League Play

Two separate leagues would be run with the same roster and starting line up. They are
a. Points League
b. Head-to-head (H2H) League




Starting Line-ups

Each team would set a starting lineup for every week of the NFL regular season. A player could be included in the starting line up from within 5 minutes of the start time of the game the player would be playing. If the game has already been started or if there is less than 5 minutes, the player may not be included in the starting line up.

For example: If Carolina begin their match at 1 PM EST, Jake Delhomme cannot be included as a starter after 12:55 PM EST.

Each team can fill up a position only once every week. If a player has started a position, he cannot be replaced till the next week.

For example: If a manager has both Byron Leftwich and Damon Huard in his/her team, and coincidentally, Jacksonville play on Sunday and Kansas City play on Monday, a manager cannot start Leftwich on Sunday, and then start Huard on Monday.

However, if a manager has Chris Chambers and Mark Clayton in his/her team, and Miami play on Sunday while Baltimore play on Monday, a manager can start Chris Chambers as WR1 on Sunday and start Mark Clayton as WR2 or Flex on Monday.

Points League

The Points League runs from Week 1 to Week 17 of the NFL Regular Season. Each week, every manager sets a starting line up and the players score points for their manager based on the scoring system. At the end of the 17th week, the team with the maximum points is declared the 'Points League Champion'.

Head-to-Head League

The H2H League runs from Week 1 to Week 16 of the NFL Regular Season. It comprises of H2H Regular Season (Week 1 to Week 13 of NFL Regular Season) and H2H Playoffs (Week 14 to Week 16 of NFL Regular Season).

Each manager would go against another manager in the league based on an agreed upon schedule.

Regular Season

The League is split to 2 conferences. The American Football Conference and The National Football Conference with 5 teams in each conference. During the H2H Regular Season, each team would play all teams in their conference twice and all teams in the other conference once. Each match could end in a win, loss or tie (half-win, half-loss). The team that gets the maximum number of points that week is the winner. After a total of 13 regular season games, the H2H enters the Playoffs.

Playoffs

During the H2H Playoffs, two parallel Bowl Series are run. The Championship Bowl and the Super Bowl.



Champions Bowl Series
6 teams participate in the Championship Bowl. At the end of the H2H regular season, 2 Conference Champions (Seeds 1 & 2), 2 Conference Runner-ups (Seeds 3 & 4) and 2 Wild Card Teams (Seeds 5 & 6 - based on Maximum Points Scored by a non-Conf-Champ/non-Conf-Runner) are chosen.

Week 14 - Seed 3 vs Seed 6 - Seed 4 vs Seed 5
Week 15 - Seed 1 vs Lowest Remaining Seed - Seed 2 vs Highest Remaining Seed
Week 16 - Champions Bowl - Winner 1 from Week 15 vs Winner 2 from Week 15
