Please pay particular attention to the "Calendar" tab, which will provide all
relevant information as to line-up, waiver, etc. deadlines.
B) General
1. Full fees are required before draft day! No exceptions! Any team not
paying the league fee at or before draft day will not be allowed to
draft!
2. Play is in a three (3) division format with each four (4) teams per division.
Teams play each team in both divisions once.
3. Three (3) division winners plus the next three (3) best records (winning
percentage) make the play-offs. (See play-offs).
4. My Fantasy League.com statistics will be used as the official box scores.
Should a discrepancy arise the owner who is questioning the stat should
inform the commissioner within a week, so that a statistic's question can
be submitted for further review. No change will be made until an official
ruling is received.
5. Division Tie Breakers will be handled in the following order.
1. Winning Percentage
2. Point Total
3. Head To Head
4. Divisional Winning Percentage
5. Reverse Order of Opponents Total Points Scored
6. Coin Toss
Thus a record of 1-1-2 is exactly equivalent to 2-2-0 and the tie breaker of
total points is used.
6. There are NO Tiebreakers during the regular season. Ties are considered
1/2 win and 1/2 loss for winning percentage purposes.
7. All winnings will be distributed at the annual Rebels Fantasy Football
League dinner.
8. Divisions will be determined by last seasons final regular season
standings.9. “The Idiot Rule” Any trade can be voided if the league feels a team has
been depleted or excessively strengthened. Any team may submit a
complaint to the Commissioner to have a trade Revoked. The complaint
will be reviewed and the Commissioner in his judgment may reach out to
the League to determine whether or not a trade should be revoked. Note,
there have been only very rare cases in which the Idiot Rule has resulted
in the voiding of a trade, and then only in cases where it was apparent that
collusion had occurred.
10. All trade and waiver fees will be used for the annual RFFL dinner.
C) DRAFTING
1. The draft will be held the weekend before the NFL season starts (typically
the last weekend in August or first weekend of September). Each team
will start out with $1,000 (draft dollars) as a salary cap that they must
adhere to during the draft. The draft order will be determined as follows:
Last Season’s Fantasy Bowl Winner nominates first and the order moves
clockwise from there. Each owner whose turn it is to draft will state the
player, position, NFL team, and the amount they are willing to pay for that
player (All players must start at $5 and can only be bid on in multiples of
$5). The owner who is next to draft can then try to out bid for that player.
Bidding will go in the sequence of the initial drafting order and continue
until any other owner does not match the highest bid.
2. There will be no passing on the bid. If the prior owner does not attempt to
outbid the previous owner they will be eliminated from bidding on that
player any further. The owner who bids the highest for a player will then
own that player’s contract for the upcoming season. That purchase price
is then deducted from their salary cap. The second owner in the draft will
then pick a player and the process will continue. Due to the nature of the
drafting not all owners will receive players during each round of the draft.
The drafting will continue until all owners receive 16 players.
3. No dropping of players during the draft. A team who erroneously
overbids during the auction of a player will be subject to a penalty,
depending on the severity of the error.
4. There are no trades to occur during the draft.E) TRADING / WAIVING PLAYERS
1) Trading will be permitted up until 7PM Thursday November 10, 2011. Week
10 begins the Thursday night games with Oakland vs. San Diego.
2) No player can be traded back to its original franchise for 4 weeks.
3) Trades will cost each team involved $1.50 per player involved.
4) All teams involved in trades must pay their own fee.
5) Trades must be proposed and accepted on the League website by 11:45 PM on
the Saturday prior that weeks games in order to be eligible to start. In
addition there is a Trade Lockout period from 11:45 PM Saturday through the
end of that weeks games.
6) All trades must be balanced, this means that in a 2 for 1 deal, the team
receiving the 2 players must throw in the player that they would have had to
drop anyway into the trade to balance it. A teams roster must remain at 16 at
all times.
7) Salary Cap will automatically be adjusted to allow for the trading of players
with different salaries.
For Example: Team A has a 16 man roster with $50 available cap ($950
in current salaries), and Team B has a 16 man roster with no free cap ($1,000
in current salaries). Team A trades Jason Witten ($115) to Team B for
Brandon Pettigrew ($10), because Team A believes Pettigrew will put up
similar numbers Witten for the remainder of the season. Disregarding
any other approval problems, at the end of the trade Team A
will have Pettigrew and an overall salary Cap of $895,
whereas Team B will have Witten and an overall salary cap of
$1,105.
Note that Team A still has his previous free cap of $50 and Team B did not
obtain any additional free Cap, since he now has to support the higher salary
of Witten. Overall League Total Cap has not changed; it is still $12,000 overall.
