GENERAL GAMEPLAY RULES

- NO NANO-BLITZES. This is where a defensive play is changed/manipulated and players are placed into gaps, manually, to take advantage of the AI.
- Don’t abuse the same handful of plays on offense
- If up big on the CPU, conservative clock management should be used
- Gameplay strategies are NOT allowed, less clock management. This is because the slider sets are tuned with everything on balanced
- Run commit is NOT allowed
- 1 restart allowed per season, and I should be notified of reason why along with a short video if possible
- 4th downs should be handled as you would see teams handle them on Saturdays
- Ensure your recruiting assistance is OFF, so that over-signing is not an ‘accident’

RECRUITING RULES/RESTRICTIONS

Formula used to determine how many prospects you may sign:
The number of seniors you have, plus the number of total players on your roster away from 70 (i.e. 68 = 2), plus the team’s prestige bonus (6* = 0, 5* = 2, 4* = 4, 3* = 6) to get the number of recruits you may sign.

EXAMPLE:
TEAM A has 15 seniors, 69 players, and is a 4* program. So the formula is as follows:
15 + 1 + 4 = 20

----------------------------------------------------------------

PLAYERS LEAVING EARLY/TRANSFERS

For each player that leaves early or transfers, you may add a prospect to your signing class.

So, in above example, Team A is allowed 20 prospects, if said team has 3 players leave for NFL, they are given an additional 3 prospects in off-season recruiting.

If above team signed 23, when only allotted 20, and 3 leave early, they are not allowed to sign any in off-season, but also are not penalized.

RECRUITING PENALTIES
-For each prospect that is signed over a team’s limit, it will cost the team 3 scholarships per year, for the next 2 seasons.
(Example: Team A is allotted 20 scholarships, they sign 22 players. They will be deducted 6 scholarships each season, for the following 2 seasons.)

If said team over-signs while on probation, they will be removed from the league.
