League Settings:
• All-Madden difficulty
• Sim game style
• 7 Minute quarters
• No accelerated clock
• Created coaches
• 48 Hour advances, extended advances for holidays
General Rules:
• Any rule violations will result in player suspensions, being placed on auto-pilot, or league removal.
Repeat offenders will get a greater punishment until league removal is necessary.
• All CPU Games must be live streamed and a link posted in chat before kickoff.
• No quitting any games. First offense will be user suspension for 2 weeks. Second offense will be league
removal.
Scheduling:
• Users are expected to schedule within the first 24 hours after an advance. If one user has not contacted
another a force or CPU game can be set.
• If you are going out of town or facing time away from being able to get games in, please let an admin
know so that your opponents can be notified. A user will not be punished missing these games unless it
happens frequently.
Disconnect Rule:
• When a disconnect occurs in the first half, the game is to be recreated. This includes score, time
remaining, possession and field position. If a game disconnects while one team was up a large score,
the game does not need to be recreated and a force will be set.
• When a disconnect occurs in the second half the teams will recreate the time remaining possession and
field position in the first half. The teams will play with a “ghost score” and quit at half time. The losing
team must close app to quit. Conceding will not work. The “ghost score” winner will be given a force win.
• The required score to recreate is only the lead. Ex: If the game was 42-28, the score to recreate is only 14-0.
Sportsmanship:
• Users are expected to know when enough is enough. That being said, a user is not expected to run into a run commit over and over again, passing to gain a first on third down is allowed.
Offensive Rules:

o 4th & 2 or less: 34 to Goal Line
o Down at any point by 3 possessions
o Losing in the 4th quarter.
• Constant no huddling is only allowed within in the 2 minute warnings or while losing in the 4 quarter. At
any other point in the game, back to back no huddle plays is not allowed.
• 8 run plays minimum per game. Less than 32 will only require 25% running plays ( 28-31 plays= 7 runs,
24-27= 6 runs, 20-23= 5 runs).
• Chewing clock is only allowed with under 4 minutes left in the 4th or if the game is out of hand and the opponent requests to do so.
• QBs can only run on designed run plays or scrambling if a play breaks down/evading a blitzer. No
clearing out the wide receivers and scrambling as soon as the ball is hiked.
• No cancelling play action after hiking the ball.
Defensive Rules:
• Switch up play calling, no continually running the same zone play after play.
• At least 3 defenders must be rushing at all times unless a defensive lineman recognizes a screen and
goes to cover the receiver.

Special Team Rules:
• 1 Fake punt or field goal per game, no restrictions on where or when this can happen
• No calling a defensive audible to leave a FG defense formation.
• No pulling an extra blocker all the way back to the returner on punt returns. You may move one defender
off the line of scrimmage to defend against fake punts.

approved unless the agreements have been posted. There is no backing out of a trade once the trade is agreed on in forums.
• 2 trades allowed per regular season

• Teams are only allowed to sign 2 free agents per pre-season/regular season week.
• Following the draft, teams are only allowed to sign 1 UNDRAFTED free agent per week. This signing will
not count towards the already allotted 2 free agents per week.
• Teams are allowed 2 practice squad steals per season. Practice squad stealing will not start until week 2 of each regular season.
