[1.0 League Overview] Welcome to LBFFL, Legion of Boom Fantasy Football League. This is a 10-team league that was formed in 2012 by a competitive family of football fans who lives in Washington State. This league is considered a money league, and all owners are expected to pay their league fee before the draft begins. This league is designed to be a competition between owners, but its not a cut-throat league where anything goes. The rules described below are designed to act as a guideline for overall league play, and any disputes will be handled by the executive committee of the league. Please remember that the overall goal of this league is to have fun and enjoy the game of football. If you have any question or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. [1.1 Executive Committee] The executive committee for LBFFL for 2013 consists of: Commissioner Richard Cranium (360) ***-**** [cell] Co-Commissioner Bob Lablah (360) ***-**** [cell] The executive committee will be responsible for resolving all disputes that are not expressly covered by this constitution. If a committee member is involved in the dispute, that member will excuse themselves from the decision process. While all owners are encouraged to submit suggestions to the committee, the committee's decision on all matters is final. [1.2 Living Constitution] It is important to note that this is a living, breathing constitution that will change and evolve over the lifetime of this league. Changes will happen between seasons as often as possible and will be effective from that point moving forward. If you have suggestions for changes, please submit them to one of the executive committee members. [2.0 League Financing] The league fee for LBFFL will be charged to each team owner and committee member, payable to the co-commissioner on or before the night of the draft. If a team owner does not have the appropriate entry fee, the executive committee may make other arrangements for payment before the season starts at their discretion.

[2.1 League Fee]

The LBFFL league fee for the 2013 season will be $60 from each owner. This fee consists of $50 entry fee plus $10 from each owner to cover the cost of the league trophy which will be purchased during the 2013 season. This fee is due on or before the draft. [2.2 Prize Money] League prize money will be paid out within seven days of the completion of the LBFFL Super Bowl. Money will be held and kept safe by the co-commissioner. League Champion receives $300 League Runner-Up receives $150 League Toilet Bowl Campion receives $50 [3.0 League Setup and Competition] The LBFFL will consist of 10 different teams, broken into two conferences or divisions of 5 teams each. The schedule will be randomly generated, with each team playing every other team at least once in head-to-head match-up. Teams will also play some teams twice, but no more than twice. [3.1 Division Rankings] Teams will be ranked within each division based on the following criteria: Overall Winning Percentage Total Points Scored by the Starters - Year to Date Total Points Scored by Head-to-head Opponents - Year to Date [3.2 Playoffs] After the completion of the regular season, the top 4 teams regardless of division will make the playoffs. Seeding will be based off same criteria as above. All other teams will play in the Toilet Bowl Cup for a chance to win their entry fee back. [4.0 Rosters and Line-ups] Rosters in LBFFL consist of 16 active players from any NFL team. Your roster has a maximum number of players allowed for each position, as follows: QB-4 RB-8 WR-8 TE-3 Def-3 K-3

[4.1 The Draft] The commissioner will designate a draft night each season. Owners are expected to attend the draft in person, and must have all league fees paid at, or before, the draft. In the event an owner is unable to attend in person every effort should be made to be there via live telephone or Skype video. The draft order will be determined by a random draw. Owners will pick numbers (No. 1 through No. 10) out of a hat, and the number will correspond with their draft position in the first round. The draft will be a serpentine order, where the person with the first pick in Round 1 will have the last pick in Round 2 and the first pick in Round 3. When it is the owner's turn to draft, they will have two minutes to make their pick. The commissioner will designate a timekeeper and when the timer expires, the next owner may be allowed to make their selection. The skipped owner will then have another 30 seconds to make their pick, or the next owner will be on the clock. Leniency will be showed in this first year of an offline draft. [4.2 Free Agency] Free Agency will be conducted on a waiver wire basis. Owners may add or drop as many players from their active rosters each week as they see competitively fit. Waiver wire order resets each week to inverse order of overall standings. Waiver wire wait period will be 2 days. [4.3 Trades] Trading is allowed and encouraged in LBFFL, and may be conducted between any owners. Trades may include multiple players from any position, as well as draft picks. Owners may not make trades during any given week once the first NFL game has been played. Owners are free to trade once the final NFL game of the week is complete. Once a trade is accepted by both owners the rest of the owners have a chance to vote in favour of vetoing or allowing the trade. Veto voting is open for 4 days, after that time if majority have not voted against said trade, the transaction will be accepted. You have plenty of time to vote and voice your opinion if you see fit. No trades will be allowed after Week 10 of the fantasy football season. [4.3.1 Trade Veto] The executive committee reserves the right to reverse any trade that they deem inconsistent with league competition and fair-play standards. This veto will only be invoked in extreme cases where it is obvious that one owner is trying to give another owner an unfair advantage. The owners in question may offer reasons why the trade should be allowed, but the decision of the executive committee is final once it has been rendered. If the trade involves a committee member, they may offer reasons for the trade to be allowed will not have a say in the final committee decision. [4.4 Starting Line-ups]

