Official 2024 OFL Bylaws
The entry fee for the league is $150 and is due by the time of the draft. If necessary, arrangements can be made on payment. The draft for the 2024 season will take place, online, on Sunday, August 25, 2024 at 7:00 pm. Draft will be held on the league site (rtsports.com). The draft order will be set randomly the day prior. You will be able to enter the draft by simply clicking on DRAFT ROOM beneath the countdown clock on the main page, or by clicking on the menus LEAGUE & DRAFT ROOM. If you're using the app, you can just click on DRAFT. The draft will consist of 17 rounds and will move in a standard, serpentine style with 2 minutes between picks. If you don't make a selection in time, the site will auto-draft a player for you.
Each owner will make a selection each round to fill out their roster, which will be composed of 17 spots. Owners must draft: 1 Quarterback, 2 Running Backs, 2 Wide Receivers, 1 Tight End, 1 Kicker & 1 Defense/Special Teams Unit. For the remaining roster spots, owners may select any position, but there is a maximum number of selections for each position that owners cannot exceed. The max for each position is as follows:
In addition to your 17 spots on your roster, you are able to have 2 players on your IR after Week 1. Please remember that you're able to add a player to the IR even if they're not injured. The purpose of the IR is to serve as a reserve location for players, without having to keep them within roster guidelines. There is no cost for placing a player on, or taking them off your IR.
STARTING LINEUPS
Prior to each week’s games, owners can input their lineups as early as Wednesdays, each week of the season. Your starting lineup for each week would consist of: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF/ST & a FLEX, which would be 1 of the following: 3rd RB...3rd WR...2nd TE.
The site will allow you to input a player up until that player's game starts. Keep in mind, if you have a player in an earlier game (Thurs or Sat), they must be in your lineup before that game starts. On the opposite end, if you have a player in a late game (Sun or Mon night), and they don't play, you wouldn't get any points from that player. However, you would have the option of starting another player at that position if you find out before that game starts. If you don't have another option on your roster, you can pick up a free agent to substitute in for that game (if before the Free Agent period ends).
SCORING
The league uses PPR scoring, with 6 pts for each TD regardless of position. Along with points for yardage, scoring and receptions, bonus scoring is in place. Bonus points are awarded when a player reaches a certain amount of yardage, has a scoring play over a certain yardage amount, or other similar scenarios. For a full breakdown on scoring, feel free to check out that section of the league rules.
FANTASY SEASON
Regular Season: Wk 1 thru Wk 15 NFL Season
Post-Season: Wk 16 and Wk 17 of Season (Week 18 of the season has no effect on the fantasy league, w/ exception to NFL Picks & NFL Survivor Pools)
Teams are not broken into divisions. In the regular season, all owners will play each team once, and; will face 6 owners, twice. The fantasy schedule is automatically generated thru the site following the draft and will determine weekly match-ups. There is no tie breaker for regular season games. The result of the game would be a tie...For the post-season, a tie breaker IS used - REGULAR SEASON POINTS.
The teams w/ the 4 best records will qualify for the Post-Season. The teams will be seeded #1 through #4, based on final standings. The Post-Season will begin NFL Week 16 w/ #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3. The winners of each game will compete in Week 17 to decide this year's champion.
Bronze Bowl: The consolation game for 3rd place will take place in Week 17 of the season & will be between the two eliminated playoff teams.
FREE AGENTS
The cost to add a Free Agent to your roster is $2.00. This would go toward your transaction fees and would be due by the start of Week 16 (start of playoffs) of the season. Owners may request free agents (FA) thru the waiver wire (WW) each wk from after Week 1 thru Week 15. FA are distributed based on a tumbler waiver order. Initial order for the tumbler will be set based on draft position. & move in reverse draft order w/ the team that drafted last being 1st on the priority list. For each week of the season, the order will change based on how many free agents have been acquired be each owner (i.e. the owner who has obtained the most free agents will be moved to the last spot in the waiver wire & so on, for the following week). The most free agents awarded each week is 3 through the WW, but; you can request as many as you want. To request a FA, click on the menus, TEAM & WW. You will have your roster on 1 side & a list of available players on the other. To request a FA, you would click on the player you would like to add to your roster, and a player currently on your roster. You would need to either drop the player on your current roster, or move them to your IR in order to add the FA you selected.
