As with everything in this league, the rules are up for discussion and the commish will consider changes based on a majority decision
All rule violations will be enforced and dealt with by either recruiting sanctions, sim loss, league suspension, or ban
Gameplay/General Rules:
1. With 2 conference set up, we will not use coaching carousel.
- Create Coach: Points may ONLY go to HC recruiting and Coordinators.
2. Restarts: you must have a short video (5seconds) of proof that the game froze
- no video = game simmed.
- post video on weekly thread, PM me(here or discord), or ask me for email to send.
3. User vs. User disconnects can happen. Each team should provide a photo or video and explain what happened. One replay will be allowed. After that it will be determined on how to proceed.
4. Do not abuse “money plays” or CPU AI. These include:
-Nano blitzing
-Constantly throwing curl/come back routes
-QB scrambling is allowed if pressured or you have gone through all reads. What is not allowed is calling a pass and immediately sprinting out to the sideline to throw or run
- when calling a roll out pass do not Sprint your QB to the sidelines. Let the animation do what it's designed to
-QB drop backs should be of 3, 5, and 7 steps. QB’s are not allowed to drop back 10 yards just to throw a pass
- You may only control ONE player on defense pre-snap(you may switch during play to make a tackle
- When on defense: Moving a user controlled or CPU controlled player out of the intended formation Pre-snap is not allowed. Example:. Usering a safety and bringing them up to the line or rifht behind the LBs to throw off AI
5. When up by 28 going in the 4th quarter users should run clock and put in backups. Stat boosting will not be allowed ***Applies to User vs. CPU games only***
- Does not apply to kickers as most of us only have 1 on the roster. Be smart about this though
6. Any issues with another user should be brought to the attention of the commissioner first. Describe the issue at hand in detail and it will be dealt with accordingly. If this process is not followed there will be sanctions or bans placed on the user
7. 4th down attempts should not be attempted unless
-User is losing in the 4th quarter
-User is out of FG range and too close to punt(please use your better judgment)
-inside the 5 yd line
-4th and short when leading with less than 3 minutes left: User may attempt to go for it to run the clock out
8. User catch, be it on offense or defense is NOT allowed
9. No huddle offense is allowed. Do not go no huddle when the play goes out of bounds or you are stopped for no yardage/loss of yards. Use it realistically
10. Run commit is allowed
11. Play calling should be realistic. Do not call the same play over and over. I will not restrict # of runs vs. # of passes. There are too many variables to control that and we all play a different style
12. Simming is strictly prohibited
13. If you miss your scheduled game time with another user without notifying, the user will be allowed to play the CPU
Off-Season
- Underclassmen Declaring - you may not make a pitch to an underclassmen declaring projected in the 1st or 2nd round
- Off Season advances will take place every 24 hours
Recruiting Rules
1. Athletes can not be recruited as QBs
2. You may only recruit players that list your school in top 10 and pipeline players
3. All recruiting assistance should be turned OFF
League Participation
I understand we all have lives(or at least most of us do), so I am not going to get crazy with this, but I do want to make sure this league is active and users are somewhat involved. It makes it a lot more fun when everyone communicates and participates with each other. It shouldn't be too much to post a short recap of your weekly games or recruiting updates, or reach out in a timely manner to another user you are playing that week.
I also expect the users in this league to use this forum. This is and OS league and all communication or updates should be through the forum. If a user becomes inactive or doesn't communicate well with others regarding scheduling then there may be actions taken.
