To prevent confusion, any lateral TD that  is scored  will count as a run  to the player scoring the TD.  The Yards for the TD player starts from the spot they get the ball.  If it is pass, the QB receives full credit for the pass and TD as well.  The player that received the ball or ran the ball prior to the lateral will get credit up until the point of the lateral.

DEADLINES
Deadlines outlined in the following rules are all listed in
Eastern Standard Time (EST).
All deadlines are strictly enforced.
TEAM NAMES
When you enter a team, you must submit a team name. Team names cannot be duplicated. Once you create a name, that name is yours for life. When making your team name, be creative and remember that the names will reflect you. You may only use the same team name once in each of our sports leagues. If you have 2 or more teams in one of our sports leagues, please make different names for each of them. You are encouraged to use the same team names year after year and maybe you might find yourself in the Fantasytime Sports HALL of FAME. For multiple entries, you may use a Roman Numeral after your name. This is recommended for the Fantasytime Playoff. We have no affiliation to the NFL and official NFL team names will not be allowed. Try to avoid team names that may be offensive to other owners. We reserve the right to reject obscene names.
TEAM ROSTER
Team rosters will be made up of 16 positions at all times. Each team roster will be required to have the following:
2 Quarterback
4 Running Backs
4 Wide Receivers
2 Tight End
2 Place Kicker
2 Defense Special Team
 
This is what you will need to draft and have on your active roster at all times.
 
STARTING ROSTERS

Your starting roster will be made up of 8 positions and may include one Alternate player (AP). If you are submitting an alternate player, you must identify the player that he is the alternate for.  Your weekly starting roster to be turned in must include:

1 Quarterback
2 Running Backs
2 Wide Receivers
1 Tight End
1 Kicker
1 Defensive Team
1 Alternate Player (optional)

This is the only starting rosters that will be permitted.

1 AP (optional)  Teams are allowed to name one alternate player for a position player.  Each week you will need to post your alternate when you submit your lineup.  You will enter your alternate player and identify the player you are alternating for in the Quotable: section below the lineup submission. When you submit your lineup you will need to fill this in prior to selecting the submit button.
Please review the alternate definition below for the correct usage.
 

Starting Roster Deadlines NO EXCEPTIONS
Starting rosters can be submitted Tuesday through Sunday at 1:00 PM EST each week.  All starting rosters will lock at 1:00 PM EST and no further changes can be made to your lineup.

Starting rosters for a Thursday Night game must be submitted prior to game time and cannot be changed once the game begins. Other roster players can still be changed on a starting roster until the weekly deadline on Sunday. Owners can now change lineups until 1:00 PM on Sunday morning please keep reading.  This excludes any player that was on the Thursday Night NFL team and those players are now locked until Tuesday. Players assigned for the Thursday Night game cannot be changed. Any roster not updated by the due date and time will result in the previous week's roster. This includes any player that plays Thursday. The Integrity Rule applies for all games and weeks. The Integrity Rule is listed below.

SATURDAY GAMES
If you have any players in a Saturday game, your lineup must be submitted prior to the start of the game.  Changes then can only be made on players not playing in the Saturday games up until the Starting Roster deadline.

To submit your lineup, you will go to your teams homepage by clicking on your teams helmet. You will then click on Lineups located in the top left hand corner were you will then be required to enter your teams ID to enter your lineup page.  You will then click on the players you wish to start that week. To remove a player from your starting roster, simply click on that player and he will be removed.  Remember you must include your alternate in the Quotable section if you wish to us an alternate for that week making sure you identify the player you are alternating for.  All lineups can be looked at by going to the leagues homepage on the program and selecting Match-ups.

Lineup Tip: You should update your lineup each Tuesday just to make sure you get your changes submitted for the following week.  You never know what might happen and you can always update it again.  Better to be safe then sorry.

