-All-PRO
-8 Minute Quarters
-15 Second Accelerated Clock Runoff
-Trading is on (No CPU)
The first advance date will be Tuesday, Feb 2. From there, we will advance every other day at 6 p.m. (my schedule permitting)
IMPORTANT: If your opponent is not around for 2 days and you can't get your game in, you need to contact me (preferably during the day before the advance date since I work 8-5 pm EST Mon-Fri). I will boot that person so you can play right around 5:15pm EST and avoid a simulation. The booted party will be allowed back in the league, but they will be at the mercy of the CPU for that game. If, for some reason, you don't get a hold of me in time or I can't get to my 360 in time to boot the other person so you can play your game, you may have to deal with your game being simulated. I'm sorry, but that will be part of the game. I'll try to avoid it, but if it happens (it will at least once in a while), I don't want to hear complaining. I warned everyone.
Other rules:
-Because we want a realistic football environment, please follow these guidelines on 4th down:
a-Only go for it when you are within a few yards to go (when in borderline FG/Punt range)
b-In obvious field goal range, you should normally be kicking a FG, There are always exceptions and if you can make a reasonable football case for why you went for it, it's legal.
c-If you're down by 21 points in 2nd half then you can go for it anytime.
d-If you're down in the fourth quarter and need a 1st down to tie the game and punting would mean you lose then you can go for it
In conclusion, use common football sense to decide when to go for it. Try to keep it as realistic as possible.
-Nano Blitzing is not allowed and if it is seen, you will be removed.
-HB Flats and Screen abuse will not be tolerated. Do not hike the ball and throw it right to a RB out of the backfield in the flats or run tons of screens.
-No onside kicks unless it's the 4th quarter and you need it to comeback and win.
-Do not onside kick when ahead in a game.
-Be realistic with the no huddle. Only go no huddle if you are running out of time in a half or trailing in the fourth quarter and in a rush.
-Should only go for a 2 pt conversion to tie or cut/add the lead to a field goal or touchdown.
-You may QB scramble but do not scramble right after you hike the ball or run straight to the sideline without any pressure.
-If you like the wildcat or running screens then fine, but don't do it every time. Mix it up on offense and defense.
-Not much to say in terms of trading. Just no cheating. Make offers and accept fair offers. I will reverse any awful, one-sided trades unless the "loser" of the deal can explain himself. I will make exceptions for "late additions" to the league, allowing 1 trade after the deadline (but no later than week 12)
- All Free Agents are fair game after the conclusion of week 1. Once the league is open to everyone, each team can sign 1 Free Agent rated above an 80. I realize there are only a select few and it will be first come, first serve, but that is the only fair way to do it. After week 1 advances, anyone can be signed. Note that I will "update" the rosters as best I can before starting up the league. (aka Braylon Edwards to NYJ, Larry Johnson to CIN, etc)
Sportsmanship Rules:
-Don't run up the score on your opponent. Run the ball/clock when you have a huge lead. When you can knee the ball then do it
-Don't pad your stats against the Computer or we will stop all play until the league is filled. Run the ball/clock when you have a huge lead
-Trash talk is allowed, but keep it civil.
Forum Rules:
