• Once you find an agreed upon time, one of the owners must create a calendar event when the game is expected to be played. If there are no games on the calendar window after at the 48 hour mark, the league will advance.
4.0 Players Union
The players union will consist of four owners within the league to help vote and decide things within the league. Any decision that has been made by the league office that an owner feels is unfair, may request a review of the players union. A member of the players union will reach out to the members involved to hear their side of the story. The union then will then vote in favor of enforcing or overturning the ruling. Below is a list of rulings that can be requested by the players union to review
A) Trade Denial
B) Rule Breaking
C) Player/Owner Punishment
If a union member is involved in any of these situations, they will be excused from the voting process in order to create a fair and balanced system. In the result of a tie, the league office will maintain the fifth and final vote.
5.0 Gameplay Rules - OFFENSE
5.1 Mix up your play calling & formations offensively and defensively while staying realistic with your play calling. Ratio of no less than 25% - 75% run - pass or pass - run ratio in all your games.
5.2 QB Movement - Sprinting toward the line of scrimmage with your QB after he has rolled out to either direction will be a declaration of intent to run. Players must either commit to the run or throw the ball away. Continuing a roll out of with the QB, taking an angle towards the sideline but with a direct path not across the line of scrimmage will be allowed as you continue to scan downfield for options. Breaking the pocket and sprinting horizontally directly towards the sideline then stopping short is considered cheese and should not take place in this league.
5.3 The "Chew Clock" feature is only to be used when:
• You are ahead by 28 points to avoid running up the score.
• The final two minutes of the 4th quarter.
• Getting approval from opposing owner in game to chew the clock.
5.4 The no huddle offense can be toggled on anytime during the game from the clock control menu. However if you call a formation that puts a player WR out of position (HB/FB/TE) a timeout must be taken by the offense. The TRIANGLE no huddle offense can only be used in the last two minutes of each half.
5.5 You may only go for it on 4th down when:
• You are past the 45 yard line (arrow pointing up) with 1 yard or less to go.
• You are the losing team in the 4th quarter, (A) you can go for it if fewer than 3 minutes left in regulation or (B) if down by (2) possessions then you can go for it on whenever you like.
Gameplay Rules - DEFENSE
5.6 You are only allowed to manually move one (1) player on defense prior to the snap.
5.7 You must have at least three (3) rushers rushing the QB the entire game. You may use plays like the Dollar QB Contain that really only rushes 1 DL and the other 2 contain, but they cannot drop back into coverage.
5.8 Special Teams
• Line drive punts are not allowed in any circumstances during the game.
• You may only attempt an onside kick if you’re down by any amount in the 4th quarter within the last four minutes.

7.0 Sportsmanship
7.1 Be respectful towards one another on GROUPME, forums, and in any messages you send to one another. Vulgar language and/or cursing other players out may get you suspended or booted from the chat/league. It's ok to joke around and we believe in friendly competition. It’s a fine line to walk if you choose to walk it.
7.2 If you are beating an opponent badly, do not run up the score. Once you get up 35 points, then you should run on every down except 3rd down in which case you can pass to get a 1st down. Anyone caught not following this rule will be subject to a possible player(s) suspension(s) by the Commissioner.
7.3 In any game, if your player(s) stats seem to be above a reasonable amount, it may be considered padding your stats. Padding your stats in any game will be a quick and easy way to get player(s) from your team benched for two (2) - four (4) games. If you want player(s) on your team to win Offensive Award(s) of the Year, go about it in a fair way.
8.0 Streaming Policy