If you do not submit a lineup, one will be submitted for you by the commissioner. You can put your lineup in starting each week after 3:00 AM Tuesday. There is no reason why you do not put a lineup in. E-mail the commissioner if you will be away. Once the deadline passes the lineup is closed. If a team does not post their lineup by the weekly deadline, the commissioner will submit on for them. This lineup will be official and will count. Please submit your lineups weekly early as you can update them again up until the weekly deadline. 

*** teams may change their lineup until 1:00  PM Sunday mornings. The rule above will still be the same. If a owner does not submit a lineup by 11 PM on Saturday night, the commissioner will put one in for them. The commissioner will not submit any alternate.

This guarantees a lineup is in for each team. Owners now can update their lineups until they lock Sunday at 1:00 PM, so even if the commissioner posted one for you, you still have a chance to make your own update

ALTERNATE PLAYER
The Alternate Player (AP) is used to backup one of your starting players. When you submit your starting roster, you may add one alternate player from your bench. This alternate can only sub for one identified player. Make sure to identify which player he will be the alternate for. If you do not identify the player and position, the alternate will not count. The alternate can only be an alternate for the position that they are and not for another position. (example: a quarterback cannot sub for a wide receiver.) The alternate score will only be in effect if the positional player does not play. If your selected starting player is in the game for one snap of the ball, his points will count as the official score. The alternate player score would not count in this case. This rule was created to help the teams who have a questionable player prior to game time lineup deadlines.If a team submits two alternates, the first one listed will be used only and the other one not recognized.

To submit an alternate player, you will fill in the alternate players information below your lineup submission in the Quotable: section.  This is a sample of how you need to input your alternate in the comments section under lineups:

Alt. E. Smith RB for Identified Player J. Stewart RB

You can view a teams lineup by clicking on Matchups on your league programs homepage.  You will see the teams lineup and under the owners name any alternates submitted will show up next to Quotable:

Alternates can only be submitted each week during the lineup submission period. Same deadlines apply for alternates and starting lineups.

 

INTEGRITY RULE
Our leagues are all about fun and fair play. The Integrity Rule has been created to keep it that way. The issue is bye weeks and season ending injuries. Bye weeks are part of the game, so be careful when drafting your team. Injuries are also a part of the game, but they are uncontrollable. The point here is that there is nothing worse than coming down the stretch and a team that has fallen out of the playoffs race does not update their lineup. This is not in the best interest of the game and will not be tolerated. The following rule will help to aid the teams that forget to submit a lineup on time, are away on vacation and cannot get a lineup in, or to help out a team owner that has lost interest in their team.
INTEGRITY RULE
If a team does not submit, or submits a lineup containing a player (s) on a bye week, the Fantasytime Sports Commissioner will replace that player (s) with an active player in their place.  The commissioner will try to review all lineups prior to game time to make the proper changes if necessary using his best judgment for player substitution.  If the players are not updated between 11 PM Saturday night and game time Sunday, the player that will be replacing the bye week player will be the highest scoring player at that qualifying position on that teams bench based on the history not including the scoring of that week. This will be done by the commissioner before the results are posted on Tuesday.  If you know you are playing a team that has players on a bye week, beware that they will be changed per this rule. The same will be done for a player that has experienced a season ending injury or is listed on the injured reserve list prior to the starting roster deadline on Saturday. Only a player listed on injured reserve will be substituted for, not injured players that are questionable. Injuries are part of the game and use of the alternate player allows a owner to cover a player that may be questionable going into a game. The integrity rule will keep the leagues more competitive and guard against teams from have incomplete rosters. Some teams may not have a player available at a position due to injury and or the bye week. In this case the spot cannot be changed by the league and the 0 score will count.

Teams must put there best foot foot forward and teams that put inactive players in their lineups will be warned by the commissioner.  As long as the players are active players there will not be any questions.  Have respect for your fellow owners and play to win each week  Although this rule does not prevent a player from playing there backups, it is always in the best interest of the owners to try to score the highest score each week to qualify for the grand prizes round.  It only takes one week to qualify and to get a chance at wining the bonus prize.

