Hey All,
Are you ready for some football!?!
Yes, I know I'm a little late, but here's the UMFL rules for 2014!!!!!!!! We should have a really fun league this year!!!!
Note: The deadline for submitting your rosters and team names is September 1, 2014 at 5:30PM PDT.
Here are the League Rules:
1. Draft? There is no draft. Each owner will send me a roster and team name before the deadline. I need time to make up the schedule.
2. Roster Makeup: Each roster will look 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 the Jaguars defenses)
3. Starting Lineup: Each owner will submit a starting lineup for each game. Your lineup will consist of players from your roster and will look as follows...
1 QB
2 RBs
2 WR/TEs
1 K
1 Defense
4. Scoring: QBs: 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 as 6 points each. I will use common rounding off procedures for point calculation.
ex. QB-A throws for 213 yards, runs for 24 yards and throws for 3 TDS. QB-A will have had a 31 point day. (213 P-Yds =11 pts. +24 R-yds.= 2 pts. +3TDs = 18 pts.)
RBs + WR/TEs: they get 1 point for every 10 yards rushing, 1 point for every 10 yards receiving and 6 points for each TD scored. Oh, and if they happen to throw the ball, they will get 1 point for every 20 yards passing.
PK: Each PAT is worth one point and each FG is worth 3 points. Oh, and if they handle the ball at all they will be credited for their efforts exactly like the position players.
Defense: Each defensive unit earns points in this manner. Each sack is worth 2 points, each turnover is worth 3 points and each TD is worth 6 points.
Note: All kickoff and punt returns for a TD will only be counted if that player is in your starting lineup that week.
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. Watch The Schedule: The NFL is starting Thursday Night Football in September this year, so if you have a player or players in that week's matchup, let me know you're using them before that game starts.

7. Roster Moves: You only get three, yes just three roster moves because a player is lousy. So pick wisely. Also, remember any player can be subbed for who is injured without it counting against your three roster moves.
8. Playoff Structure: Don't know yet. I'll see what works best after I get all the league signups.
9. Have Fun!!!
