League Rules:
Our league is comprised of 20 teams that are separated into two-10 team leagues divided into four- 5 team divisions.
Regular season:
13 weeks long due to the added week by the nfl in the regular season week 14 will be a bye week., at the end, the top 4 teams from each league will make the playoffs. This is comprised of the 4 division winners and the next 2 best records regardless of division in each league.
Playoffs:

You didn’t make the playoffs? Your season is not completely lost yet.
If you missed the playoffs, you will be entered in the toilet bowl. Week 15 your records and points are scratched - you have a fresh start to win from weeks 15-17. Whichever team scores the most points over this three-week period will win the coveted illustrious toilet bowl trophy.

Pick-ups and Trades
During the season, each week you will be able to make pick-ups. You can pick up 2 players per week. The first two players you pick up, you won’t have to drop from your roster. Once your roster reaches 20 players, you must start dropping. Your roster can never exceed 20 players. When you pick-up, you must drop a player. Your pick-up order will be determined by your record. Worst record will receive first pick-up each week.
During the season you will be allowed to make trades with other teams. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to make a trade that will be detrimental to the league’s integrity. (No shady trading) I as the commissioner, can veto any trade. There will also be a trade committee comprised of three owners from the opposing side of the league. If someone from our side questions a trade, we will put the trade to a vote. There will be a trade deadline approximately around week 10 which will be on the website.
