Agreement:
-By joining and taking control of an NFL franchise in this league, you are stating that you have read all our rules, agree to follow them and accept any punishment handed down for breaking them. Please don't join until you have read and understand our league rules. Also, please be sim. If you must ask what sim is or what sim means, then maybe this isn't the league for you.
Team Selection:
-Owners are still going to be allowed to pick their own teams. There are two groups; legacy and non-legacy. These have already been decided. The order will be done by random draw and this will be done live. The legacy team order will be done first and then we will pick teams. After those teams are selected, we will do the non-legacy order and pick those teams at that point. If we are not full, anyone that comes after that will have first come first serve for remaining teams.
-Trading teams is going to be allowed. However, trading teams is only going to be clean swaps across the board. There will be no exchanges of draft picks or players to swap teams.
-We are going to be going back to a Legacy point system for Madden 20. No teams are going to be able to be locked at the end of this Madden, but legacy teams are going to be selecting next Madden strictly on Legacy points or another point system, which will be decided before we start the league. This makes it very important to stack as many points as possible for next madden. It will be determined later how many seasons need to be completed for legacy status. This is usually 3 or 4 seasons. Next madden, we will discuss locking teams moving forward.

-Advances every 24 hours during preseason/offseason

Scheduling:
-Groupme will be used for scheduling purposes. You need to be in contact with your opponent early. We are all busy. There is no reason you can’t let your opponent know when you are going to be available. Most of us are on The Coli as well. You can contact in the GroupMe chat, GroupMe DM, on PSN, or on Coli. There is no reason for lack for communication.
-If your opponent doesn’t respond and its shown you have tried to play you will be allowed to get a force win or play the CPU if you choose to play. You will get 1 chance to play the CPU if you go that route, so if you have any doubts, just take the force! You need to get approval from the trinity to get the force/cpu option. The point of a league is to play your game first. Don’t try to angle your way into a force.
CPU Games:
-If you have a CPU game, you can always take a force. Injuries can be turned off.
-If you choose to play the CPU, you must stream the game, and you must post the stream in the league groupme chat. This is not up for debate. You can always take the force instead if you want. You can also supersim through parts or all of your CPU game if you choose.
Position Changes:
The following are the only allowed position changes:
-QB-QB
-HB – FB/WR
-FB – TE/HB
-TE – FB/WR
-OLINE – Any Other Oline Position
-Dline – Dline or LB
LB – LB/DE (No DT)
CB – FS/SS/CB
FS – SS/CB/FS
SS – CB/SS/FS
- A player starting at a position in the depth chart must have their position changed to reflect it. For example, no starting LTs at C, no FS starting at SS. To be clear, this isn't about outlawing common positional swaps: let OTs move inside, let a FS move to SS, etc. But if they're #1 on the depth chart, they have to BE that position.
-Position changes must be done during preseason/offseason. Once we go into Week 1 of the regular season, no position changes can be made. Any exceptions to this need to be approved by the Trinity.
Trades:
-You can not trade with the CPU under any circumstances. If you do, the trade must be reversed, and we will not be clearing any cap penalties that you suffered during that trade.
-Player to player trades are all allowed. We do not have a trade review or a trade commission. If you got finessed, that is on you. Good luck out there…
Sanctions:
-Punishment for breaking regular infractions such as 4th down rules and trading with CPU is usually going to consist of benching players for a number of weeks. Players and length will be determined by the Trinity.
-More sever infractions will result in actual suspension and being put on auto. This means your opponent can get a force on you or play your CPU. The idea is to keep the league active, so don’t do stupid shyt and we won’t have to resort to this. Infractions like these are getting you close to being replaced in the league.
Gameplay:
-No use of any nano blitzes, glitches, or known exploits in the game. If you play like a lobby player, you will find yourself in the lobbies.
-Must rush 3 defenders at all times. No faq defense. Defenders in QB spy do not count as a rusher.
4th Down Rules:
You must punt or kick field goals on 4th down unless:
-Down 17+ points
-Down 10+ points and in opponents territory
-Anytime within your opponents 2 yard line
-Losing in the 4th quarter
