SL Franchise Rules

League settings will be: Skill Level: All-Pro, Quarter Length: 8 Minutes, Accelerated Clock: 25 Seconds, Injuries: On, Weather: On, Fatigue: On, Advance: 12pm Pacific DAILY

Only 1 Free Agent pick-up allowed until Week 2, then owners can pick up 2 per week. Anyone found to not be following these rules will face either being booted from the league or not be able to participate in anymore free agent signings (including first offseason).

1 ) You become a manager of a team and act as the owner/GM. Making trades, signing free agents, and drafting new talent. Trades are subject to approval of the league manager and either Ansem, Helm, or Phreak.

2 ) All the games are to be NFL Simulation. No use of game glitches are permitted, as they don't do this in real life. Advancments every day at 12pm Pacific.

3 ) No teams may make trades. Neither with other teams or the cpu.

4 ) Communicate with your opponent via website or PSN so that it is noted that you are making an attempt to have your game scheduled to be played. If you have a game vs a cpu player, play it.

5 ) Have good sportsmanship and respect toward your opponent.. Run the football and milk the clock as much as possible so that the game can end and receive your win.

6) Don't run the same play or formation every play. Learn your playbook and have a balanced attack offensively and defensively. Don't run out of bounds on kickoffs so that you're not blocked then make the tackle. That's a penalty in the NFL therefore is not allowed. No nano blitzing or any other foul play that gives you an advantage to win a game.

7 ) If the game disconnects, there's not much that can be done about this issue. If game is in the second half and there's a clear winner go ahead and count game if it gives you the option. If it's still early in the game go ahead and restart it and play from beginning. Of course it can be unfair but it is a problem that is out of our control. We have to manage it as best as possible. If someone wants the score back to what it was before the disconnect occurred that is allowed and I expect that to be honored by the opposing player in the case of a disconnect.

8 ) Going for it on 4th down. 1st and 3rd Quarters, you are not permitted to go for it at all. Late in the second quarter, if losing, it is allowed. 4th Quarter, if you are losing by 2 scores, it is permitted to go for it. This rule is all about common sense, if you are done 28 or more, you are permitted to go for it on 4th the entire second half, but remember if you go for it on 4th down you are giving your opponent ample field position and they have the right to go for the score just as much as you do.

9 ) Be sure to remain active on the website. This is not optional as no Owner likes to have to hunt down their opponent. Check in every other day, and everything will be fine. We replace Owners that are not on the website. This also goes along with being able to schedule games in a timely manner, all we want as managers is to not to have to do sub games of any kind, so please check your email for pms and try to schedule your game for a time that works for the both of you. If a time can’t be set by both players the game will be simulated, and if one person is unavailable you may request a sub player.

10) Roster Limit is 55 and if exceeded you will be pmed about the situation and given 24 hours to sort it out or the league manager will cut as many necessary to get you down to the limit. 0 year contract players need to be signed by the owner of the team and will be cut if not done after a pm is sent out with a deadline for this. Any team that is over the roster limit will be fined 250k per player, daily.

11) There is a salary cap and will go up 10 million per season.
