SEASON RULES
These are rules that are to be followed throughout the course of the season. Things that must be done to make our league work & flow correctly
- CHANGING TEAMS. In this league I'll allow team changes any time but you must be within 2 win's of the team your trading with's record (or have a better record), you cannot trade for a team thats in a playoff position when you're not, and your only EVER allowed to trade teams ONCE in your entire stay here in the VNFL franchise. If multiple people apply to get the team, the most veteran owner will get the team, if still tied, the person who had the worste pick in the team draft lottery will get the team.
- EDIT UNIFORMS. Please PLEASE do not edit uniforms unless your opponent is watching & editing his at the same time to ensure that your uniforms don't clash in any way going into the game. This happens allot in ranked mode, and we don't want to ruin our games with pity mistakes like this.
- FREE AGENCY DRAFT. Every year will be a Free Agency draft, the order, the # of players, the overall's that these players must be (as teams will be forced to release players at the end of each year) are all yet to be determined. This draft has unlimited rounds, it goes until people are done picking up free agents. All of these draft picks will be tradeable picks all season long, and we will track any trades that include these picks in our Submit Trades section. You will not be allowed to trade any player you draft in the FA draft for 1 full season however.
- MEETING THE DEADLINE TO COMPLETE YOUR GAME. From the previous deadline you will have 48 Hours to complete your game. If it runs past 48 hours you have a max of 4 days to get your game played, but you run the risk of the game being simmed it if is not played within the first 48 hours. It will be simmed based on who the commish feels made the most effort, if he feels effort was equal he'll flip a coin. Not meeting deadlines can give you a warning, have players suspended, or have you kicked or banned from the league. If your away for 3+ days you must post that you'll be away in our scheduling section. If your away for 4 or more days without posting you could & probably will be removed from the league.
- TRADING PLAYERS. Here are our trade rules:
~~ You are allowed to trade 10 players and 5 draft picks. (if you have a trade involving a 1st round draft pick you must add an extra draft pick to the total in that deal. If there are 2 or 3 1st round draft picks in one trade you still only add 1 extra pick to the deal) ex: #1 pick for #10, #11, #20. This trade is worth 5 picks.
and remember its the total players & total picks in a trade, not just the amount leaving your team or going to your team.
`1st round rookie picks will counts as 2, so you are allowed to trade a total of 5; if your proposed deal consist of a 1st round pick and a 3rd round pick, then that counts for 3.
VOTING TO APPROVE CLOSE TRADES:
-All trade votes when they go to the BOG as long as 39% approve the trade gets approved. Meaning if 60% decline a trade will be denied, where as in past as long as 51% declined it got declined. This will ensure closer trades get approved, a trade must truly be unfair to get declined.
- WAIVER WIRE. There will be a 32 team priority list, which will put the teams in order 1 to 32 in the same order as our free agent draft. During each week every team will be able to submit Free Agent bid's for players that currently sit in Free Agency; if 2 teams make offers to the same player the team who has highest priority will get the player. Anytime a team pickups a free agent they drop down to the bottom of the priority list & all the other teams who didn't pick up a player move up the ladder. The commish will put the player on your team at the same time as the week ending deadline, so he'll be on your roster (if you get him) for the start of the new week. You'll be able to make your Free Agent bid's in the WAIVER WIRE thread stickied in the Submit Trades board. It will get updated each week.
- You must post to play your games in our scheduling section of the forum. This is the only way the commissioners can track the games, and the only way we can decide whos made the most effort if we need to give a simmed win. IF WE HAVE TO DECIDE A WINNER OF A GAME IT'LL BE DECIDED BY WHO HAS MADE THE MOST EFFORT IN THE FORUMS, NO EXCEPTIONS; so post updates of aim convos and things like that to ensure you get the win in case things don't get done.
