League Structure:

The league will be split between two leagues: The Golden League and The Silver League. ​Generally speaking, teams in the Silver League are hoping to win their way to a spot in the ​Golden League, and teams in the Golden League are hoping to win games to retain their ​spot in the Golden League. (see “Relegation/Promotion” below for more information)

  • ONLINE HOST: Each league will be hosted on Yahoo Fantasy as separate leagues, both ​set to allow public viewing.
  • MATCHUPS: Teams will only play other teams within their league.
  • PLAYERS: The two leagues will not share player pools (all NFL players can be drafted in ​both leagues).
  • COMMISSIONERS: Each league should have a minimum of one commissioner. (If all four ​commissioners are in the same league, someone from the other league will be picked ​to serve as league manager in charge of enacting the requests of the other ​commissioners.)
  • SCORING: The two leagues will have the same scoring settings.
  • CHAMPIONSHIPS: Each league will have its own playoff bracket and championship ​game, so there will be two league champions every year: winner of the Golden League ​and winner of the Silver League.
  • RELEGATION/PROMOTION + Prizes (Post-Playoff Standings):
    • Golden League
      • 1st Place (Champion; Monetary Prize; Commissioner’s Bonus; Stay in Golden ​League)
      • 2nd Place (Runner-Up; Monetary Prize; Stay in Golden League)
      • 3rd Place (Monetary Prize; Stay in Golden League)
      • 4th Place (Stay in Golden League)
      • 5th Place (Winner of Consolation; First Choice of Draft Position; Stay in Golden ​League)
      • 6th Place (Demotion to Silver League)
      • 7th Place (Demotion to Silver League)
      • 8th Place (Demotion to Silver League)
    • Silver League
      • 1st Place (Champion; Monetary Prize; Promotion to Golden League)
      • 2nd Place (Runner-Up; Monetary Prize; Promotion to Golden League)
      • 3rd Place (Monetary Prize; Promotion to Golden League)
      • 4th Place (Stay in Silver League)
      • 5th Place (Winner of Consolation; First Choice of Draft Position; Stay in Silver ​League)
      • 6th Place (Shame; Stay in Silver League)
      • 7th Place (Shame; Stay in Silver League)
      • 8th Place (Shame; Stay in Silver League)
    • FIRST YEAR (2023): The 16 teams will be drafted by the commissioners into two ​temporary leagues (2 commissioners per league). Therefore, there will not be a ​Golden or Silver League until 2024, after managers have had the chance to win ​their spot in the Golden League in 2023.
    • SECOND YEAR (2024): Teams finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Place (post-playoff ​standings) in each league will form the Golden League in 2024. Teams finishing ​5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Place (post-playoff standings) in each league will form the ​Silver League in 2024.
    • THIRD YEAR+ (2025+): See “RELEGATION/PROMOTION”.

Keepers:

Keepers will not be used for either league primarily due to the possibility of two teams ​having the same keeper after promotions/demotions. Furthermore, the swapping of teams ​after each year, prevents the use of Yahoo’s integrated keeper tools.

Draft:

  • Drafts for both leagues will follow the same rules/formats and would each have their ​own distinct pool of players to draft from.
  • LOCATION: Draft will be held in an online draft room through Yahoo’s fantasy website.
  • TIME AND DATE: Time and date for each league’s drafts will be decided by their ​respective commissioners, but must be held after the last preseason game, and ​before the first game of Week One.
  • STRUCTURE: Teams will be picking players in a snake format with 15 rounds.
  • TIME PER PICK: Each team will have 2 minutes per pick to make their selection.
  • POSITIONAL LIMITS: No positional limits will be implemented.
  • DRAFT DAY TRADES: Trading of Players and Picks will not be allowed during the draft. ​Picks must be traded prior to the day of the draft.
  • DRAFT ORDER: Teams will pick which draft position they prefer in an order that is ​based on the previous year’s post-playoff standings:
    • Golden League
      • 5th Place of Golden
      • 3rd Place of Silver
      • 2nd Place of Silver
      • 1st Place of Silver
      • 4th Place of Golden
      • 3rd Place of Golden
      • 2nd Place of Golden
      • 1st Place of Golden
    • Silver League
      • 5th Place of Silver

      • 8th Place of Golden

  • MATCHUPS: 1st Seed will be matched up against 4th Seed; 2nd Seed will be matched up ​with 3rd Seed.
  • SEEDING: Seeding will follow post-regular season standings with the exception of the ​4th seed which will be reserved for the highest scoring player among 4th, 5th, 6th, ​7th, and 8th.

