  8. Leagues. Each entry will be placed into a 12-team league. Each league is generally determined in a random manner. Without exception, the same rules and free agent bid deadlines and restrictions bind all teams in a given league.
    • League Assignments. Prior to The Draft, all All-Star Entry, Basic Package and Alternative Entry Package teams will be placed in a standard 12-team league. All High Stakes entries will be placed in a separate High Stakes league. Head2Head Sports reserves the right to mix High Stakes and All-Star teams to complete a full, 12-team league. In the case of such a mixed league, the league prizes will be awarded to teams based on the respective optional service package fee detailed in the Prizes section below and will not be pro-rated.
    • Buddy Leagues. You may form your own league or play with friends by sending up to twelve (12) entries in the same envelope for mailed entries, or by joining a private Internet Buddy Pool group with up to 12 teams for Internet entries. If less than 12 entries are submitted, the league will be filled with other entries. Entries that are not received in the same envelope or are not entered in the same private group or buddy league on the Internet, may request placement in the same league, but are not guaranteed to be placed in the same league. Buddy leagues/pool registration requests must be submitted at least four (4) hours prior the registration deadline outlined above.
    • Draft Order. Head2Head Sports will run a random number generator approximately sixty (60) minutes prior to the scheduled draft time to randomly assign the league's draft order. Trading of the draft order is not allowed. Each team will play all other teams in their league once over the first 11 weeks of the NFL season.
    • League Draft. All league drafts will be held online beginning Friday, August 25, 2023 and ending on Saturday, September 9, 2023. Each league will consist of 12 teams, and each draft will last for 16 rounds, with each team selecting a player in each round in a serpentine fashion (team 1 through team 12, team 12 through team 1, team 1 through team 12 etc.). Teams will be seated in a pre-determined random draft order. During the draft, each team will have a maximum of 1 minute (60 seconds) to make their selection. Each team will be alerted of their remaining time at 45 seconds. If a team does not make a pick in the allotted time, the team has chosen to have their roster auto-drafted, or the team is a Basic Package or Alternative Entry Package entry that disallows live drafting, a pick will be automatically selected by the system based on the owner's pre-draft player rankings. Each team must draft the minimum number of players to fill a starting lineup.
    • Multiple Teams. To keep the leagues as competitive as possible, owners will not be permitted to request to have multiple teams placed in the same league, with the exception for live, in-person draft leagues. Depending on league availability at the time of entry, it may not be possible to place all owner teams in separate leagues.
  9. Rosters.
    • Roster Limits. Each team may have a maximum of 16 players. Each team must have 9 players in their starting lineup and 7 players on their bench. There are no position requirements for Bench players.

      • 2 Running Backs (RB)
      • 2 Wide Receivers (WR)
      • 1 Tight End (TE)

      • 1 Team Defense/Special team (D/ST)
      • 1 Flex player (Any position - QB, RB, WR, TE, PK, D/ST)
      The defense/special team counts as one (1) player.
    • Positions. Player position eligibility and designation is determined by H2H during the pre-season and may be changed any time by H2H before the start of the pro football season. The Draft - Championship Fantasy Football participants agree to accept these designations and understand the final position designations may be different than a player's on-field position after the start of the pro football season.
    • Flex Position. You may select a player only for the position designated for him by Head2Head Sports or use him in the flex position. This includes the option of selecting a Defense/Special Teams for the flex position.
    • Team Changes. If a pro football player is traded from one pro football team to another, you will continue to receive points for that player as long as that player remains on your active roster.
    • Unlisted Players. Unlisted players may be added to the free agent pool at any time prior to the season start or during the season based upon participant request and Commissioner approval. It is the participant's responsibility to review the website for the most recent player list.
  10. Free Agents. Any player who is not on a team roster within your league is considered a free agent for that league. Teams may only acquire players not on any roster within their league.
    • Free Agent Acquisitions. The free agent system will be a "blind bidding" process. Each team will start the season with an actual US $150.00 free agent maximum budget (High Stakes teams will start with a $250.00 maximum budget), and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis. No team will be informed of any other team's free agent bids. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be (1) charged to the credit card provided by the winning team's owner and (2) deducted from the team's free agent budget. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. All bids must be a minimum of $5.00, in increments of dollars (no cents), and include the player name being dropped. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's remaining free agent budget.
    • Pre-season Free Agent Bidding begins at Noon ET/9:00 am PT on Friday, September 1, 2023 and must be completed by 6:00 pm ET/3:00 pm PT on Thursday, September 7, 2023 for NFL Week 1. Second chance pre-season bidding will open at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT on Thursday and must be completed by 8:00 am ET/5:00 am PT on Sunday, September 10, 2023.
