The rules are simple.
I want to keep the rules to a minimum, however some guidelines must be respected.
1) Don't go for it on fourth downs in your own territory, unless of course, you're losing and it's late in the game.
2) Don't run up the score.
3) You can run your plays how you see fit, on both sides of the ball. Still, the ultimate goal is to have an enjoyable experience. Try to mix up your plays.
4) You will be required to post a scouting report after every game, as well as a quick overview in the team newspaper section. This promotes activity on the forum and in the league.
5) For the first season, or until all teams are filled. Trades will be limited. I would like to adress this issue ASAP, as well as a Salary Cap.
6) You must register here

And finally, try to maintain a level of sportsmanship.
These guidelines are subject to change, depending on how a majority of the owners feel. We will implement a Council to review rules, as well as every other aspect of the league.
