******LUNNYB T4 M24 LEAGUE 48HR ADVANCE LEAGUE******
This is a 48HR advance league but due to the activity games can be advanced anywhere between 24-48HRS!
*If there are 3 or less user games left after the first 24hrs of advance, the advance goes from 48hrs to 36hrs-VERY IMPORTANT*!
-ACCEPTABLE POSITION CHANGES
OL to OL ***OL are interchangeable***
DL to DL ***weight requirement to switch from DE to DT player must be 285 or above***
LB to LB ***LB are interchangeable***
LB to DE and vice versa due to the current NFL where LB's play DE and vice versa
CB to Safety if 30yrs or older ***Can't have over 85 man/zone coverage and can't exceed 90 speed*** ****MUST GET APPROVAL FROM COMMISHES BEFORE MAKING MOVE****
-UNACCEPTABLE POSITION CHANGES
CB to LB unless they play that position IRL ***must consult with commissioner first***
WR to TE ***never allowed***
RB to FB ***never allowed***
DEPTH CHART: In past maddens you couldn't play a LB at RRE or RLE positions in the depth chart but due to players like TJ Watt and Micah Parson that do rush the passer, you are allowed to substitute a LB at those positions to keep them on the field at all times. Otherwise, the other positions in the depth chart must have the right players at those positions!
STREAMING IS REQUIRED (NO IF, ANDS OR BUTS PERIOD!
VERY IMPORTANT ***BOTH PARTIES MUST HAVE STREAMS POSTED IN CHAT BEFORE THE GAME KICKS OFF...FAILURE TO POST STREAMS BEFORE START OF THE GAME WIL RESULT IN PENALTIES.
Method of streaming your choice: Twitch or You tube
If you are streaming and you are lagging and would like to drop stream, pause the game, notify commish you would like to drop stream, get the ok, let opponent know you're dropping stream, make sure they are streaming and continue. Failure to follow these directions will lead to disciplinary actions! We take streaming serious and we notice that usually if you don't want to stream you have something to hide.
SCHEDULING GAMES
BOTH users are required to reach out to schedule games.
ALL games must be scheduled via DM
Once you reach out your opponent has 8 hours to respond, if no response in 8 hours they are now on your time and if game doesn't get played, the user that reached out will get FW with DM proof.
If you DM your opponent and they leave you on READ, you are not required to DM them again, if they don't respond, you will get FW. If you can read the message you can respond, that's really disrespectful if you ask me!
PLAYCALLING
Offense 60/40 Pass/Run or Vice Versa (You ain't gonna just drop back and pass all game)
Defense 60/40 Man/Zone or Vice Versa ( You can't run 3 straight zone plays at no time of the game)
You CANNOT sit in pistol or shotgun most or all game
You CANNOT run back to back plays
You CANNOT run back to back inside zone/out of pistol run plays back to back inside the 5 yard line
You CANNOT run plays out the same 2 or 3 formations all game, you MUST switch things up, who wants to play 1 or 2 play trick ponies
You must spend the same amount of time under center, meaning once again, you ain't just sitting in pistol or shotgun all game.
PLAYACTION is not allowed on 3rd and over 7 yards.
PLAYACTION can be called ONCE every 1st DOWN and never back to back.
HURRY UP is allowed but you CANNOT hurry up and run same play.
HURRY UP is allowed going forward if down by 17 or more at any point of the game.
HURRY UP is only allowed outside of trailing big going forward ONLY in the last 4 minutes of each half.
HURRY UP CANNOT be ran if winning by double digits, what's the reason beside trying to embarass your opponent.
PLAYBOOKS
Every user has to have at least 6 different formations in their playbooks. This league is about switching up play calling not running the same formations or same plays all game!
FLIPPING AND MOTIONING
When it comes to flipping plays, please refer to the video I posted in the group. KEEP that shit out of here. You cannot continuously flip plays going forward period, flipping every now and then, cool, but the continuous play flipping to get some type of mismatch I've shown you was cheese and it's not allowed. If you constantly flip your plays, I suggest going in the lab and practicing some new shit cause that is NO LONGER ALLOWED!
When it comes to motioning players, it's cool to motion every once and awhile to gain mismatches, but constantly motioning your guys is cheesy and it's not ALLOWED going forward. I understand trying to take advantage of your speed, but every play, every other play is cheesy shit, NO LONGER ALLOWED!
MOVING PLAYERS PRESNAP
You CANNOT move multiple players on defense around prior to snapping the ball. You CAN switch individual defensive assignments but you can't move from player to player moving them pre snap NOT ALLOWED.
If you user a D-Lineman, you must rush QB, no dropping back in pass coverage
If you user a CB or LB, you CAN roam the field with that player, but you can't move that player pre-snap and then user another player. The player you user on defense is the player you stick with.
As far as zone switching and all of that, like I mentioned, you can change a players individual assignment but you can't move him yourself and then user another player.
I've been in a lot of leagues where they don't care, you can move multiple players, please differentiate your leagues because its not allowed in here.
QB ROLLOUT and DROPBACKS
You CANNOT drop-back and just rollout unless it's a designed rollout play meaning the play calls for the QB to rollout
You CANNOT rollout without pressure if the play doesn't call for QB to rollout
SIDELINE to SIDELINE is not allowed, no-one should be dropping back running straight to the sidelines.
You CANNOT drop-back more than 7yrds, anything over 7yrds is excessive, please be cognizant of that.
CPU RULES
You get 3 attempts versus CPU. If game is NOT completed after the 3rd attempt, it will be FAIR SIMMED!
If you attempt more than 3 times and don't complete game you will get FORCE LOSS. You get 3 attempts ONLY!
If you attempt more than 3 times and beat CPU you will get a 1 game suspension next game. ONCE again, you get 3 attempts only!
There are no rules against CPU except for spamming(ask if you don't know what this is) or super-simming! Not allowed
You must post stream against CPU just like you would against a user!
The 35pt rule applies to CPU as well. I know dudes know how to manipulate CPU and that's all good, but we ain't stat padding but this hasn't been an issue of late!

If the game is tied and you are on your 35 yard line or past 2 minutes or less it is the coaches discretion to go for it.
RULES OF RESPECT
The BLOWOUT rule is 35pts, at any point you're up 35, YOU MUST get the game over (punting, chewing clock, kneeling, etc) you must not score again unless your opponent scores.
If you are up double digits with less than 2 minutes in the game, you must kneel and get game over, at this point game is over and whether your opponent is calling timeouts or not, get the game over but DO NOT score!
PLEASE respect your opponents especially the opponents in your division you play twice a season, trying to embarass or shame an opponent isn't cool and that won't be allowed.
PLEASE respect each other in the group, we are all men with families, careers, businesses, etc, act like it!
CHEW CLOCK RULES are if you are up big please pause the game and ask your opponent if it's ok to chew clock please DO NOT just chew without asking unless it's under 2 minutes and your opponent has no timeouts or aren't calling timeouts!

You can ONLY trade XFACTOR players for another XFACTOR player, only exception is if they are 30yrs of age or older and QB being the exception! XFACTOR Quarterbacks are viewed differently and each trade will be looked at accordingly!

Trades must receive 3 yes votes before they receive 3 no votes to pass.
THERE IS NO TRADING WITH CPU! This is grounds for AUTOBOOT!
GOTW
Game of the week was started a couple of years ago to bring excitement to the league and the excitement of viewing and betting on games. If you are picked as a GOTW participant, this is how the rules go. Failure to follow these rules will result in you not being picked again. This is something I made up, so it's not optional its a requirement, but like anything there are rules!
