REOPENS
NFL League Year exact every year. When NFL business opens our business opens.
All Draft Picks (current & next season) are eligible to be traded at that time.

SCORING
It's 11 on 11 football. 1 kicker 1 punter.
Teams can play 3-4, 4-3, or 3-3-5 (nickle) Defenses.

Offensive lineman are not scored & therefore not rostered or drafted. We allow flex opportunity where C-G-T would play on an actual field.

Scoring formula is multifaceted geared towards rewarding game defining plays while scoring every aspect of actual on field football.

In season tie breakers for playoffs will follow NFL tie breaker formats. (Only if needed overall fantasy points would be the deciding tie breaker.)

FA CONTRACT TERMS
5yr deal must be at least $10m AAV
4yr deal must be at least $5.5m AAV
3yr deal must be at least $1m AAV
ALL DENOMINATIONS can be 1 or 2 years.
NFL LIVE FAs signed to 1yr deals cannot be resigned before NFL Week 10.
You can exceed next years cap during the off-season.
All teams must be cap compliant by 9/1/start of season.
Further Explanation:
NFL LIVE teams have a cap ceiling that fluctuates with the actual NFL's cap every year. This is not fully identified until the next NFL League year begins.

Teams can be $50m over the cap or any denomination during the off-season however by 9/1 (start of NFL LIVE FA) if your team is over the cap the league will cut players for you until you are not. [Addressed in the penalty section further down the handbook]
Moving of cap hits, funds, cash, any form of currency movement or minipulation is not allowed.

RESIGN VALUE AAV
Player Contracts that are resigned will start the following season from 1yr extensions up to term limit extensions.
Extension values are based on the highest ranking of the last season with accrued statistics including the current season.
ONCE ANY NEW SEASON BEGINS FROM WEEK 1, A PLAYERS RESIGN IS THE HIGHEST RANKING INCLUDING CURRENT SEASON OR LAST SEASON.
Only contracts in the last year are eligible to be extended. Contracts that expire have no off-season grace period. Expired contracts become Unrestricted FA.
*The deadline to resign expiring contracts is the end of the actual NFL Regular Season. The final whistle of the final game.

"PSC" carries a $500k cap count when on the active 53 Man roster and all "PSC" players are marked as to be clear & visible on our Google Doc SS.

Practice Squad players can be signed to standard NFL Contracts (2 yrs $500k) at any time by the teams GM prior to the players 18th game played. [GM's post this as a transaction]

ONLY DESIGNATED 6th & 7th round draftees ($500K) would qualify for "PSC" designation. [GM's post this as a transaction]
Note* Rookie 1st thru 5th round NFL LIVE draftees are on NFL contracts that are $1m or above & are not PSC eligible.
*NO TEAM MAY EXCEED 16 DESIGNATED PSC PLAYERS/OFFERS AT ANY ONE GIVEN TIME.
***********Example: ************
Bears have 10 players designated PSC.
(7 on the PS + 3 on the 53 man rosters)
Bears can bid 6 PSC contracts in FA at one time max. Not to ever exceed 16 total in players/offers combined.***********
TEAMS MUST DESIGNATE EACH YEARS PRACTICE SQUAD PLAYERS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST START OF FREE AGENCY

PSC Practice Squad contract = $500K (N/A) till 18th game played.
At the "start of" 18th game PSC becomes final year at $500k & can no longer be placed on PS. Player must be extended or be released by the end of that current season.

A PSC contract is the ONLY CONTRACT that allows a player to be placed on a teams Practice Squad.

Placing A Player On Injured Reserve
[Will only gain a team roster spot on the active 53 Man Roster. Cap Salary still applies.]
*Players only qualify for IR when on the actual NFL IR.

Penalties
Are at the discretion of the league & subject to majority vote.

Being over the salary cap:
24hours to get under cap on your own.
After 24hours the league will get you under the cap. Mandatory Release will start with the highest paid players until the team is cap compliant.

Fantrax:
The league will fix & optimize rosters on fantrax when needed. Failure to maximize your own roster can lead to anything from cap penalties to replacing you as a GM.

The league wants you to run your teams operations. Every aspect. If we have to do it for you, we should both consider other options.

For any clarifications or feedback please contact the league office of moderators.
