★Free Agency and Draft Information★
NFL Assistant Coaches or higher may sign, drop, and trade players for their team. The Head Coach must write this on his team page. The Head Coach can also veto/reverse any action made by the Assistant Coaches, as long as it is within 24 hours. In the draft, trading of rounds is permitted during, before, and after the draft.
★Player Terms and Conditions★
Upon joining a team either as a player, you will not be able to join or tryout for any other NFL team. You will not be able to play for other teams while participating in one already. You are limited to only one NFL team. If you would like to join a different NFL team, you can ask the Head Coach of your team to release you. If the Head Coach agrees, he will release you on the wall. From there, the player can sign with any team who offers the player a contract.
If the Head Coach denies the player to leave the team, the player must stay on the team. If the player really would like to leave the team, the player can appeal to the Commissioner of the League and the Commissioner will either approve or deny the appeal. If approved the player will be removed from the team and placed on the “Free Agent” ranking.
The following methods of leaving a team will not be allowed and will result in a suspension whose length will be determined by the Commissioner:
Method One: Fake Retiring: If a player leaves a team while the player still has years left on the players contract, the player may not join another team for a minimum of one seasons.
Method Two: Resigning: If a player resigns from the league altogether, the player will not be able to rejoin a team for a minimum of one league seasons.
★Coach Terms and Conditions★
★NFL★ Coaches don't really follow the same policy as players do; if they leave in the middle of a season, they are automatically put on the team they used to Head Coach and is put as a player. That former Head Coach may leave the former team at the end of the season. The only way for a Head Coach to leave a team without being stuck on it for the rest of the season, would be to resign during the offseason.
★Game Day Requirements★
If a team does not have atleast 6 players during the day of a game the will automatically forfeit the game. If a team uses players that are suspended or are not on their team they will automatically forfeit unless said so by the Commissioner. It may also be noted that on gameday, no transactions may be made until 12:00 AM EST (midnight). The only ways a game can be postponed are hacking and Commissioner postponement.
★Trades★
Two teams can choose to trade players between one another. The trade deadline will start at the beginning of Week 8 of that season. When players are traded, their contracts will be for one seasons.
★NFL Website★
This is where Head Coaches should usually be on a daily basis. Here we have all the news of the NFL, such as predictions, rosters, trade block, etc. In addition, there will be a transaction board that will list whenever a team adds or drops a player. If a player is failed to be added to this transaction board. It may lead to loss of draft picks, suspension, FF, or more.
★Player Contracts★
Every player is signed to a 1 season contract, and they are all unrestricted Free Agents in the offseason. If a Head Coach does not want a player(s) to leave, they have 3 Franchise Tags at their disposal each season. Use these to automatically "force" a player of your own to stay with you for the next season. (These cannot be used on the same player 2 seasons in a row).
★Supplemental Draft★
The supplemental draft will help new teams joining the league to gather enough players without the effects of free agent splurging. The draft will take place one day after the NFL Draft. New NFL teams that choose to be in the supplemental draft will pick up to six rookies who will have three season contracts, but will not count towards the teams season contract count.
★Regular Season Scheduling★
Every NFL team will play every other NFL team once each season in an order which will be set by the Commissioner. The Commissioner will decide the date, time, and location of each NFL game. The final week of the NFL will be a rivalry week; each team will face their rival which will be determined by the Commissioner. NOTE: The rivalry game week will not count toward any tie breakers, conference record, etc. (Unless stated by the Commissioner).
★Playoff Seeding★
The three best teams from each Conference will advance to the playoffs. The second seeded team will face the third seeded team in the same conference at home for round one. The winner of the game in each conference will face the number one seed in that conference and the Super Bowl will be the game between both conference champions.
★Playoff Tiebreakers★
If there should be a tie between teams in the playoffs, the following will decide which team will get into the playoffs:
1. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
(ex. Team 1: 4-9 Team 2: 5-8 | Team 2 is ahead of Team 1)
2. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
(ex. Team 1: Beat Team 2 twice | Team 1 is ahead of Team 2)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
(ex. Team 1: Beat Teams 3, 4, 6 Team 2: Beat Team 3, 4, Lost to Team 6| Team 1 is ahead of Team 2)
If all else fails, the Commissioner will decide with aid of the EB+.
★Admin Members★
Referees will manage the game aspect of the league. You can see a list of all the game rules further down. Executive Board Members are admins that help the league as a whole. They aren't powerful individually, but all together can be a great force when determining rule changes, ranks, etc. If any Executive Board Member "AA's" please report it to the Commissioner. Co-Commissioners are the Commissioners right hand man(s). They are like a Commissioner, but with less power and can be overruled by the Commissioner. The Commissioner shall own every team’s group. He shall choose a maximum of two assistants to help him. Any questions you have should be directed to the Commissioner.
★Use Of Admin★
The use of admin should be for helpful purposes. There is NO tolerance for abusing your admin rights. Doing so will lead to demotion, and possible suspension/exile.
★Player Age Requirement★
Players in the NFL must be atleast 100 days old. If they are under, they must prove that they are not an alt. Any player above 100 days old may be considered an alt if evidence is found.
★In Game Rules★
1. No “:m”ing during a game unless it is halftime or there is a timeout called.
2. Each team must wait ten seconds to snap the ball. The only exception to this rule is in the final two minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters. Failure to do so will result in a five yard penalty. (If the clock is stopped in the last 2 minutes of the 2nd or 4th quarter, then the 10 second rule still applies.)
3. The Player must snap it in the pocket (in between hashes). Failure to do so will result in a 5 yard penalty.
4. The QB must snap it inside 15 yards of the LoS. Failing to do so will result in a 5 yard penalty.
5. NFL games must be atleast 5v5, if there are more players on the field than the designated value, it is a -5 yard penalty.
6. Every player of each team MUST play a minimum time limit of 2 minutes each game. If not followed for 2-3 games, the designated player that's being underplayed will have a option to leave the team with no punishment. If the problem of underplaying players continues, the team may lose contract space and/or draft picks.
7. Any ingame glitches such as getting sacked in the endzone and it not counting as a safety, getting a int but the downs not getting turned over, anything along those lines must be fixed. For example, x back, add/remove points, etc.
8. Tails, Swordpacks, Wings, Picture frames, and any package that changes it to where you can't see your jersey is prohibited. If any player has any of these on, tell them to change or else they must be taken out of the game.
9. Anything that affects gameplay externally (such as macros, hacks, exploits, etc.) are banned and any player who creates this act will be banned from the game and suspended.
★Miscellaneous★
Numerical values of this rulebook may be changed as the league grows or shrinks.
★DISCLAIMER★
Anything written above may be changed at any time. It is NOT written in stone.
