Fantasy Football Rules

 

We will be using the Yahoo Fantasy Sports website for our fantasy football league. Yahoo rules will apply except for a few modifications seen below. Changes can be made at the discretion of the Administrative staff.

1. Sportsmanship/Participant Conduct

Sportsmanship is important before, during, and after Intramural contests. Fantasy Football leagues will not meet in-person, however appropriate language must be used in all league draft and message boards. Appropriate images must also be used.

2. Team Names

Team names must be appropriate. Captains of teams that reference anything deemed inappropriate or offensive in their name will be contacted by Intramural Sports to change the team name. Intramural Sports reserves the right to change names at any time and without notice (based on circumstance).

3. Communication Efforts

Throughout the season and playoffs, Intramural Sports may attempt to contact teams and/or individuals on multiple occasions. Please do not ignore messages.

4. Rules of the Game

Playoffs- All teams will advance to the playoffs. Playoffs will be set up according to Yahoo standards.

5. The Draft

The draft will be held at a TBD date before the 1st week of the NFL season.
Owners will have one minute to make their draft selections.
All teams will draft a 14-man roster.

All leagues will have a snake draft. The drafts will commence online via Yahoo.com, so please be ready and properly logged in to the league page.
Snake Draft: Team owners participate in each round of the draft by taking turns selecting players in a snake draft format (i.e., 1-12, 12-1, 1-12, etc.). Each team drafts one player per round until all roster slots are full (including bench). Teams will have 90 seconds to make their draft selection each round.