If a team does not post their lineup by the weekly deadline, the commissioner will submit on for them. This lineup will be official and will count. Please submit your lineups weekly early as you can update them again up until the weekly deadline.

Integrity Rule Summary:
Bye week and or Injured reserve starters will not be allowed in any starting roster unless they are the only player available for that position.  Make sure your lineups are active.  Lineups will only be changed if a team is in violation of the above rule.  Injuries after the weekly deadline will not effect this rule and players would not be changed.
TEAM ABANDONMENT
Any team that does not update their roster for a period of three weeks during the regular season or has not had contacted the league in this time period will be considered abandon. If a team has been ruled as abandoned, the league commissioner will run the team for the remainder of the season. All efforts will be made by the league before announcing a team as abandoned. The franchise will then be sold at years end.
TRANSACTIONS
Dropping one player on your roster for another player not on a roster. A player cannot be picked up in the same week that he was dropped. Each team will have unlimited transactions per week but must always maintain the roster requirments.. Weekly transactions can be made from Tuesday at 3:00 AM EST until 11:00 PM EST Saturday.
TRANSACTION PERIOD
The transaction period will begin the Tuesday prior to the start of the 2023 season.  Weekly transactions can be made from Tuesday at 3:00 AM EST until 12:00 PM EST Sunday. Transactions are not allowed after week 14.

Tuesday until Wednesday before 9:00 PM EST is the waiver period were it is worst to first. After waivers have been posted until 12:00 PM EST Sunday, is first come first serve. No transactions will be allowed after this time each week.

* Add drops will be allowed in playoffs for all teams in the playoffs.  Once a teams season ends, that team will no longer be allowed to make add drops. Each team will have a maximum of 1 add drop per week, if they wish.  The same process with waivers and then first come first serve like our weekly add drop timeline will be used.

All transaction requests are submitted through the program.
To submit your transaction, you will go to your teams homepage by clicking on your teams helmet or name. You will then click on Add/Waive located in the top left hand corner were you will then be required to enter your teams ID to enter your add/drops page.  You will then click on the free agent lists by position to make your selections.  Just click on the player and then select add.

PICK-UP RULE
After the Draft prior to the regular season, transactions will be allowed the week prior to the season. Waivers will be used.  If you have drafted wisely, you should not have to make any moves until after the season has started. The regular season transactions will run every week from Tuesday at 3:00 AM EST until Wednesday before 9:00 PM EST. Any players wanted by two or more teams during this time frame will go to the team first in the waiver order. Once a team has selected a player, that team will become the lower seeded team in the waiver list. If you do not make a transaction in a week, your rank in the order can only get better. This means that the first ranked team will have the first opportunity to pick up a player. If they add a player, they will now drop to the 12th selection in the waiver order and everyone will move up one spot. If you add one player you will move to the bottom of the list in order of giving everyone else the opportunity to add a player. This will be the rule for all 12/14 teams each week during the transaction period. After waivers run, until Sunday 12:00 PM EST, pick ups will be first come first serve.
WAIVERS
A player must clear waivers before he can be picked up by another team. A player cannot be picked up in the same week that he was dropped. Waivers last from Tuesday at 3:00 AM EST time until Wednesday at 9:00 PM EST. All players picked up in the waiver period will be posted that night. Players will be first come first serve after waivers until Sunday at 12:00 PM EST. This will allow all teams the availability to add a new player, if they were not able to during waivers.  Players dropped cannot be added in the same week as they must clear and go through waivers.
TRADING
Trading one player on your roster for another player on an active roster. Teams can trade players weekly, Tuesday at 9:00 AM EST through Thursday at 9:00 PM EST. 
TRADING PERIOD Weekly Tuesday 9 AM - Thursday 9 PM
Trades can be made through the Thursday 9:00 PM, prior to week 10.

