1

Game-Time Waivers
None
Sunday to Tuesday
X

Currently, there are no weekly waiver locks, so during any point of the week, including during games, a player can be picked up. This rule would lock rosters from adding players starting with the Sunday at 1pm games and would be locked until Tuesday with waiver priorities in effect.

*Update: Changed from Weekly Waivers to Game-Time Waivers. Each free agent will be placed on waivers as soon as their game begins each week.

2
Stat Categories (Ret. Yds for Indv. Players)
25 Yds. per Point
Eliminate

This would eliminate individual players from obtaining extra points for return yards. This rule change does not affect defenses from gaining points for return yards.
3
Defensive Points (Points Allowed)
0 Points = 20 pts
1-6 points = 15 pts
7-13 points = 11 pts
14-20 points = 7 pts
21-27 points = 3 pts
28-34 points = 0 pts
35+ points = -3 pts
0 Points = 10 pts
1-6 points = 8 pts
7-13 points = 6 pts
14-20 points = 4 pts
21-27 points = 2 pts
28-34 points = 0 pts
35+ points = -2 pts
X
This would lower the amount of impact that defensive points would have on a team. Currently, defense points have a larger than average impact on the performance of a fantasy team.
4
Defensive Points (Sacks)
1 sack = 2 pts
1 sack = 1 pt

Sacks occur more frequently than most other defensive plays. Currently, defense points have a larger than average impact on the performance of a fantasy team.
5
Stat Categories
(QB Points)
50 Yds per Point
6 pts per TD
35 Yds per Point
4 pts per TD

Currently, QB points are TD heavy and not enough points are given to those QB's that have decent numbers in passing yards.

X
With currently three flex players, a person can start 4 RBs, which could pose an unfair advantage to those that load up on RBs. This setting forces at least 2 WRs, while still allowing for a flex position for a maximum of 3 RBs.
7
Playoff Reseeding
No
Yes

Playoff reseeding will adjust the second round matchups so the highest seeded team will play the lowest ranked team. Playoff reseeding will occur when there is an upset in the first round of the playoffs.
8
Playoff System
Eight Team Playoffs
Six Team Playoff w/ Four or fewer Consolation

Reference Yahoo!'s Fantasy Football Playoffs for details. This gives credit to top two teams so they are rewarded and may not be eliminated in the first week of playoffs (similar to the current NFL rules). Also requires you to finish in the Top 6 in order to have a shot at the championship. This would also give the top ten a shot at participating in the playoffs.
9

150 yds = 1 pt
200 yds = 2 pts
250 yds = 3 pts
100 yds = 2 pts
