I have a few openings in a fantasy football league I am running over the net. Please find the rules and scoring system below. We use the UFFL (Ultimate Fantasy Football League) system where individual defensive p_layer_s are drafted. Depending on the owners votes, we may use the stipulation of the UFFL where each ffl team cannot draft more than one p_layer_ from any one NFL franchise. It is a great rule, but we can and do waive it if requested. Please contact me ASAP so I can let you know how we are doing the draft and when it will be held. Ultimate Fantasy Football League Table of Contents * I. Introduction * II. UFFL Model * III. Roster * IV. Draft * V. UFFL Scoring System * VI. Standings * VII. Statistics * VIII. Injury Replacements * IX. Dog Picks * X. Trades * XI. Modified UFFL Rules * XII. Season * XIII. Playoffs I. INTRODUCTION Introduction to Fantasy Football * Fantasy Football is a game which attempts to emulate the game of professional (NFL) football. Its participants, or owners, create teams by drafting them from the rosters of actual NFL teams, and create a league comprised of all of the teams represented by the individual owners. The statistics generated by the real NFL p_layer_s on each owner's team are used to accumulate points through use of a reasonably realistic scoring system. Games are played against other Fantasy Football teams in which the team which accumlates the most points wins. Playoffs are held toward the end of the season among the teams with the best won-lost records in the Fantasy Football league. II. UFFL MODEL * A unique feature of the UFFL model is the way in which teams are constructed, using thirty p_layer_s, one from each NFL team. Each owner has an interest in every NFL game being played each week because the owner will have two p_layer_s participating in each NFL game. It also encourages each owner to study and determine the strengths and weaknesses of every NFL team, not just the owner's favorite teams. Each NFL game is important and worth watching. * The other unique feature of the UFFL model is the scoring system, covered in detail in Section V. Scoring. III. ROSTERS * Offense: o 2 Quarterback units o 5 Running Backs o 5 Wide Receivers o 2 Tight Ends o 2 Place Kicker units o 2 Offensive Lines * Defense: o 4 Defensive Linemen o 4 Linebackers o 4 Defensive Backs * Quarterback units are used to provide realism in the UFFL model. A loss of a quarterback can be a major blow. In many fantasy football models, if your starting quarterback is injured, you cease to obtain statistics for the balance of that game. With quarterback units, you obtain all the quarterbacks for a certain NFL team. For example, by drafting John Elway, you are actually drafting the Denver Broncos' quarterbacks, so if Elway gets hurt in a game and comes out, you continue to obtain quarterback statistics for the Denver quarterbacks _base_d on the performance of the backup quarterback that replaces the injured Elway. This softens the blow of losing your quarterback and causing the outcome of the game to become unbalanced due to you losing a p_layer_ in a high scoring position. * Place Kickers are treated the same way as quarterbacks. They are high scorers and the loss of a kicker can greatly affect the outcome of a game. You draft all the place kickers for a team. If the starting place kicker gets hurt, you still get the statistics of the backup kicker. IV. DRAFT * Each owner of a team in an UFFL league must draft 30 p_layer_s, one p_layer_ (or unit) from each NFL team. This is accomplished through a p_layer_ selection draft. The league determines a draft order in which the draft is to proceed. The league may choose any method of determining a draft order. Once the order is determined, the first team to draft selects a p_layer_, announcing the selection to the league owners and anouncing the position on his roster which the p_layer_ will fill. Once an owner selects a p_layer_ from an NFL team, that owner will not be allowed to draft another p_layer_ from that NFL team. The draft continues according to the draft order. When the last owner in the draft order has made a selection, the draft proceeds in the opposite order of the first round. For example, if there are 8 teams in your league, odd-numbered rounds would proceed from 1 thru 8, while the even-numbered rounds proceed from 8 thru 1. This gives all teams a fair chance of acquiring good talent. This is called the double-back system. V. UFFL SCORING SYSTEM * Quarterback Units o 6 points: Touchdown pass, rush, reception o 1 point: 200-224 yds passed, rushed, received o 1 point: Each additional 25 yds o -2 points: Each interception * Running Backs, Wide Receivers and Tight Ends o 6 points: Touchdown pass, rush, reception o 1 point: 70-79 combined yds rushed, received, passed o 1 point: Each additional 10 yds o 1 point: Fifth reception o 1 point: Each reception after five * Place Kickers o 1 point: Each Point After Touchdown o 3 points: Each 0-39 yard field goal o 4 points: Each 40-49 yards field goal o 5 points: Each 50-59 yards field goal o 10 points: Good luck * Offensive Line o 1 point: 130 team-yards rushed o 1 point: Each additional 10 yards rushed o 2 points: Allowing only one sack (min. 15 pass attempts) o 5 points: Not allowing a sack (min. 15 pass attempts) * Defense (same for all positions) o 1 point: Each solo/unassisted tackle o 2 points: First 2 sacks o 3 points: Each additional sacks o 1 point: Half sack o 4 points: Interception o 6 points: Safety o 12 points: Defensive TD (includes 4 interception points) * All P_layer_s o 12 points: Punt or Kickoff for a touchdown VI. STANDINGS * Standings are determined _base_d on the results of head-to-head competition each week in your league. The team in a competing pair which scores the higher point total for the current week is credited with a win while the team scoring fewer points is handed a loss. The standings are provided in a win-loss format as well as points scored, points against and games behind first. VII. STATISTICS * Scores for each team are calculated using NFL box scores and the UFFL scoring system. VIII. INJURY REPLACEMENTS * You may replace an injured p_layer_ on your roster with an unsigned free agent p_layer_ in the following situations: o NFL p_layer_s listed as questionable, doubtful, or out, or p_layer_s on the injured-reserve can be replaced with a designated replacement p_layer_. This replacement p_layer_ must play on the same NFL team and play the same position as the original p_layer_. o P_layer_s listed as probable cannot be replaced. o Even if the replacement p_layer_ plays, if the original (injured) p_layer_'s participation is documented in the box score or game summary, the original p_layer_'s statistics are used to figure the score of a game, not the replacement p_layer_'s. o If the original p_layer_ is actually seen playing in a game by a league owner, but does not show up in the box score, the replacement p_layer_ remains the p_layer_ of record. o Once a replacement p_layer_ has been named, the owner cannot change his/her mind. That p_layer_ will remain the replacement p_layer_ until the original p_layer_ is upgraded to probable or returns from the injured-reserve list. o If the replacement p_layer_ selected is injured, the team owner may then select another replacement p_layer_ to play for the original until the original p_layer_ returns. o In the case where two or more teams have injuries that effect p_layer_s on the same team and at the same positions, the precedence goes to the lower ranked teeam in the most recent standings. IX. DOG PICKS * Dog picks are a feature unique to the UFFL model, in which an owner may release a poor-performing p_layer_ and pick up another p_layer_. The key to this is you must select a p_layer_ that plays the same position and on the same team as the p_layer_ you are releasing. In order words, you must maintain the integrity of your team roster as explained in Section III. Rosters. * Each team make a maximum of three (3) dog picks per season. X. TRADES * The UFFL model contains rules to simulate as realistically as possible, the game of football. Typically, few trades occur in the NFL during the football season. Thus, the rules for trading will ensure that trades are kept to a minnimum. The following rules apply to trading p_layer_s: o At the end of a trade transaction, the teams involved must have a full complement of p_layer_s (30). o Each team involved in a trade must have p_layer_s that fulfill the roster requirements of ... wiêcej »
