Team Roster
Each team must have a roster consisting of the following
position player the entire season:
2 – QB
2 – RB
2 – WR
2 – TE
2–K
1 – OPEN
Failure to keep the roster at 11 players at anytime during the
season will result in the lowering of team points.
DRAFT DAY
• Wednesday August 29th
• We will have 11 Rounds
• Each team will have 4-minutes to select their player
• Failure to select a player within the allotted time will result
in skipping to the next team in the draft
If your team is not present on Draft Day they will pick
players from the “Free Agent Pool”
SALARY CAP
Each team is allotted a salary cap in the amount of
$250.00 to be used on their roster.
Teams maybe under the salary cap but at no time
during the season should a team be over the salary
cap.
Failure to stay within the set salary cap will results
in reduction of your teams points.
