2007 Ligue de Football Pastiche Rules


GENERAL
The league will consist of 10 teams playing in a Yahoo! Fantasy Football League. Each week, 2 teams will play head-to-head. Scoring will be as defined in the scoring rules on the web page. Standings will be kept based on these games. Ties will not be broken. The regular season will consist of 14 weeks. The playoffs will be on weeks 15 and 16. There will be a championship bracket for the top four teams, and a consolation bracket for the next 4 teams. The remaining teams will not participate in post-season play.

DRAFT
Draft order will be randomly determined. It will be a serpentine draft, Draft order is 1-10 in odd numbered rounds, and 10-1 in even numbered rounds. There will be 15 rounds. The draft will occur via Yahoo! live draft on a date to be generally agreed upon by the group.

ROSTERS
A team can have up to 15 players on a roster. Positions will be QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and Team Defense.

STARTING LINEUPS
Starters will be 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 2 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 Def. A player may be moved from position to position, bench to position, or position to bench at any time before that player takes the field.

WAIVERS
Unlimited player transactions are permitted. Free agents may be picked up immediately at any time. Dropped players are on waivers for 1 full day (the day dropped, plus the following day). Players on waivers may be claimed by multiple teams, with the player awarded to the team with higher priority on the day the player would become a free agent.