It is only the distribution of the cap that has changed in order to allow these 2
players to be traded.
Trading of salary Cap is still prohibited, a team can not trade his cap. The
intention of the transfer of Cap is to allow for easier trading of players and
should not be used to "Manage your free Cap". Should Team B have
dropped Witten he would now have $115 in free cap to bid with. Since this
would then be considered nothing more than a cap trade, it would be
dealt with harshly.
8) Note – the site is being programmed to require Commissioner Approval of all
trades. All trades need to be balanced as to the number of players. All teams
must always have 16 players. 2 for 1 trades must include the players being
dropped in order for the Commissioner to process the trade. Any trades
made without all of the required information will not be processed untilthat information is provided. Trades will not be processed on Sunday
morning, so make sure all information is complete before submission.
9) Three way trades, that is trades between more than 2 teams can not be
accommodated automatically through the web site, therefore it is
recommended that these types of trades be e-mailed to the Commissioner for
processing. Upon receipt of all three teams e-mails the trade will be
processed, again the trade deadline of 11:45 PM on Saturday is in effect.
10) Note – All of the above rules on trades assume a normal 1st Game on Sunday
Week. Should the NFL begin a week earlier the Trade Lock-out is in effect
from the start of the first game through the end of that week’s games.
Waivers
1) There are 2 types of waivers - Blind Bid Waivers and First Come First Serve
Waivers.
2) At the conclusion of the draft there will be no additional Cap added. Each team
will have whatever cap is left over from their draft plus the player being dropped
to bid.
3) There will be one round of Blind Bid Waivers prior to the start of the season to
run from Tuesday September 6th to Wednesday September 7th at 11:45PM. Only
1 player may be added during this Special Round. Use Round 1 Only.
4) All players who are dropped will have their salary revert back to the league
minimum of $5.
5) Blind Bid Waivers will allow a team to bid on players whereas First Come First
Serve Waivers(FCFS waivers) are simple add drops. (Note during FCFS waivers
no team may drop a player prior to the start time. The Add and the Drop must be
completed in the same transaction.)
6) The Waiver Periods are as follows:
Blind Bid Waivers - Sunday Kickoff through Tuesday at 11:45 PM
Blind Bid Waivers - Wednesday 12 AM through Wednesday 11:45 PM
First Come First Serve Waivers Thursday 7 PM through Sunday 12:45 PM
Thanksgiving - First Come First Serve waivers begin at 8AM Thursday
Morning.
1) There are NO Waiver Moves permitted from Sunday 12:46 PM through Kickoff
on Sunday.
2) Blind Bid Waivers will now consist of three (3) Rounds (Use Rounds 1, 2, & 3 in
the MFL waiver screen. In the Past we only used Round 1)
DO NOT USE ANY ROUNDS OTHER THAN ROUND 1,
ROUND 2 OR ROUND 3 TO LIST YOUR REQUESTS!
3) Now a team can change 6 players through bidding prior to the FCFS waivers.4) The rounds are judged mutually exclusive. Round 1 processes then Round 2 etc.
So although you can not list the same player in a single round you can list the
same player in Round 1 or Round 2 or even Round 3.
5) Any player dropped will not be available until the following Weeks Waiver
period. (Same as Last Year Only the Software will not allow a team to pick up
such a player)
6) Any Player dropped, may not be reacquired by the team making the drop
until the second set of Blind Bid Waivers beginning on Wednesdays.
For Example I own Sean Alexander at a salary of $400, he is injured and expected
to miss 6-8 weeks. If I drop him and free up the $400 in Cap Room, I will not be able
to bid on him on Tuesday's Blind Bid Waivers whereas the rest of the league can.
Since his salary reverts to $5 when dropped if any other team (not the team who
dropped) bids for Alexander on Tuesday, they will get him for the price they bid,
even if it is less than the original $400) Should no one bid on Alexander on Tuesday
he is now considered "Cleared" and the original team who dropped him can now bid
on him during the Wednesday Blind Bid Waivers.
7) Waivers will cost $1.50 per move, thus a complete waiver move consisting of an
addition and drop will cost $3.00.
8) Ties - that is owners bidding the same amount for a player will be broken by
giving the player to the team with the lowest record. (Determined the same way
as the standings)
9) Prior to Week 1 there is 1 Blind Bid waiver move allowed - since there is no other
way to break ties, in the event 2 teams bid the same amount for the same player
the team that submitted the bid earliest will be awarded that player.
REMEMBER USE ONLY ROUND 1 FOR THIS SPECIAL WAIVER ROUND.
F) Rosters
1. Each team will consist of a 16 man roster.
2. Only an owner may submit his weekly Line-up. The commissioner may
approve someone else to submit a team Line-up, but this practice is
strongly discouraged.
