Premise:
Pick an available team on Xbox One,
Fantasy Draft, no trade deadline
Competitive Gameplay focused on Sportsmanship

AFC and NFC will always be balanced with coaches
Divisions will try to have at least two human-controlled teams if able
Commissioners can have Divisions to themselves because not only are you fighting for the Superbowl

You Are Fighting For Your CONFERENCE

Your Conference is your SQUAD, With the Commissioner in your Conference being your Squad Leader
Prizes Increase for Playoff Victories, but also
Everyone On Superbowl Winning Team's Squad Gets A Prize

(Clearing of Salary Cap Penalties, Relocation, Draft Trades with computers, details as we go along)

Fight Hard, Fight Well, Fight for Yourself, Fight for your squad

I went around some leagues and collected some rules that keep s#!% in line, in and out of games:

An excerpt from another League about Simming:
I've studied football for many years. I coach. I have the highest level of accreditation attainable in interscholastic football. I understand what real football is. I've seen rules in SIM leagues where Chip Kelly, Mike McCarthy and Bill Belichick would be kicked out after their first game. There are no clearly defined "SIM" situations, I feel, would apply to every single "real" coach. And because of that, to be clear, outside of cheating and our 4th down rule, we let our members control their own style. It is 100% up to their opponent to stop them no matter what they're doing, even if it's the same play over and over. If you don't want them to keep running it, stop them--like a real coach would be forced to do.

Da Rules & Giudelines:

Out of Game
All Madden Difficulty during Season
Salary Cap ON
5 Minute Quarters
Custom Playbooks Allowed
Injuries OFF during OFFSEASON, turned back on for Week One
Preseason is Simmed
Games that cannot be played will be Simmed - people have lives, and we understand that. As long as there is adequate communication, and reasonable excuse. "Overslept," for example, will win no sympathies. If your GamerTag is active, it can indicate possibility to play. Let's work together on that. Communication is key, and home team is expected to reach out to find a time. Options will be available, including SmartGlass and GroupMe chat services. Blatant lack of communication or bad reasons can result in a forfeit.

No Computer Trades - Very Few Exceptions, all must clear through Squad Leaders:
Awarded as Prize
Can be forced as a penalty
Injury Replacements
Low coach depth

In Game
The game is between you and your opponent's styles. No whining because of how your opponent plays. Learn to play, learn to adjust. Win or lose, do so with dignity, humility, class and grace, and move on. Custom Playbooks allowed; don't call Shenanagans on "nano-blitzing" or "toss cheese." If they have one play, learn to stop that one play. It's a game played by men, so Man Up. (Or, Woman Up for our female clientele)

4th Down:
First Quarter - ALWAYS Punt / Field Goal
Second Quarter - 4th & 3rd or less, can go for it rest of game
Third Quarter - If down by two scores, can go for it
Fourth Quarter - If losing, can go for it

Onside Kick Guideline:
ANNOUNCE INTENT FOR ONSIDE
From the get, you can Onside. If able, tell your opponent (both mic'd)
If Unable To Communicate Intent, you must allow six seconds to pass from when you are able to kick before you ACTUALLY kick. This gives your opponent time to hit X, LB and Audible. What we will look for in any video evidence is there is time to recognize and react. This is here so the Receiving Team cannot say they did not know to look for OSK, or when, or how to Audible. Both are covered here.

Chew Clock Guideline:
Running up the score is frowned upon and clips/streams can be reviewed by Squad Leaders. When up by enough, early enough, start chewing clock. If you are streaming, or show to still be in the chatpod, we may reach out to you if it is felt that it is time.

http://daddyleagues.com/Squads is up & running - plenty of teams available!

Fantasy Draft starting this coming Sunday regardless of number of players available. We will reroll when enough people have enlisted, so this can be considered a Beta run. Already, there have been some changes in an effort to make this league more interactive and fair. Check out the League Forums for various topic details, and feel free to comment and suggest even if you won't be joining. I intend to get this idea rolling, and have a great concept up and running by the next edition of Madden.