Please remember the maximums and minimums for each position. For example, if you request a RB, but; you already have the max at that position on your roster, the site will not allow you to acquire the requested player, so make sure your request is valid. Also, you can't involve a player that is on your IR in a WW request. The site won't allow that request to go through either. You can only select players that are on your active roster. The deadline for requesting players thru the WW is Wednesdays at 11:59 P.M.
On the next day, Thursday, as of 7:00 P.M., FA can be picked up w/o using the WW. At that time & up until the start of the Monday night game, you will be able to add as many FA as you want by clicking on TEAM & ADD/DROP. There is no order of priority as in the WW. It's first come, first served, but; remember the same charge of $2 per FA applies.
After Week 15, free agents aren’t able to be picked up. The only exception, would be the Mercy Rule. If an owner doesn't have enough players to compose a starting lineup from their roster due to injuries, suspensions or any other reason; they can notify the commissioner who would perform the action to acquire a FA to make a complete, starting lineup. This also applies to Week 1. Please notify as me soon as you are aware that you need a player, as I won't be able to add a FA for you once their game starts. There is no cost for picking up a FA through the Mercy Rule.
TRADES
The cost for a trade is $5.00 to each team, regardless of number of players involved in the trade. This would go toward your transaction fees and would also be due by Week 15 of the season. Trades can be proposed by owners following the end of Wk 1 & until Wk 12. A trade must be agreed to by 1:00 on Sundays. An owner can propose a trade to another owner thru contacting them thru any means they like, or on the site. To officially propose a trade on the site, select the menus, TEAMS & TRADES. If a trade is agreed upon, I will be notified & finalize the trade. Pls be advised that if you do propose a trade that conflicts w/ the max for rosters, similar to the WW, the site will not allow the trade to take place. (example: if a trade would result in you having above the max number of WR, the site will not allow the trade to go through). You can also not trade anyone on your IR.
Please note that a tool owners can use when attempting to trade is the Trade Block. Owners can place a player on the trade block & post the position(s) they need for other owners to view.
A trade can be denied by the commissioner if it is found to be very unbalanced, or is overly suspicious (i.e., Josh Allen for Daniel Jones). This decision is at the discretion of the commissioner and all decisions made will be based on the integrity of the league. If there is strong objection by several owners to a trade that has been approved or denied, it will be re-reviewed.
FEES
All transaction fees are due in full by the start of Week 15. You can check what you owe by clicking on REPORTS & FEES.
METHODS OF PAYMENT
Payment of the entry fee and transaction fees can be made a variety of ways:
COST BREAKDOWN
The prizes awarded are based on the total amount of entry fees w/ deduction of league costs:
Entry fee total -- $1500 (10 teams x 150) minus cost for site (60) = $1440 remain
PRIZES
BONUSES
In addition to the regular prizes, bonuses are able to be won. Bonus money is all cash spent for free agents & trades. The total amount is divided 3 ways, equally. (example: if bonus money totals $300....the following 3 bonuses would be worth $100 each). The bonuses are:
1) NFL Picks (Weeks 1 thru 18) - each owner will make a pick for the winner of each game for each week of the NFL regular season. This will begin in Week 1 & take place through Week 18. To submit your picks, click on the menus POOLS - NFL PICKS & MAKE PICKS. After picking the winner of each NFL game, be sure to click SUBMIT. Make sure to double check that your picks were properly saved after submitting. Note that the point spread is NOT factored into these games.
2) NFL Survivor Pool (Weeks 1 thru 18) - new this season is the NFL Survivor Pool, which will work the same as any standard knock out pool you may have done before. Before each week, owners will select an NFL team they think has the best chance of winning that week. To submit your pick, click on the menus POOLS - SURVIVOR & MAKE PICKS. Be sure to click SUBMIT after making your pick. Note that you can only select a team one time over the season, so choose wisely. If the team you select wins, you move on to the following week, if they lose, you're out. Pool will continue until there is only 1 owner remaining, or the end of Week 18, whichever comes first.
3) High scoring, single game over the fantasy regular and post-season (Weeks 1 thru 17) - can be tracked by clicking on LEAGUE & SCHEDULE.
