New Advance Schedule

Now that we have switched to a "24 hour" advance format, please find listed below the details of advance times, advance days, auto pilot times, and terms of playing auto pilot CPU games.

ADVANCE SCHEDULE

Monday - 9pm EST
Tuesday - 9pm EST
Wednesday - 9pm EST
Thursday - 9pm EST
Saturday - 9pm EST

This schedule has three 24 hours advances, and two 48 hours advances, totaling five games a week.  This will allow us to get through a full season monthly.  We decided on this advance schedule for multiple reasons; move franchise along quicker, allow for more time to play games night of advance, flexibilty of 48 hour advances Thurs-Sat and Sat-Mon as most of us have busy personal lives on the weekends, and to allow the admin team to not be chained to the xbox every night.  Early advances will not alter the posted schedule above, but instead allow for more time to schedule & play a game before the next scheduled advance.  

AUTO-PILOT/CPU GAMES

The new Auto Pilot/CPU Game time will be 7pm EST.  Any owners who do not have a scheduled time with their opponent, will be permitted to play their games at this time.
One change will be the time that these players are put on Auto Pilot Monday - Thursday.  Owners will be placed on Auto Pilot at 5pm EST.  This is so that the admin team does not have to be online every evening to place guys on Auto Pilot, instead of having dinner with families and having a life away from Madden.
If you have not heard from your opponent, and made multiple efforts to schedule, please PM an Admin and provide a screenshot of proof of your attempts to contact via GroupMe.  You will not be allowed to play your CPU game until 7pm EST without the permission of your opponent or an Admin.  If your opponent gives you permission, you must provide a screen shot to an Admin of that as well.  Should you break the rules and play your game prior to 7pm without permission and the go ahead from an Admin, you will have your coach immediately fired from the league and lose all Coach XP.  Do not make this mistake, there will be no second warnings.

I am sure there will be questions, and we will answer them to the best of our ability, but there will not be changes to this new schedule.  Please read, review and undestand completely.

Thanks,
Admin Team

OFF SEASON SCHEDULE - Final

Updated Trade Rules

-Trading of Future Draft Picks is now banned.

- Do not trade Future Picks in Pick/Player deals or Pick/Pick deals on draft night.  If we find you have traded future picks, your Coach will be forced to retire and lose all progress.

- Offseason Trade Number Expanded to 2

- We have decided to increase the number of Offseason Trades from one to two.  Now all teams will be able to have TWO trades during the offseason (until we advance to Preseason).  Please submit all trade proposals to Falker via GroupMe, prior to processing trade, so it can be approved by Trade Committe.  Any trade that is processed prior to approval will be reversed and owners will have to live with cap penalties for not following rules.

 

OFFSEASON SCHEDULE

Stage 1:  Re-Signing Period.  Begins immediately following the NNFL Super Bowl.  During this time everyone will need to make sure they have all of their re-signings done or those players will enter free agency and be fair game to everyone.
 
Stage 2:  1st round of FA bidding.  Wednesday, 02/12/2014, 10:00pm  EST to Wednesday, 02/12/2014 11:00pm EST
 
Stage 3:  2nd round of FA bidding.  Wednesday, 02/12/2014, 11:00pm est to  Thursday 02/13/2014, 9:00pm est.
(Note: Second Round will now run for at longer amount of time, so guys who can't make the Offseason Day can have a shot at multiple rounds of bidding, lengthen pre-draft scouting time and trade negotiations,)
 
Stage 4:  3rd round of FA bidding.  Thursday, 02/13/2014, 9:00 est to 9:30 est.
 
Stage 5:  No Actions

Stage 9:  Pre-Season and Opening of free for all free agent pick ups.  Friday, 02/14/2014 @ 10:00 est.
 
 
As always, we will be playing 1 preseason game. If we end up with the same preseason schedule again, we will be playing week 3 instead of week 1.
 
Plan accordingly.

Traded Players / Free Agent Bidding - RESTRICTED PLAYERS

Due to the oversight of multiple owners making trades with players who were not  under contract next season, it has been brought to our attention that one of these players has rejected his new teams offer and currently is not schuled to be on that team next season, as originally thought and expected at the time of trade.  In order to rectify this situation this season and not punish an owner for an honest mistake, the following player is restricted from being bid on by any team in Free Agent Bidding other than the Detroit Lions.

HB Latavius Murray

Only Tymes and the Detroit Lions are permitted to bid on Murray during Free Agent Bidding, and it is required that he be signed to the Lions to at least a one season contract..

Any teams that bid on Murray will be required to cancel their bids, and if an owner ignores this request and is awarded Murray in FA Bidding, he will be required to immediately cut him and accept any Salary Cap penalty associated.  Failure to do so will result in immediate removal from the NNFL.  Please keep this easy and only allow the Lions to bid on this player that was believed to be honestly acquired by Tymes.

Thank you,

NNFL Admin Team