    • Regular Season Free Agent Bidding. Weekly bidding will be accepted during two (2) periods each week on the league website beginning Tuesdays at Noon ET/9:00 am PT and must be completed by Thursday at 6:00 pm ET/3:00 pm PT for the first round of bidding. Second chance bidding will open at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT on Thursday and must be completed by 8:00 am ET/5:00 am PT on Sundays. All dates are subject to change.
    • Thanksgiving Free Agent Bidding. For Week 12, opening round bids must be completed by Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 23, 2023 at 8:00 am ET/5:00 am PT. Second chance bidding will open Thursday at at Noon ET/9:00 am PT and must be completed by Sunday, November 26, 2023 at 8:00 am ET/5:00 am PT.
    • The Draft Playoffs. The Final Free Agent bidding period ends on Sunday, December 3, 2023 for NFL Week 13. At the end of Week 13, all remaining free agents become locked and are unavailable for selection throughout The Draft Playoffs (NFL Weeks 14-17). No free agent bidding will be accepted during The Draft Playoffs.
    • Free Agent Budget. Each team will start the Contest with an actual US $150.00 free agent maximum budget. High Stakes teams will start with a US $250.000 free agent maximum budget. No team may exceed the maximum free agent budget assigned to them at anytime during the season. If a team's remaining free agent budget goes below $5.00, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the remainder of the Contest.
    • Payment. Successful free agent bids will be charged to the credit card on your account. If you don't have a valid credit card on account, then you must prepay for your bids prior to making bids by sending payment to: The Draft - Championship Fantasy Football, c/o Head2Head Sports, 4727 E. Bell Rd., Suite 45-328, Phoenix, AZ 85032. Lack of prepayment or a declined credit card will nullify your free agent bid(s).
    • Conditional Bids. Conditional bids can also be offered with your primary bid. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. The first conditional bid will become relevant only if you lose out on the first (primary) bid. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Primary bids do not require conditional bids. Primary bids may have several sequential conditional bids. Bids will be prioritized in chronological order.
    • Number of Bid Limits. There is no limit to the number of bids each week in which bids are permitted, provided that each team remains under their free agent budget once those bids are processed.
    • Tied Bids. If two or more teams bid the same amount for an available free agent, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by:
      1. Lowest season-to-date total points
      2. Worst winning percentage
      3. Reverse draft order (Week 1 only)
      4. Bid received earliest in the Week
    • Waivers. To provide equal opportunity for all owners to add players to their roster, a waivers process is used. Anytime a player is dropped from a roster after a successful Free Agent Bid, that player is automatically locked and becomes unavailable for free agent bids until free agent bidding opens for the following week of play. Players that are dropped during Week 13 will be locked and unavailable throughout The Draft Playoffs.
    • Restricted Players. A list of players will be designated as "restricted", meaning that these players are too valuable to be picked up as a free agent. A player on the restricted list may be dropped from a roster, but cannot be picked up as a free agent. Players may be added and removed from this list by The Commissioner's Office as needed throughout the season.
    • Locked Players. Once a free agent begins play for the week (ex: Thursday night games), that player is locked and is no longer available for bids until free agent bidding opens for the following period of play. In the event that there are outstanding bids for locked players, those bids will be automatically voided once the free agent bid period ends.
    • Trading. To minimize the possibility of collusion, trading of players and/or draft picks is not allowed.
    • Voided Bids. Head2Head Sports reserves the right to void any and all free agent bids without notice or refund. Your bids may be voided if you attempt to drop players not on your roster, bid on locked or restricted players, attempt to bid on player(s) resulting in an invalid lineup, exceed your free agent budget, or you exclude your Member ID# or Player ID#'s. If your free agent bids are voided, your roster will revert to the lineup of the previous H2H Period. Look on your weekly reports or email notifications for confirmation of your free agent bids.
    • All dates and times are subject to change.
  11. The Draft Period. A Draft Period begins every Tuesday and runs through the immediately following Monday for the first seventeen (17) weeks of the NFL season.
    • Regular Season. The regular season will run from the first pro football game played in NFL Week 1 through to the last game played in NFL Week 11. Each week you will be matched against a different team in your league. If your team's H2H point total for that period is greater than your opponent's, then your team posts a win for that period. Your team posts a loss if your opponent records more H2H points.
    • League Championship. The Draft League Championship Games will be played during NFL Weeks 12 & 13.
    • Draft Playoffs. The Draft Playoffs will begin with NFL Week 14 and finish at the conclusion of NFL Week 17.
    • Games played in NFL Week 18 and afterwards do not count. All dates are subject to change. Statistics for games that are postponed will be counted in the weeks when the games are actually played.
  12. Lineup Submission. Lineups may be submitted until the start of the final pro football game of the period, typically 8:15 PM ET (5:15 PM PT) on Mondays. Note the exception below for early games. If you do not submit a lineup prior to the deadline in a given week, your starting lineup remains the same as the previous week.