3. Lineup must be posted on the league website at the LATEST 5 minutes
prior to the start of the first game. Lineup changes may be made but only
with players that have yet to play for that week.
4. Line-ups submitted will consist of one of the following:
STANDARD: 1QB 2 RB 2WR 1 TE 1 K 1DEF
WISHBONE: 1 QB 3RB 1 WR 1 TE 1K 1 DEFRUN & SHOOT: 1 QB 1 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 DEF
DOUBLE TE/RUN STRONG: 1 QB 2 RB 1WR 2 TE 1 K 1 DEF
DOUBLE TE/PASS STRONG: 1 QB 1 RB 2WR 2TE 1 K 1DEF
5. Team owners are responsible for checking his/her own scores. Any
corrections must be made before game time the following week.
6. If no line-up is submitted the previous week's line-up will be used. This
practice is strongly discouraged.

8. Line-ups must be submitted five (5) minutes before game time. No
exceptions.
9. Line-ups must be submitted in the website. In order for the enjoyment of
all teams, phoned in line-ups will not be accepted. Please feel free to call

trust enough with your password to submit your line-up.
10. Any player released by a team will not be available until the following
weeks waiver.
11. There will be a $1.50 fee per player involved for each team involved in a
trade. Teams must pay their own trade fees. No future considerations,
conditional trades (trades based on promises of future trades) or power
trades (trades intended to strengthen one team) will be allowed. If there is
any suspicion of these types of illegal trading, a league meeting will be
called to determine a course of action regarding the parties involved.
Two teams trading players may not re-trade the same player back to each other
for 4 (four) weeks. The same players may be traded to other teams within
the 4 (four) weeks but not back to their original teams.F) Play-offs
1. No team that is currently active in the playoffs can pick up players dropped by
a team that has been eliminated from the play-offs.
2. The 3 (three) division winners and the next 3 (three) best records (wildcards)
over all make the play-offs.
3. The two (2) top seeded, of the 3 (three) division winners, will have a bye in
week 14, the first week of the play-offs.
4. Week 14 The Wildcard Play-offs. There will be 2 (two) play-off games. The
non-bye division winner plays the 3rd seeded wildcard team. The 1st
seeded wild card team plays the 2nd seeded wild card team .
4. Week 15: The lowest seeded wildcard winner plays the #1 seeded division
winner and the remaining 2 (two) teams play each other.
5. Teams must also include 2 Non-Starting players as reserves to break ties
during the playoffs. Owner must indicate Reserve 1 and then Reserve 2.
Ties will be broken by first reviewing each team’s Reserve 1 and if still
tied Reserve 2 will be examined. Should the teams remain tied the Sum of
the Top 2 Scoring Starters will determine the winner. If still tied the
Home Field Advantage (Higher Ranked Team) will be used to break the
tie.
7. Week 16: The winners from week 15 play each other in the Fantasy Bowl,
while the losers from week 15 play in the Consolation Bowl.
8. No weekly prizes will be awarded on weeks 14, 15 & 16.

1. The 6 Non-Playoff Teams will have the opportunity to continue
participating in an attempt to win the $100 prize for the First Annual
RFFL Toilet Bowl.
2. The format and rules are the same as above. So even if you don't make the
playoffs you can still compete for the $100.
3. In an effort to keep the playoff teams from being out foxed by the Non-
Playoff teams, during the Playoffs - Toilet Bowl Contending teams can
not perform any Blind Bid Waivers. They may however select up to 1
player during the First Come First Serve waivers beginning on Friday at
Midnight.4. Non-Playoff teams should only use this move to replace and injured starter
to remain competitive, but not to the detriment of the Play-Off Teams.
5. Any controversies arising from this new Non-Playoff Bracket will be
decided by the Commissioner giving all benefits to the Play-Off teams.
G) Addendum’s
“THE DON RULE” Any team found to have acted dishonestly in any league
related actions, by an owner vote, may be suspended or expelled from the
league and will not receive any of their league fees back. All teams that
have played or will play the suspended or expelled team will receive a win
and “0” points.
COLLUSION:
Defined as "a secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful
purpose". A fantasy football example - Teams A, B and C collude together to
pick up all of Teams D and Z's back-ups, for no other reason than because they
did not like something that was done. Collusion will not be tolerated in this
league, and may be grounds for expulsion.
These rules are intended to maintain fairness and eliminate any anticipated
problems for all participating teams in league play. In the spirit of sportsmanship
and fair play, we ask that you play within the guidelines specified for the sole
reason of keeping the close bond of friendship this league has created between all
owners alive.Scoring: Quarterbacks
