RULES
How it's done
We run a program that simulates a full length football game. The winner is decided based off multiple parameters. Everything from the stats of your individual players to your offense/defense strategy to random occurrences (like fumbles or penalties) can change the tide of a game.
How a season runs
Each season will be 8 weeks long, 2 games every week (16 games.) Play-offs will be be the top four teams from each of the two (East and West) divisions.
Each week games will be played and sent to each GM as a zip file. Once unzipped you'll have a complete up-to-date...
Full SFL roster with ratings
Records
box scores of the weeks games
League leaders
All in basic black and white html so it'll be as small a file as possible. .
Season order
1. Players will retire.
2. SFL Rookie Draft.
3. Regular Season games.
4. Play-Off games.
5. Chilibowl
Trades
The trade deadline is week 8, to initiate a trade post a message on the trade board. If the trade is accepted the other team GM must respond to that post. Trades can be set up in PRIVATE MESSAGES but still must be posted on the trade board as described above. Any trades after SATURDAY will not take effect till the upcoming games have been played. Sim Football staff reserve the right to refuse a trade.
Free Agents
You'll see a listing for "Free agents" posted as an at the top of most boards. Find what you want then follow the instructions in the free agent board. Post a message on this board with the player and position you wish to "offer a deal." Please make the subject the name/position. If somebody else wishes to offer a deal to the same FA they respond to your thread with a "counter offer." When Saturday rolls around the FA signs, if there are no counter offers you automatically get the FA. If there are counter offers SFL staff will use lottery style picking system to decided where the FA goes. You can only sign 1 FA a week, but can make as many offers as you like. The earliest offers are decided first. If you offer 3 free agents a spot on your roster and win the first one all other offers are removed.
Basic Rules
1. No real teams!
2. You can only GM ONE team!
3. No "hate speak" towards any other members of the SFL of any types on the Sim Football board.