    • Opening Weekend. For the NFL Week 1 game played on Thursday, September 7th, 2023, players in that game must be submitted into lineups prior to 8:20 PM ET (5:20 PM PT). If no Week 1 lineup is submitted by the NFL start time for the game, or your draft does not complete before the start of the game, the order of your drafted players will determine your Week 1 starting lineup.
    • Thursday Games/Flexible Trading. The NFL has scheduled games to be played prior to the lineup deadline - ex: Thanksgiving, Thursday night games, International games, and games moved earlier because of weather, etc. In these situations, those players must be submitted into lineups prior to the designated NFL start/kick-off time. Any players from those teams playing at the designated start time will be locked for that period, and you will be unable to move those players on your roster. For the remainder of the period, locked players cannot be moved, dropped or picked up and you will be limited to choose from teams that have not yet played prior to the designated final lineup deadline.
    • Confirmation. To ensure you have the correct roster in place, confirm your new roster when you have completed your lineup submission. If you exit the website or phone call with a Sports Agent without confirming your roster with a confirmation number, your last confirmed roster will be the roster that is scored. It is each team owner's responsibility to receive a valid confirmation number and record it for verification purposes.
    • Illegal Lineups. If a team does not contain the correct number of position players, contains duplicated players or otherwise has provided an illegal lineup, that team will be disqualified for the scoring period and will score zero (0) points. Illegal lineups that are corrected before the lineup submission deadline for the period will be restored to eligible status and again be eligible to earn H2H points.
    • All dates and times are subject to change.
  13. Scoring. Each team will be ranked within its league by wins and total points. Each team's total points will be calculated by applying the official The Draft - Championship Fantasy Football scoring system. All points will be rounded to the nearest tenth.
    • Offensive Points. All touchdown passes, runs, receptions, and returns receive 6 points, every 25 yards passing will receive 1 point (5 yds = 0.2 points), every 10 yards rushing will receive 1 point (1 yd = 0.1 point), every 10 yards receiving will receive 1 point (1 yd = 0.1 point), every reception will receive 1 point, every field goal will be worth 3 points, every field goal from 50 yards and over will receive an additional 3 points, all two-point conversion runs, passes and receptions will earn 2 points (Yards and the point for a reception do not apply to 2PT conversions), and every extra point kick will receive 1 point. All interceptions thrown will receive (-2) points and all fumbles lost to the opposing team will receive (-2) points. Return yards and two-point conversion yards do not count. All individual touchdowns will count, including punt and kickoff returns.
    • Defense/Special Teams. All defensive touchdowns (including kickoff, punt, fumble and interception returns) will receive 6 points. All safeties will receive 6 points, a fumble recovery or an interception will earn 4 points, and a sack will receive 2 points.

Points allowed include ALL points scored by the opposing team.
    • Turnovers. In the event of a team turnover of any kind, the scoring credit for the turnover will only count for the original change in possession - any subsequent possession changes during that play are not counted.
    • Head-to-Head Matchup. Each period you will be matchued against a different team in your league. Only players in each week's starting lineup will accumulate points, which are added together for a weekly score. Statistics of bench players do NOT earn points. If your team's point total for a given week is greater than your opponent's, then your team posts a win for that week. Your team posts a loss if your opponent records more total points in that given week.
    • Tiebreaker. In the event your team's H2H point total equals that of your opponent, the team with the higher cumulative points will post a win for the week. If a tie still exists (e.g. week 1), the winner will be determined by the team with the most quarterback points for that week. If a tie still exists, the team with the most running back, wide receiver, tight end, kicker and defense/special team points, in that order, will determine the winner. If a tie is still not broken after applying the preceding tiebreakers, then the winner will be determined randomly by the Commissioner's computer. These tiebreakers apply to individual matchups.
    • Schedule Changes. Scoring is based only on the games actually played each week. H2H takes no responsibility for any pro football games that are delayed or postponed (i.e. player strikes, lockout, weather, riots). If, for any reason, a player's game is postponed (due to weather, etc.) you will only receive points for that game if you have the player on your active roster during the period the game is officially completed.
    • Live Scoring. To the extent that this contest offers or displays live scoring, standings, results, statistics, or other information relating to the contest ("Live Information"), all such Live Information is unofficial and is offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only.
  14. League Championship.
    • League Championship Game. Weeks 12 & 13 of the NFL season will determine each League Champion by means of a two (2) week League Championship Game. The two (2) participants in the League Championship game will be (1) the team with the best win-loss record vs. (2) the remaining team with the highest cumulative point total. Each of the League Champions, League Runners-up plus Wildcards teams will advance to The Draft Playoffs.
    • Weeks 12 & 13 Play. Although the League Championship Game matches just two (2) of twelve teams per league, it is very important that all teams submit their strongest possible lineup for Weeks 12 & 13. Playoff and Consolation Playoff eligibility and formats are based on teams' point totals through Week 13. See below for more details. Week 13 is also the final week to pick up free agents; no free agents may be selected during The Draft Playoffs.
