A to I, NFC goes I to A. Your rosters will be loaded after team selection. Each owner will get 1 AFC team and 1 NFC team. Following the franchise draft will be a 4 round quick draft to fill holes on your rosters. Players in this draft will come from teams not taken in the draft. The draft order will be determined by the team's actual record. Tiebreaker is point differential.
2. Rosters- Each team has a 53 player limit and will keep each player until he is cut or retires. Players are obtained through the original franchise draft, future preseason drafts, or trades. For now there will be no free agency, but that is subject to change in the future. Duplicates will only be allowed with initial roster imports.
3. Trades- Each team can make up to 5 trades per season. Trading of draft picks and between your two teams are not allowed. The commish reserves the right to reverse uneven trades.
4. Sims and training- We will sim a game every 24 hours and training will last for 1 game.
5. Schedule and divisions- Each team will play 14 games, 2 against each team in their own conference.
Conferences will be broken up into two 4 team divisions, East and West.
6. Playoffs- 2 division winners as well as 2 wildcard teams in each conference make the playoffs. The top division winner plays the wildcard team in round 1, regardless of the wildcard team's record. Tie breaker is point differential. If still tied, then head to head
7. Injuries and fatigue- Injuries and fatigue will be used in the league. Injuries will be set at a max of 2 games.
8. Progression, retirement, stat change - Peak age will be set at 27 and regression at 31. Free agents will be retired at age 30 if AV is 5 or lower. Otherwise they can be kept as long as you like. Each off-season you may change your players to their current season as you like. If anyone has questions about how to do that, let me know.
9. Drafts- Each off-season will be a 2 round slow draft of all incoming rookies and previously unowned players. This will be followed by a 2 round quick draft. The trading of draft picks is not allowed.
10. New teams are not allowed to be brought in
Some leagues use fictional player progression. To learn more about how players progress, check the Player Potential page.
