Hey All,
As a new class of greats heads into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and NFL squads are all busting their butts in training camp, It's time for us armchair GMs to get ready for the third season of the UMFL. So, without further ado..

Here are the League Rules:
1. Draft? There is no draft. Each owner will send me a roster and team name before the deadline of 9- 8-2010. Like last year, each roster will be different. If two teams have the same roster I'll ask both teams to change one player.

2. Roster: Your Roster will be as follows:
2 QBs
3 RBs
3 WR/TEs
2 K
2 Defenses (Yes, you will pick two full defenses. I.E. the Cowboys and Packers defenses.)
2 QBs
3 RBs
3 WR/TEs
2 K
2 Defenses (Yes, you will pick two full defenses. I.E. the Cowboys and Packers defenses.)
3. Starting Lineup: Each owner will submit a starting lineup for each game to the commissioner. Your starting lineup must consist of players from your roster and will consist of: 1 QB, 2RB, 2 WR/TE, 1 K, and 1 Defense.
4. Scoring: QB: QBs are awarded 1 point for every 20 yards gained passing and 1 point for every 10 yards gained rushing. All TDs scored by air or ground count for 6 points each. I will use common rounding off procedures in for point calculation.
ex. QB-A throws for 213 yards, runs for 26 yards and throws for 3 TDs. That day would be worth 32 points.
213 P-Yds (11 pts.)+ 26 R-Yds.= (2) pts.+ 3TDs (18 pts.)= 32 pts.
WR/TE: WR/TEs earn 1 point for every 20 yds. receiving, 1 point for every 10 yards rushing and 6 points for every TD scored. And yes, if they happen to throw the ball, they will get 1 point for every 20 yds. passing.
RB: RBs are scored the same as WR/TEs.
K: K's get 1 point for each PAT and 3 Points for each FG. Oh, and, yes if they happen to run, catch, or throw the ball, they will get credit for it like the other skill position players.
Defense: Each defensive unit earns points in this manner. Each Sack is worth 2 points. Each turnover forced is worth 3 points and each TD scored by a defender is worth 6 points.
Note: Kickoff returns and punt returns for a TD will only be counted only if the skill position player who scores the TD is in your starting lineup.

5. Bye weeks: Hopefully you will put a roster together that will take bye weeks into account. If you don't, you can use any other player to sub for the bye week affected player.
6. Roster moves: You only get three, yes just three roster moves because a player is lousy. So pick wisely. Also, any player can be subbed for who is injured or on a bye week without it counting against your three roster moves.
7. Playoff structure: That will depend on the final size of the league. If we have enough teams, I'll add a wild card round to this year's schedule. I usually like ending the league by week 14 or 15 of the regular NFL season.
8. Have fun!!!!
