Making the Playoffs
The fantasy playoffs begin in the 15th week of the NFL's regular season. The 3 division winners + the 3 top wild card places will make it to the playoffs. Division champs are the teams that win the Division 1, 2 & 3. The next three teams according to the tie-breaker below are the wild card teams. The wild card teams may come from any division.

Tie-Breakers for Division Championship/Playoff Seeding
In the event that two or more teams have identical won-loss records at the conclusion of the season, and have played the same number of Head-to-Head games between them, the following tie-breaking system is employed:

Division Champion Tiebreaker for teams with Identical Records:
Two Clubs

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best net points in all games.
4. Best net touchdowns in all games.
5. Coin Toss

Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3 . Best net points in all games.
4 . Best net touchdowns in all games.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Tie-Breaker for Playoff Games
In the event that two teams have the same number of points at the conclusion of their two week playoff game, the tiebreaker for Playoff Games will be:
1.  The highest winning percentage against this opponenet during the regular season.
2.  Total season points to date.
3.  The highest seeing in the playoffs.

Playoff Schedule
In Round One (Week 15) of the playoffs, the division winners (Seeds 1 & 2) will have a bye week. Seed 3 will play Seed 6 and Seed 4 will play Seed 5. In Round Two (Week 16), the winners of Round One will play the division winners. Seed 1 will lowest seeded team that advances. Seed 2 will play the highest seeded team that advances. The two winners will compete for the League Championship in Week 17.

Trade Rules

Due to a recent issue, I need to make trading rules clear.  If a team initiates a trade and the other team accepts the trade, it then goes to a league vote for 3 days.  At that point the trade is processed as long as it is approved.
Neither team involved in the trade is allowed to drop any of the players that are part of the trade.  The system does not stop someone from actually dropping one of those players.  So if this does happen, then as the commissioner, I will adjust the rosters to force the trade of the players that were involved in the trade.  You will also lose any player from your roster that you picked up in the waiver wire by dropping the player involved in the trade.

Once a trade is accepted by both parties, there is no way to back out of it unless the trade is rejected by the league.
Also be aware that trades are rejected by the system automatically if it creates an invalid roster for any team.

Roster Limits
You must have at least the min and no more than the max of all of the following positions

POS	MIN	MAX
QB	2	4
RB	4	6
WR	4	6
TE	2	4
K	2	4
DEF	2	2

Be sure to go to Franchise Setup and click on the Advanced link.
There are a lot of features in the system to have it email you when certain actions take place, such as your opponents starting lineups, active trades, etc
It is important because all trades are sent to the league for a vote.

Remember all waiver wire transactions are $2.00 per (drop/add).

NOTE:  The playoff bracket will change after the first round so that the 1st place seed will play the lowest seed in week 2 of the playoffs, etc.