Weekly trading can be made from Tuesday at 9:00 AM EST until Thursday at 9:00 PM EST.
To submit a trade,
all trade requests must be E-mailed to the Commissioner. You must include your name, your team name, player (s) being traded, team name that you are trading with, and the player (s) being acquired. Trade confirmation must be sent in by all parties involved in the trade to have the commissioner submit it to the league for a vote. Rosters must be complete at all times and minimum positions requirements must be maintained. If confirmation is not received from all parties in the trade prior to the weekly deadline, it would have have to be resubmitted the following week if the teams still agreed.* This is effective as of 10/30/15
*TRADE Involving Thursday night players

If a trade is submitted with any player(s) scheduled to play in a Thursday night game, both teams will need to indicate if they will be starting them or not. This is the owners responsibility and not the league. This is to ensure that if the trade is approved after the start of the game that you know they are starting or not and if the trade is disapproved that the players would be starting or not.  Since the weekly trade deadline extends through game time Thursday, this needs to be included in the trades sent in by you the owner.  If the player in the trade is not identified to start or not, he will not be included in a starting lineup.
TRADE APPROVAL
Trades will be submitted by the commission to the entire league for approval by e-mail. After a trade has been submitted to the commissioner, the trade will be sent to the entire league for a vote. Once a vote has been sent out to the league for a vote, the owners need to reply within 48 hours. In the case not enough votes are received, the commissioner will cast enough votes to approve or disapprove a trade.  If a trade seems fair to you you should reply with a Yes Vote.  If a trade seems to be to one-sided for one team, the owners should Vote No on the trade. All E-mail votes should be sent to the Commissioner. If six teams reject the proposal, the trade will be vetoed. If six teams vote to approve the trade will be passed. The commissioner will hold the right to cast up to two votes per trade. If there are not enough votes cast, the commissioner will cast enough to approve or disapprove the trade.  The commissioner will not overturn any decision made by the league if there are at least 6 votes submitted as approved or disapproved. The commissioner may also include comments on the trade to the league prior to them voting on the deal.  It is the responsibility of the commissioner to inform but not restrict trading. Each trade will be handled quickly. After the trade has been approved or disapproved, the Commissioner will E-mail the league with the results. If the trade is passed, the players are now available for your starting roster. During the regular season, any trades that are passed will be posted on the leagues bulletin board under trades for 2016.

Trades can be made through the Thursday 9:00 PM, prior to week 10.

Trade voting will be decided within 3 days from when a trade is sent out for a vote by the commissioner of Fantasytime Sports. If after 3 days the votes are not all received to approve or disapprove a trade, the league commissioner will cast the remaining votes to approve or disapprove the trade. Trades do not have to be replied to all, only the commissioner of Fantasytime Sports. Any trades that are disapproved by the league will be sent out with a comment by the commissioner on how the trade might be changed to be resubmitted for a new vote.  If a trade is turned down after the Thursday deadline, the teams would need to rework the deal and resubmit it the following week. If it is the final week of trading, the commissioner will allow the owner to submit a new proposal as long as it is prior to the lineup deadline on Saturday night.

INJURED RESERVE (IR):
In order to place a player on the IR, he must be listed as doubtful or worse. You will only be allowed to have a maximum of two players on the IR. Any IR player can be reactivated at any time. This does include the playoffs. A player that is on your IR list and plays for one snap of the ball must be reactivated the following week. If you reactivate a player from IR, you will need to drop another player from your roster. Make sure that you meet all the requirements for your roster. If the IR player is not reactivated, he will become a free agent. All IR moves will be posted on the leagues homepage in the transaction reports. A player can be put on IR from Tuesday at 9:00 AM EST until12:00 PM EST on Sunday. The same rules apply for IR moves that apply for transactions. Players will be picked up in the same way as the Free Agents. Please check out Transactions and Waiver Period for the pick up rules. IR moves can be made in the same time frame as transactions. The final day to put a player on IR is Sunday of week 14 at 12:00 PM EST. A player on IR can be reactivated anytime. This does include the playoffs. *See transaction period for special case for QB or K in week 14 or playoffs.
DRAFT AND DRAFT SELECTIONS
The drafts will be held live in our draft room.  The date and times will be posted as the leagues are formed. The initial draft order will be determined by dice rolls at Irony.com. Each team will have the dice rolled for them by the commissioner. The highest roll will win the first pick in the draft. The draft order will be from the highest total dice roll to lowest to complete the draft order. The draft will be in serpentine order. (1 -12, then 12 - 1) The draft will be 16 rounds long. Each team will draft 16 positions to fill all their roster spots.

