The draft has sixteen rounds. Draft order is determined randomly throughout the summer and reverses each round.
Teams may have a maximum of sixteen players on their roster. There are no limits on players by position.
Players lock at kickoff of their respective games. Teams may choose from three lineup formations:
- 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D/ST
- 1QB, 1RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D/ST
- 1QB, 1RB, 4WR, 0TE, 1K, 1D/ST
Teams have depth charts for each position. RB/WR/TE are grouped as one position due to different lineup formations. The initial depth chart is updated by the commissioner and updated after each transaction. Players acquired through waivers or trade are moved to the bottom of the depth chart by default. Depth charts are maintained on the message board and owners have the abilitiy to log in and update their depth charts at any time. Players in a team's starting lineup who do not play are replaced with the next player on that team's depth chart from that position. Depth charts do not apply for players who do not play due to a bye week.
The waiver wire is open through 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Waiver wire order is initially determined by playoff seed with the lower seed given priority. When two or more teams request the same player off of waivers the team that acquires the player is moved to the bottom of the waiver wire order.
All trades must be approved by the commissioner. The trade deadline is week ten.
The regular season is played weeks one through thirteen. Each team plays division opponents twice and seven of eight non division opponents once.
The three division winners are seeded one through three before seeding the remaining teams. Playoff seeds are determined as follows:
- winning percentage
- head to head record
- points for
- points against
- point differential in head to head matchups
Playoffs are played weeks fourteen through sixteen. In week fourteen the one and two seeds have byes while the three seed plays the six seed and the four seed plays the five seed. The lower seed to advance plays the one seed in week fifteen while the higher seed to advance plays the two seed. The winners play in the championship week sixteen and the losers play a consolation.