Trades:

Trades will be evaluated by all commissioners regardless of league. It is not the ​commissioner’s responsibility to determine the fairness of the trade, but rather determine ​that the trade is not the result of, or the attempt of collusion or player dumping/donating.

  • TRADE APPROVAL: All commissioners will be part of a commissioner-only group chat, ​where screenshots of trades are sent for approval. Each pair of commissioners are ​responsible for approving or rejecting their league’s trades. Both commissioners ​should express approval of no collusion or player dumping/donating before being ​approved in Yahoo Fantasy Football.
  • COMMISSIONER TRADES: Commissioners may not approve any trade that they are ​involved in. The uninvolved commissioner must express approval to push. If both ​commissioners are involved, approval is kicked over to the commissioners of the other ​league where only one approval is needed.
  • TRADE DEADLINE: The trade deadline will be set to the latest day possible allowed by ​Yahoo that isn’t “no deadline at all” and that arrives before the start of playoffs.

Waiver Wire:

We will follow Yahoo’s default settings, which are as follows:

  • Waivers will be determined weekly through a rolling list based on standings (8th, 7th, ​6th, etc.)
  • All un-rostered players will be placed on waivers at the start of their games.
  • Free agents can be added directly into a team’s IR slot.
  • Players will remain on the waiver wire for one day (Tuesday), and waivers are ​processed on Wednesday morning.

Code of Conduct:

All team managers should strive to foster a positive and enjoyable environment for all ​participants. This includes:

  • INTEGRITY: All managers will uphold the integrity of the league by following the rules ​and guidelines set forth in the league constitution. Cheating, collusion, or any form of ​unfair advantage-seeking will not be tolerated. This also includes any instances of ​self-sabotage (i.e. dropping all your players, purposely throwing a game, gifting wins, ​etc.)
    • If the commissioners determine that a team manager has intentionally acted ​unfairly (whether or not there are prewritten rules outlining that particular type ​of behavior), then the commissioners may determine what is the best course of ​action.
    • No rule that is defined in this ruleset may be changed during the season.
  • RULE CHANGES: Commissioners will let managers know of any rule changes in a timely ​manner.
  • ACTIVE PARTICIPATION: All managers will actively manage their fantasy football teams ​throughout the season, ensuring that lineups are set on time, and roster adjustments ​are made to the best of our abilities. Inactivity or neglecting teams may result in ​necessary actions taken by the league commissioners. (We understand that life gets in ​the way sometimes, but repeated neglect is not tolerable.)

Team Managers:

  • EMAILS: Commissioners will be in charge of collecting and storing the emails of the ​participating managers.
  • OFF-SEASON DEPARTURE: If a manager leaves during the offseason, they are replaced ​and their replacement will automatically play their first season in the Silver League.
    • DRAFT POSITIONS: They will be given the remaining draft position after the other ​teams have made their selections. If multiple managers leave, replacements are ​given draft positions at a random order.
    • PROMOTIONS: If a manager of the Golden League were to leave, the next highest ​ranking member of the Silver League is promoted.
    • CHANGES IN DRAFT RULES: If managers leaving were to cause a shift in draft rules, ​then commissioners will adjust in a way they see fit and fair.
  • IN-SEASON DEPARTURE OR DISQUALIFICATION: If something were to occur to cause the ​departure of a manager during the season (i.e. collusion, team abandonment, etc.) ​then a commissioner of the other league will take over the team and play their highest ​projected players.
    • PLAYOFFS AND PRIZE: The eligibility of playoffs and prizes for teams that suffer ​from the departure of a manager will be determined by the commissioners on a ​case by case basis.

Theming:

  • Theming for either league is highly encouraged but not required.
  • The theme for either league is chosen by their respective ​commissioners with or without the input of the managers.
  • NAMING: The naming of each league shall remain the same every year ​with the only adjustment made being the Roman numeral that ​follows it.
