***ATTENTION***
EMERGENCY RULE: 3 QB'S MUST BE ON THE DEPTH CHART DUE TO EA'S QB GLITCH
1 - This league will advance every Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday at 8 PM eastern (unless we are contacted about an extension). If all players have completed before that time we will advance early.
2 - QUITTING and DISCONNECTS.... If a player disconnects from a match the game is to be replayed and the score is to be reset to the prior score of the game, if the score is greater than a TD (or in second half).
QUITTING games will not be tolerated. If you decide to quit a game you will be removed from this league (unless you approved it with a league commissioner or agreed with your opponent). Contact a league commissioner if you have a CPU/AP opponent for confirmation on whether to play them or not.
3 - THERE WILL BE NO NANO/TURBO BLITZING. Must rush at least 3 defenders (one of the three may be on a QB contain)
4 - 4th down rule: No going for it on 4th down unless:
a. You are in no-mans land 4th and 5 or less (50-35 yard line on your opponents side) can only be used once per game
b. You are losing by 21 or more at any point (see rule 4 for the only exception)
c. You are losing in the 4th quarter
5 - Running up the score and conceding: If you are in the lead by more than 21 points with less than 2 minutes left in the game please run the clock. Also to go along with that if you are losing by 21 or more with less than 2 minutes left, please run the clock.
6 - GOAL-LINE formation can only be used in the Red-Zone or inside your own 5 yard line. *No QB SNEAKS*

*Rookie note* Any Rookies that you draft may not be traded in the first season on your team
*Trading Players Multiple Times* Players that you trade for must remain on your team for that season before you trade them (Matt Ryan traded from ATL to CLE, CLE can't trade him to another team til the offseason/following season)
8 - This page is our best source of COMMUNICATION USE IT! We also have Group Me available but it is hard to keep up with some of the conversations, so this is the best place to get a quick read and response.
9 - Do not drop players for someone else. If this is seen you will be removed. Be smart and play fair.
10 - If you do lose a game don't quit there is always next week(unless playoffs), If you don't get a player in the draft you wanted don't quit, make trades. This league is what you make of it.
11 - **QB Running stats** We will monitor this on a game by game basis, the goal is to not exceed 25% of your teams carries.
12 - First warning second suspension third removed thats for breaking rules
**Suspensions will also be handed out for single players who break single game records vs cpu and thats also non negotiable
3 game suspension for said player if your break a record vs cpu no place for that**
13 - Trash talking is allowed. It's part of the game, a weak mindset is a nervous one.you may not like who you are playing but you will respect.
