Active Roster:

The roster limit will be 16 players maximum.  There will be no position requirement for rosters. You must field a complete starting lineup year round.



Slow Draft:

The draft is 16 rounds and are serpentine drafts (snake). Your team roster is updated as you make the selections online! The draft timer will be set at 12 hours per selection. If the draft happens to run past seven days, the timer sets changes to 6 hours per selection and trading is closed. This type of draft will normally take 6 to 10 days to complete. The league software has a pre-draft function. When your league is full and becomes active, you will be able to view your league website for more information regarding draft operations. The draft Order for all drafts will be Random.



Regular Season Free Agency:

The worst to first waiver order is set from worst record (overall winning percentage) to best record (ties are broken by total points for, then points against). If your team roster is full, if you wish to acquire a player, then you must also drop a player. Each week the worst to first function is in a 2 round non-serpentine format. Teams can pick up 1 player per round (for a maximum total of 2 players). The lowest team picks first in both rounds, and the best team picks last. Worst to First Waivers are an active function from Weeks 1-13 (starting after week 1 through to after week 13), and requests must be submitted no later than 10:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday evening. Players dropped will not be available until the next Worst to First waivers.



Trades:

Trading is allowed until the kickoff of week #11. Exact dates to be determined each year.
All trades must be approved by the commissioner.

Season Schedule & Playoffs:

Regular Season:
The regular season schedule will run from week 1 to week 13 of the NFL season, featuring head to head competition.  Teams will face division opponents twice during the regular season and all non-division teams once.  There will be 1 double header played in a non bye week.



Playoffs:
6 teams will make the playoffs with the team with the two best overall records receiving a bye (Top 4 division winners and then the top 2 wild card teams. Brackets are grouped after each round with the highest seed (e.g. #1) always facing the lowest remaining seed.



Tiebreakers:
Tiebreakers for division standings, division winners and playoff seeds are as follows:



    1. Best winning percentage.   
    2. *Head to head record.
    3. Best "Breakdown" record. This is the "all play" record against everyone in the league.
    4. **Division record.
    5. Most points scored in the regular season.

*In the event 3 or more teams are tied, there must be a definitive winner among them (i.e. Team A defeated both B & C).  If there is not a definitive winner, "breakdown" and then total points scored will be used to decide a tie.
** Division record can only be used among teams within the same division.

Player Position Eligibility:
We will go by the position MFL has designated each year. Any objections can be brought to the commissioner’s attention and may be put to a league vote.



Player Retirement/Death Clause:
In the event a player retires or passes away, the owner will be able to release that player with no penalties of any kind.



NFL Strike Clause:
In the event of an NFL strike or general labor stoppage, the season will be canceled and all entry fees will be refunded, excluding deposits which will be pushed to the following season (less any expenses already incurred to host the league). If over 70% of a season is lost due to a strike, player’s contracts will not decrease by one year, but there will be the standard player salary increases at year-end.



Strange Play Ruling:
This section will address odd/impossible plays that always seem to happen. It is the responsibility of owners to bring these types of plays to the attention of the commissioner in a timely manner. Plays that happened in week 3 when we are in week 5 will not be reviewed. Players WILL NOT get credit for throwing a TD pass to themselves (Brad Johnson Rule). They WILL get credit for the play as if they are a WR. So in other words, he would get the receiving yardage, TD reception (6pts) and .5 for the catch.

 

All prizes won are paid at the end of the season. Prize money is shipped via the U.S. Postal Service by January 31st of each year. Please allow up to 10 days for delivery. Any winnings can be applied to your team entry fee for the following season. Team balances are available at any time upon request.
Abandoned Teams: BeMyCommish run teams are not eligible to win any prize money. BeMyCommish run teams are not dead teams. BeMyCommish run teams function like any other team. Lineups and waivers will be submitted. You may trade with BeMyCommish run teams.



Conduct:
Conduct that is deemed detrimental to the league or to the BeMyCommish will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, posts and or emails that are harassing in nature and serve no legitimate purpose other than to cause discord within the league or the BeMyCommish organization. There is a difference between expressing viewpoints or likes/dislikes of a league or format and personal attacks toward fellow owners or the commissioner. Also, vulgarity in emails or on the message board will not be tolerated.

​

Each owner is expected to participate year-round and exhibit good sportsmanship towards one another. Tanking, collusion, throwing games, team abandonment and other conduct determined detrimental to the league and its members may bring the possibility of expulsion. Any member expelled will forfeit any fees already paid. In the event someone is removed from the league, the commissioner will do his best to find a replacement. If unable to find one during the season, weekly lineups will follow a best ball format for the un-owned team (Best ball is when the starting lineup is determined by the weekly highest scoring players per position each week, i.e. the highest scoring QB that week would be considered the starter.) Also, the Commissioner has the right to change the lineup if deemed that the intention was to throw a game with the best projected points for that week.

​

Failure to comply may result in IMMEDIATE EXPULSION WITHOUT REFUND. In addition, attempts to negatively impact the integrity of the league (i.e. threatening or outright refusal to submit lineups, partaking in bogus trades, disruption of a live draft etc.) will result in an immediate expulsion, without refund, from BeMyCommish.
