: LEAGUE RULES

#1 Starting Lineups

There is no deadline, once a players game is started they are locked either started or benched. This leaves
flexability for those who have Sunday night and Monday night players to change those players as needed

Regardless of the submission deadline, owners may NEVER bench or start a player once
that player's game has begun as the website won't allow it.

RealTime Fantasy Sports STRONGLY recommends a Monday evening deadline to give
owners maximum flexibility to adjust starters for the Sunday and Monday night games.

Failure to start a proper lineup ( ex.. starting players on bye week when you have playing benched players ) will result in commish benching players on bye week for best available player on bench ( based on points season to date and if is playing ). A bye week player or injured players may not be started either to avoid a pick up or lazyness due to being out of playoff race and / or not setting your line up in any given week. If you have injured / replaceable players on bench that can be reasonably replaced so you have a full lineup then you must make moves or Commish will manage team plus you will no longer be playoff eligible or invited to league.

Playing a defense on a bye with no 2nd defense will result in automatic defense lost -4 points.

#2 - 4 playoff teams - 3 division champs + 1 wild card ( wild card is team with most pts and not a division champ)
Tie breakers and playoff seeding to follow

#3 - Any player transaction = $5 a player.

#4 - 1st place = $950
2nd place = $450
3rd place = $150

4th place = $50
all player move money will be split among 4 playoff teams equally

#5 - $25 dollar weekly bonus ( weeks 1-14 ) will be awarded to team with highest amount of pts for that week of their
starting players.

#6 Waiver pickup system by the website by wednesdays.

#7 trade deadline will be week 10 ( nov 7th) all trades are subject to league approval if their is an objection ( majority vote)

#8 trades must be reasonable and fair. Let commish know when they are made so approval can be made on site

#9 dropped players are frozen for a week and all free agent players are frozen from sunday kickoff till end of monday
night football. Waiver system is then applied till Wednesday midnight.

#10 all stats will be done through the web site, argue with it !!

#11 Scores are final on Thursday after RT Sports posts all stats changes

# 12 LINEUPS / PICKUPS
Put it in online, on your own and all transactions are done through the web site.

LINEUPS

- 1 QB, 6 of RB WR TE, 1 K, 1 defense and matching head coach

( total of 6 RB, WR, TE. Must always have 1 TE, 1 WR and 1 RB, you can never have more then 3 RB )

#13 FLEX ROSTERS - drop them, keep them, do whatever you want......

We now have flex rosters and IR no longer exists. You now have 19 roster positions and the minimums per position is 1 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF. You may fill the remaining 9 roster spots with whatever you want. You can keep your injured players and drop your second kicker to cover the injury. ( You will still have to draft the standard 2 QB, 4 RB, 5 WR, 2 TE, 2 K and 2 DEF + 1 optional player and then be able to do whatever you want as stated above with minimums)

19th roster spot can be filled starting with the 1st waiver wire week before season begins/week after the draft.

#13a DEF SCORING, since we have flex rosters, head coach was eliminated so the WIN/LOSS points for a Defense/Speacial Teams will be manually entered. 6 points for a win, -4 points for a loss

# 14 WAIVER POSITION SYSTEM ( website is unavailable from Wednesday at midnight till 6am Thursday, no transactios are
allowed during these 6 hours and will be voided if one is somehow made)

Starting waiver order will be the opposite of your 1st round draft position. TEAM WITH #1 POSITION WILL BE ABLE TO
BID AND GET ANY FREE AGENT PLAYER DURING WAIVER PICK UP SYSTEM BETWEEN TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MIDNIGHT.
TEAMS WITH WAIVER POSITION 2-12 MAY ALSO BID PLAYERS AS SOMEONE BELOW THEM MAY NOT BE BIDDING ANYONE. AFTER YOU BID A
PLAYER AND GET THE PLAYER YOU WILL NOW MOVE TO THE NUMBER 12 POSITION AND EVERYONE ELSE MOVES DOWN A SPOT. IF
MULTIPLE TEAMS BID DIFFERENT PLAYERS AND RECIEVE THEM THE TEAM WITH THE LOWER WAIVER POSITION MOVE TO THE TOP BUT
STILL BELOW THE TEAM WITH THE HIGHER POSITION. EX.... WAIVER TEAMS # 1 AND # 6 BID AND GET 2 DIFFERENT PLAYERS, TEAM
# 1 MOVES TO #11 AND TEAM # 6 MOVES TO # 12. JUST THAT SIMPLE.

NOTE.............................................FREE AGENT PICK UPS starting thursday mornings at 6am WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR WAIVER
POSITION