Starting line-ups in LBFFL will consist as follows: 1 quarterback 2 running backs 2 wide receivers 1 tight end 1 flex position(running back, wide receiver, or tight end) 1 place kicker 1 defense / special teams Owners must submit their starting line-up each week. Players may be added or removed from the starting line-up up until the start of the first NFL game. On weeks where the NFL has a Thursday game, owners may make changes to their line-ups up to the start of the second NFL game, but may not change a player that has already played. For example, if you started your quarterback on Thursday night and he has a bad game, you cannot switch him out for a quarterback who has not played. Also, if you did not start a wide receiver that played on Thursday night and he scored three touchdowns, you cannot add him to your line-up on Friday. Once the Thursday game begins, players from that game may not be started or benched. [4.5 Bye-week Penalties] It is each owner's responsibility to submit a valid line-up each week and active players in every position. Although at this time there is no penalty for submitting an invalid line-up, it is highly frowned upon. If it becomes a reoccurring problem amenities will be made to enforce penalties on owners who fail to submit a valid line-up. [4.6 Active Ownership Requirements] Each owner is expected to actively manage their team each week, even if they are eliminated from any playoff consideration. Owners must submit a line-up each week even if their line-up is the same as the previous week. Owners who do not submit a line-up by the start of the first Sunday NFL game will carry-over the previous week's line-up and will not be allowed to change it. Any additional penalties for starting a bye-week or injured player will also be assessed to a lineup that has been carried over. If an owner does not submit a line-up for two consecutive weeks, the executive committee will have the right to assume control of the team and manage it for the rest of the season. A committee run team may not make any trades and is only allowed to add or drop players if the team cannot field a legal starting line-up due to injury or bye weeks. Any prize money won by a committee-run team will be distributed evenly to the other active owners in the league.

[4.7 Anti-Tanking Provision]

LBFFL is a competitive league, created for the league owners to have fun playing fantasy football. While the competition may be fierce, this is not considered a cut-throat league. In the spirit of competition and league fairness, owners are not allowed to intentionally create a legal starting line-up that gives the opposing team a clear advantage. The executive committee reserves the right to step in and adjust the starting line-up of a team that is clearly trying to intentionally lose a game. If the committee must adjust a team's line-up in two consecutive weeks or for three or more weeks in any one season, the team will be considered inactive and the executive committee may assume ownership of the team as detailed in the active ownership requirements section. [5.0 Scoring System] Scoring in LBFFL will be computed to two decimal places. This will allow points to be awarded or deducted for every positive or negative yard and will dramatically reduce the chance of a tie game. Players are awarded fantasy points for each week that they are included in the team's starting line-up. Players may only start at one position in any given week and will only be awarded points as described by their position distinction below.

[5.1 Point Totals and Final Scores] LBFFL will be hosted on ESPN.com. Head to head scoring will be determined each week by the stats from that website. From time to time, the NFL may go back and change the scoring of certain plays later in the week. ESPN.com gives the commissioner the option to make these scores retroactive. However, to maintain a sense of fairness and avoid confusion in the league, all head-to-head scoring will be according to ESPN.com. [6.0 Offseason Activities] Owners are strongly encouraged to maintain their current contact information as part of the league software. Please make sure to include your name, phone number and email address in the event that we need to reach you during the off season. You should expect to be contacted in July with information about next year's draft. Thanks and welcome to the Legion of BOOM Fantasy Football League!
