Our FFL is comprised of several franchise owners who form together one league with a number of divisions, draft a team of 13 NFL offensive players and 2 Complete Defensive Teams to play a 17 game regular season. Any one team may only have up to two franchise owners. NO owner is allowed any interest in more than one franchise per division. Commissioner, Don Dozier, is responsible for collection of fees, providing schedules, compiling weekly scores, results and standings, payment of end of season earnings, and ensuring that rules are followed by all franchises. Commissioner is NOT responsible for notifying owners of fees, charges, or incomplete line-ups. Always keep track of your own money on account. 

 The primary objective of this Franchise Football League (FFL), is to provide added enjoyment in watching the game of professional football throughout the season while following the exploits of the players on your team & your opponents. Win or lose, fair play and enjoyment should be the goal of each and every franchise owner. Any attempt to disregard or circumvent the meaning of the rules, as a means for taking unfair advantage, will not be allowed. Any owner(s) who elects to no longer participate in the league through the course of the season will forfeit any due earnings and will be responsible for all charges and fees. The Commissioner will then look over the line-ups for “out for season or bye week” players and will change if needed, throughout the season.

These players participate in the vast majority of the scoring plays during the course of a game.  Each of the owners should come to the draft prepared, to select an adequate number of players at each position and to ensure against personnel losses due to injuries, etc.

 This option sets when team lineups lock each week. This applies to moving players between active slots and bench slots.
Team owners can make moves to their weekly rosters/lineups until the scheduled kickoff time of each player's game.
Example: Your 2 (two) Quarterbacks are P. Manning (Denver) and P. Rivers (San Diego) Denver vs. San Diego (plays Monday Night Football), you have until scheduled kickoff time to choose which QB to start in your lineup. If Denver is playing on Thursday and San Diego is playing Sunday, you have until scheduled kickoff time for Denver (Thursday) to set your lineup. Same for each position.

If any scoring errors are discovered, the Commissioner will review it and a final decision will be made. All owners must notify the Commissioner via e-mail, phone or in-person of any scoring errors in points and/or standings by Tuesday, 5:00 pm to have them corrected. Any errors found after, may not be changed unless otherwise ruled by the Commissioner. Any disputes at the end of season must be initiated by Tuesday, 5:00 pm after the last season game.  Weekly Updates by ESPN, can change up-to Saturday.  

 Owners have the option of waiving one or more players from their roster and replacing them with another eligible player, throughout the entire season. The cost is $5.00 each. Money must be on account before any pick-up, or a $10.00 fine will be assessed. When a player is dropped, he will be put on the available list. This player will not be able to play the same week that he is dropped. If there is more than one owner, that would like to pick-up, said player. There will be a raffle, Monday @ 6:00 pm.  Notify Commissioner prior to Monday 5:00 pm of request.  Owner that Wins this player pays the $5.00 and all others will pay $2.50 ea.
