FIREFIGHTERS FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE
You
are invited to own a franchise and participate in the FDFFL for the 2009 pro
football season. This year we have 32 teams, which will be split into four
conferences, with two divisions in each conference. A total of 50 trucks will be collected from
each franchise owner the evening of the draft. A total of 2˝ trucks will also
be collected for each of eleven regular season games and four post season
games, and an additional 12˝ truck bonus for a total of 100 trucks. The total
number of trucks a team can win will depend upon the number of games won, the
final season standings, and how well a team does in the playoffs.
DRAFT
Our
season starts the week after the first NFL regular season game. A draft willl be held at a League satellite headquarters. Franchise
owners will select players in the draft that they feel will be productive
scorers during the regular NFL season. Franchises will draw lots for drafting
position. Twelve rounds are held. The order of draft will be as follows:

WEEKLY LINEUP
A
starting lineup consists of:
1
Quarterback (QB)
2
Running Backs (RB)
2
Wide Receivers (WR)
1
Flex Player (RB, WR, or TE)
1
Tight End (TE)
1

A
new starting lineup MUST be turned in by game time. This may be called in by
phone, or posted on the FleaFlicker web site. If a
new lineup is not submitted, the previous week’s lineup will be used. When there is a Thursday night game, lineups
may be submitted after Thursday, as long as no changes are made involving
players playing on Thursday. If a team submits a lineup and decides to make a
change in the lineup, that can be done as long as the
move does not affect any games that have already been played.

SUPPLEMENTARY DRAFTS
These
drafts will be held after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th games
of the season. Each franchise can draft one additional player. The order of the
draft is determined by the team’s won/loss record, with ties broken by the
number of points the teams scored up to that point. Worst record drafts first,
and in the case of ties, least points first. This draft will take place using
the FleaFlicker waiver system. The draft will start
Tuesday morning and run through Thursday evening. Draft picks will be processed
Friday morning. After all the draft picks are processed on Friday
morning, those franchises that have not selected any players may do so on a
first come, first served basis. Picks must be made prior to the next draft.
Draft choices cannot be "saved" until the next draft. The
Supplementary Draft should be used to avoid situations where a team does not
have enough players at a position due to a bye week.
REPLACEMENT DRAFT
1. During the first 4 weeks,
franchises are entitled to a replacement draft any time they are unable to
field a complete seven man team unless the need for a player is the result of a
bye week only.
2. To make a replacement
draft, the franchise may waive a player (injured, benched, cut, drafted as a
starter but no longer starting) from any position, and then draft a player for
the position that is short.
3. After week ten there are no byes, so you
must drop a player from the same position as the one you draft. The exception here is that if the replaced player ends up
playing, then the replacement draft is void and the player that ended up
playing is back on your roster.
4. Replacement draft picks are
not first-come first-serve. A team has until Friday of that particular week to
make a decision on a Replacement pick. If two teams are attempting to use their
replacement draft pick to claim the same player, then the team with the worst
record will draft first.
5. If there is a
supplementary draft that week, the supplementary draft takes precedence.
WAIVER WIRE
Free agents will be awarded using a prioritized waiver wire system. Team owners
may select free agents they wish to acquire via the waiver wire on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays beginning in week 5 of our season (after we have played 4 games).
Waiver wire award order will be worst to first by each team's position in the
standings.
Player requests must be
submitted by 11:59pm Eastern each Wednesday night for award between midnight
and 6:00am Eastern Thursday morning. Team owners will be awarded players in
reverse order of standings, worst to first. Beginning with the worst team in
the league, each team owner will be awarded a single player. Then the second
worst team in the league will be award one player, and so on. After each team
in the league has been awarded a maximum of one player, the process will repeat
beginning with the worst team in the league. This process will repeat until all
player requests have been evaluated. If a team makes no player request, that
team will not be awarded any players.
FREE FOR ALL
Beginning with week 5 of
the season, each Thursday at noon Eastern through 12:59pm Sunday free agents
will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. Teams may pick up free
agents at anytime during this free for all period. Team owners may not pick up
players after kickoff their game in any week.
PROTECTED FREE AGENTS
In order to prevent
collusion or coordinated drop trades, any player released from any roster via
the waiver wire or the free for all free agent period shall remain a protected
free agent for 48 hours. This means the player will not be available to be
acquired by any team until 48 hours afte the player
was dropped.
In a further effort to prevent
collusion or unfair competition, if certain highly productive players are
dropped they will become unavailable free agents for the duration of the
season. Team owners will be allowed to replace those players, but other team owners
will not be allowed to acquire the dropped players as free agents.
Additionally, after NFL week 10 of the
season all dropped players will become protected free agents for the duration
of the season. Team owners will still be allowed to drop and replace players,
but other team owners will not be allowed to acquire any dropped players as
free agents.
TRADING RULES
Trades
can be made up until the 9th game of the season. Trading period is after the
Monday night games and before rosters have been turned in for the next week’s
game. The trades may be submitted on the FleaFlicker
website and then approved or denied by the Commissioner. If it appears that two
franchises are trading together to build an "All-Star" team, a league
vote can be called for and a majority must approve or deny the trade. Trades
should be considered permanent. Teams cannot make "temporary" trades.
FRANCHISE PLAYER
The
Quarterback position is considered the Franchise Position. Once a Quarterback is drafted by a franchise,
the rights to all the Quarterbacks from that particular NFL team will be
retained by the franchise. If the
starting Quarterback is injured, benched, cut, etc. then a franchise may select
his backup as it's starter. If a player is submitted as the starting
Quarterback on the Lineup Board and subsequently becomes injured or replaced
prior to game time, then the replacement will be made automatically by League
Offices. Points will be accrued by the
starting Quarterback only. If the starter is injured during the game, points
will not be given for his replacement for that game.
SUPER BOWL
Division
winners and wild card entries go to the Super Bowl Tournament. The team with
the best record will play the team with the worst record. The team with the
next best record will play the team with the next worst record and so on down
the line. Teams that lose in the first round of the Super Bowl Tournament will
advance to the Consolation Bowl Tournament. During playoffs, ties will be
broken using the following scoring: Match position vs
position. QB vs QB. RB
total vs RB total.
WR total vs WR total. TE vs
TE. K vs
K. Whoever has the highest point total, out of a possible 5 points, is the
winner.
SHIT BOWL
Teams
that do not qualify for the Super Bowl Tournament will go to the Shit Bowl
Tournament. Matchups for the Shit Bowl Tournament will be the team with the
best record vs the team with the worst record, and
then the team with the next best record vs the team
with the next worse record, and so on. Losers of the first round of the Shit
Bowl Tournament will go to the Toilet Bowl Tournament. Losers advance in the
Toilet Bowl Tournament until one team comes out as the Toilet Bowl Champion.
CHOKE OF THE YEAR
The
franchise that has the worst coaching percentage, will
be declared the Choke of the Year.
WEEK 17
Conference
Tournaments will be played during the last week of the season. You will be competing against all the other
franchise owners within your Conference. Your team will be composed of 3
players from a your regular team, and 4 players from
any other franchise in the league. Which players at which position you play,
will be your decision. You must play the
standard lineup of 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1TE, and 1K. Each Conference will be playing for a 25
Truck payoff, one winner per Conference.
