These are the league rules… subject to change of course.
Team Rules
Subs:
- Captains will agree on subs in the Captain’s Chat before each game, unless there are extenuating circumstances
- Subs should be on “par” with the player(s) being subbed for
- Generally speaking, if 2 or more subs are needed – the team needing the subs will forfeit by a set score (58-47).
- Exception: If both players being subbed for are injured, that is acceptable.
Drafts
- Generally speaking, each captain gets $50 to auction/bid players
- 5-6 players on each team
- Captains must stay until end of the draft when there is a possibility 1 or more teams will have a 6th player
- Leaving a draft early may result in being “assigned” a 6th player by the league
- If you pick a guy who will miss a lot of games and it’s known ahead of time – do the right thing and draft a 6th guy (includes Captain as a guy).
- Captains must stay until end of the draft when there is a possibility 1 or more teams will have a 6th player
- Each of your first 4 picks must be between $1 – $47, and total no more than $50.
Champions
- The Captain of the reigning league champion has the option to keep his team in tact for the following session.
- No team can stay together more than 3 consecutive sessions without being drafted
