League Rules
NFL Losers LeagueThe league will be made up of the biggest losers of the early 80's (1980 - 1985). There will only be one of each of the qualifying franchises allowed. Future players will come from the players actually drafted by the franchise, whether they played with the franchise or not, starting with the 1986 draft. These players will be added after 1 season of our original rosters. Starting in 1991, there will be a 1 round supplemental draft from among the worst NFL teams not in the league. Draft order is worst to first.

Progression and rosters
This is a classic progression, no contracts league. Players will progress until age 28 and start regressing at age 32.
Duplicate players are allowed from the original rosters. We will have 53 man rosters. Also, stat change will be available starting in 1986 for that season and then subsequent seasons. Keep in mind, when changing a player's stats, he ages to that season.
Free Agency and trades
There will be no free agency. There are unlimited trades but the commish reserves the right to reverse uneven trades.
Injuries and fatigue
Injuries will be set at 2 games max and fatigue will be used.
Training
Training will be used and good for 1 game
Sims
Sims will run every 24 hours
Schedule and playoffs
We will have an 18 game schedule in which each team plays all the others twice. There are no bye weeks. There will be two conferences, AFC and NFC. The top two teams out of each conference gets into the playoffs. Ties will be broken by head to head record, followed by best point differential.
Reserve list
In the event a player is drafted by a team but doesn't play that season (or the next few after), they are put on a reserve list and join the team in the season they play their first game. This player is reserved for that team even if they didn't end up actually playing for that team.
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.
