Game Play Rules
1) These are SIM leagues. No Nano's, No using of any known glitches (example: Procedural Awareness, Clock Glitch, etc). If you play like a lobby player, then you will find yourself playing in the Lobby, not in these leagues.
2) Punting - If you are on your side of the field, you must punt on 4th down (unless you are down by 4 scores or more). In the 4th Quarter, if you are losing, you can go for it anytime. No Bullet punts.
3) Quitting is NOT TOLERATED. First off, if you quit, you have no evidence of any wrong doing. Your word is NOT better than your opponents word. If you are losing big, and ask your opponent if you can concede a game in the 4th quarter, fine as long as your opponent agrees. We expect to play a full game EVERYTIME. If you are unable to man up and do so, we can find someone who will.
4) You must attempt to run and pass the ball at least 10 times each per game. Certain game situations will dictate you may not hit this mark. If you feel you are subject to an un-sim like game experience due to your opponent over rushing or over passing, contact your commissioner for an investigation.
You are expected to mix up your plays. Repetitive play calling is gay, and shows lack of skill... mix it up.
5) No ridiculous formations audibles. (Example: Going from Quarters to Goalline). Going from Nickle to a 4-3 or 3-4 would be okay. Dime to Nickel okay. But Quarters to a running run blocking scheme/blitz, absolutely not.
6) Unrealistic drop backs, and QB insta sprints are not allowed (unless opponent sends an overload blitz). If its a called pass play, you must make at least a couple reads. If its a screen pass, that is not a run play, period.
7) Kick offs/Punt Returns
No onside kicks, unless down by 2 scores in the 4th quarter (or under 2 minutes to play, and you are losing)
Also, you may not control a blocker on either Punt Returns, or Kickoff returns. You may only control the Returner.
Fake Punt Rule
You may not fake punt at anytime on your side of the field. If you are on your opponents side of the field, the normal 4th down rule applies (you can go for it anytime on your opponents side of the field, this includes Fake Punts)
8) Milking the Clock - You may not milk the clock unless there is 3 minutes left in the half or til the end of the game.
9) Postion Rule:
This was one that we originally talked about applying to every position in the game, but decided that it should only be applied to the offense with 2 exceptions. Basically
QB's play QB
FB's play FB
HB's play HB
TE's play TE
WR's play WR
** You can still put a TE or HB in your 4th WR position... but no higher. Your top 3 WR's have to be WR's.
** OLine are interchangeable, any Lineman can play any position.
** SURPRISE ONSIDE KICKS ARE COMPLETELY BANNED, AND WILL GET YOUR SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM A LEAGUE...ZERO TOLERANCE ON THIS ISSUE **
