Here are the rules for Survivor Fantasy Football League.
Number of players 16. Entry fee - $10 for the entire season.
WEEK TO WEEK PLAY - During week #1 all 16 players begin and this is the only week that a player is NOT eliminated. However, there will be a team that wins immunity which is the highest score of the week. If you hold immunity, then you can not be eliminated the following week regardless of your score (you get a FREE pass). If the immunity holder happens to be the lowest score during the next week of play, then the team eliminated will be the second lowest score OR the lowest scoring team that does not have immunity.
During weeks #2 through week #14 the highest score will win immunity for the following week and a weekly pay-out (see pay-out schedule below), while the lowest score or the lowest score who does not hold immunity from the previous week will be eliminated from the game. Only ONE team will win immunity, if there is a tie, then the tie will be broken by the score of your QBs first, then by your kicker, then tight end and finally defensives teams.
During week #15 only three teams remain alive for the championship. There
will be an immunity winner from week #14 and the lowest score will be
eliminated, HOWEVER there will not be an immunity winner for the following
week which would be the championship game or final week.
During week #16 (the final week) only two teams remain ... NO immunity was earned from the previous week, so the low score is eliminated and the high
scorer is the SOLE SURVIVOR and 2007 Survivor League champion.
ROSTER - You will draft a starting line-up before the season starts ... and
that is your team. After week #1 you will be given the opportunity to add
ONE (1) RB or WR player to your roster. You are only allowed to change your
line-up one time with that player (the substitute player you draft after week
#1) throughout the season because of injury, NFL bye or lack of productive
*Here is your starting line-up (11 rounds):
2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker (who is NAMED) and
2 Defenses
This is not only a quarterback league (have I said that before?), but it is also a big time yardage league, so you can make up for the NFL bye weeks or those nagging injures.

by the order of last season's finish. If you are new then you will pick near the bottom..
NOTE: I used to think this was a quarterback league, but not so sure anymore. Either way as you can see each of 16 players will start 2 quarterbacks - 32 NFL quarterbacks start each week. Because of this I want to protect your QBs from a season ending injury. If you have a QB that is injured and OUT for the season
or placed on injured reserve which means out for the season, then your survivor fantasy team will be given that players back-up quarterback (whoever starts at QB for your injured player's team the following week, then the same rule would apply to that QB, your new QB). HOWEVER, you will not be protected from a nagging week-to-week injury or a QB who is pulled because of lack of production. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOUR STARTING QB IS REPLACED BECAUSE OF INJURY, then he can ONLY become your starting QB again if his back-up is listed as OUT on the official NFL injury report. You can not change between you starting QB and his back-up for any reason EXCEPT for being listed as OUT.
Started in 2005 ... you are allowed one QB roster move. Understand that you can still replace your QB if he is listed as "OUT" but this rule allows one QB roster move you can replace your starter if your drafted QB returns to action. This can also be used if your drafted QB is benched because of poor perforamce or ahs nagging injury.
Started last year you get ONE additional roster move either TE or kicker replacement. Make this move if either your kicker or TE gets hurt, benched, released or just sucks. If you choose to replace your TE after week #2 and then your kciker gets cut after week #5, then you are out of luck and roster moves. Be advised his is ONE transaction for both positions NOT one transaction for each position (NOT TEAM TIED).
DRAFT - The draft will be done through the internet with e-mail. The draft
order will be determined by a blind draw and you will make 11 selections.
There will be 186 players drafted for this league. So you will need to be able
to go very deep into NFL rosters to make your selections. We have done this draft now for four years ... it is going to be the same this year. Please look at it as FUN and not why is it taking so long! I am going to start the draft on August 1st, so we have nearly 40 days to select 186 players that is less than five (5) picks a day. You can submit a list when it gets close to your pick. If 24 hours passes and I have not heard from you, then the yahoo default list will be used! Thanks!
(immunity holder weeks 1-15)
$4 x 15 weeks = $60
NFL Survivor Winner - $60
NFL Survivor Runner-up - $20
Third place - $8
Fourth place - $7
*New for 2007 - $5 (misc. prize)
Because there are SO many QB question marks each year and becasue we start this draft so early, I am allowing BOTH of your QB selections to be a TEAM QB selection. This will help you if the projected start doesn't appear to be on schedule, but then DOES start game #1 or if the projected starters has a very capable back-up and gets injured before the season. On Labor Day you must declare your starting QBs. They do not have to start the NFL season as was required required in the past ... this is the BIG BEN rule! Big Dan knows what I mean ... right?
The after week #1 roster addition player (either a RB or WR) will be drafted based on last season finish, if you are new you will be picking near the bottom. After week #1 all 16 players are still alive each owner will add one player to his roster as a substitute player. You are allowed to make ONE (1) change to your line-up during the season your added player (RB or WR). You can put your new player directly into the starting line-up or you can add him as a Sub to add to your line-up later in the year because of a NFL bye week, injury or poor performance.
Last possible move - if you have added your substitute RB or WR to your line-up and one of your five position players is placed on the NFL IR then you can make one final transaction ... pick a player for the same NFL team that plays the same position as your injured player, however here is the catch you only get 1/2 of his FANTASY points. And you are only allowed to make this type of move a minimum of one week after adding your substitute player to your line-up.
In case of a tie for the championship (Week 16), the tie will be broken during Week #17. If there is still a tie the co-champions will split the prize money equally. Tehre is no QBs ect. tie-breaker here.
In case of a tie between two or more players for the lowest score, then they will be able to break their tie the following week. The lowest score of the tie breaker players is eliminated first then the low score of all other remaining players is eliminated. The tie breaker players are not eligible for immunity or weekly pay-outs (this decision is made because my other option is to eliminate all low tie score players from the previous week) during their tie-breaker week.
Also, those players breaking their tie will not be able to change their line-up during the tie-breaker week for any reason to help break the tie.
NOTE: I, the commissioner, was eliminated from the game in 2005 because I could NOT change my line-up after tying for last place in scoring one week.
