For so long I have gotten into leagues thrown together at the last minute. Up until the final minutes before the draft we aren’t even sure we have a full league. It’s ridiculous. I want a format that is fun, stable and exciting.
No more “I’ll pay you when I get paid.” No more, showing up to the draft with $91. That is some bullshit. We’re grown men and your DNA alerts you months before the opening kick that the NFL season is upon us. My goal is to create and establish a league you guys can enjoy and will remain in. I’d even be willing to turn it into a keeper league if you wanted. I’m open to suggestion. We can vote on ideas at any time in the season. With that said, buckle up, peruse these rules, regulations and standards and let me know if you’re interested in joining the alliance of the leather.

Game of the Week Payout
Each week a “Game of the Week” will be chosen. Every team will play in a “Game of the Week” an equal amount of times. The loser of each GOTW matchup will pay $5 to the GOTW Pot. Each week a poll will be posted and you must choose who you think you will win the GOTW. At the end of the season the player(s) that chose the winner of the GOTW the most times will win the GOTW pot; GOTW pot will be separate from the Top Performance Award pot consisting of wire/trade/penalty funds. [Payout will depend on the amount of GOTW games played]
PAYMENT PENALTIES
As stated above, I loathe you turds that show up to the draft without your money. Football season starts at the same time every year, have your chips banded up and ready. Ultimately I’m trying to avoid anyone getting screwed out of their winnings as I’ve seen happen time and time again.
If you do not show up to the draft with cash or check in hand for the full amount you will be instantly fined $10. For every week thereafter that the commissioner is not paid, you will pay $5. Late payment arrangement is up to the player, the commissioner will not be responsible for “meeting up” or “stopping by” for payment unless otherwise agreed. At the very least use the mailbox. I’ll be happy to take Paypal as well. Fines imposed will be added to the waiver/trade pot to pay out Top Performance Awards.
If a player has not paid their dues in full by the kickoff of the first Fantasy Playoff game, that player forfeits their right to any winnings. And if I hear someone complain about this stipulation, you're instantly suspect to be the "that guy" of the season... Please don't be that guy.
*Money for trades, waiver pick ups and GOTW will not be included in the fees needed at the draft. Those figures will be kept track of by the commissioner and pay arrangements will be made at the end of the season. (Billy Bob owes Joe $25, Chris owes Mike $15, etc.)
Season Length
The season currently is 14 games long with four teams advancing to a two week playoff. Seeding will be decided by division standings. 1st, 2nd and 3rd are paid out. I am willing to take a vote to see if we’d like to go to a 13 game season with six teams advancing to the playoffs, 1st-3rd will remain the paid prizes.
Below you can find scores and settings as currently posted. Items in bold can be voted on if you disagree on the format. However I think the point system is set in stone unless there is some unanimous uprising against me. I think the point tweaks I made will make for a more interesting season.
EXAMPLES
- QB’s will be awared 2 pts for every 10 completions
- RB’s will be awarded 1 pt for every 10 carries
- WR’s will be awarded 1 pt for every 10 receptions
- Rushing, Receiving or Kick Returners to gain over 100 yds will be
awarded 5 bonus points. Defense/Special teams will also be awarded
points for return yards as any other player would (0.1pt/yard) - A shut out for your defense yields 12 pts while the next point scale is 7pts. It’s hard as shit to get a shut out so they deserve a little extra.
- Kickers points went up a little as well to make them more of a factor;
kicks 50+ yds will be awarded 6 pts and misses will be –1 and –2 depending on the range.
If you’d like to discuss anything please comment and we’ll get the dialog going. Otherwise, I'd like to see which of you sissy's will be in the [Jake] Locker room with me before kickoff.
Good luck ladies.

This is very well put together. Not a big fan of waiver and trade fees, either way I'm in.