The time limit for the draft picks are as follows:
Rounds 1 - 16, 2 minutes
Preparation is the key to a good draft. Time limits will be observed.

All teams must be paid in full prior to the Live Initial Draft.
DRAFT PROCEDURES AND OPTIONS
After the initial draft selection has taken place, each team will receive the draft order. All teams should fill out a list of pre-ranked players. This must be done so you are prepared to draft your team. Time limits for the draft will be enforced. Your list should include the following:
24 QB'S
48  RB'S
48  WR'S
24  TE'S
24  KICKERS
24  DEFENSIVE TEAMS

Rosters will be locked after the initial draft until one week prior to the start of the season.

DRAFT OPTIONS FOR YOU
(1) DRAFT YOUR TEAM
Prepare your draft list and draft your own team in the live draft.
(2) SUBMIT YOUR DESIRED DRAFT ORDER
If you wish, you may submit a draft list for the commission to draft a team for you. Since you will know what pick you have in all the rounds, you will need to identify what position you want each round. EXAMPLE: Round 1 RB, Round 2 QB, Round 3 RB, and so on. Make sure to have picked at least 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR's, 1 TE 1 K, 1 Def, and 9 of any of the positions to meet the requirements of the roster.  All lists must be E-mailed or mailed to the Commissioner prior to the live draft.
(3) THE LEAGUE CAN DRAFT FOR YOU
If you do not want to participate in the live draft, you may have the league draft the team for you. This option is similar to the option above, but we do all the work for you. This is for the owners that want to have fun with a team but do not have the time to prepare for a draft.

POSITION ELIGIBILITY
Player position eligibility will be based on what position the player is listed as at http://www.nfl.com, the official web site of the NFL. The position a player is drafted or acquired from free agency, is the position he will remain for that season. If nfl.com lists a player at multiple positions, you can determine his permanent position when you draft or claim the player through a transaction. Once a player has been assigned to a position he must remain at that position for the remainder of the year. A player maybe reevaluated by the league after the completion of a season and be moved to another position if needed. Once a player is on a roster his position will not change even if he is released.
PROTESTS
Any owner having a protest, must file the protest with the Commissioner. The protest will be determined by the league rules and the Commissioner's judgment. If the Commissioner feels the protest is unclear, he will ask the league to vote on the issue. If the protest involves scoring, three forms of proof should be provided to support your claim. All protests must be submitted before the next week's games begin. Weekly Deadlines close Saturday night at 11:00 PM EST. No protests will be excepted after the close of the following week.
SPECIAL TEAMS & DEFENSIVE TEAMS
Are one in the same. It is possible that a individual player and a defensive team could both be awarded points for the same score. Successful 1 and 2 point conversions will be considered offensive scoring, not special teams.
RULE CHANGES
Rule changes will only be made if it is in the best interest of the league. All rule changes would have to be passed by the league owners if it was in the middle of the season or a major change to the league. Our leagues are all about fun and interacting with others. We try to run our leagues on a personal and professional level and build relationships with our customers.
REFUNDS
Just in case an untimely event should occur, refunds will only be available prior to a teams initial draft. No refunds will be given after you have drafted your players. League Fees will be due prior to the initial draft each season. No refunds will be given after the draft has begun.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Fantasytime Sports is all about fair and fun play for all owners. We promote a high quality interaction with the commissioner and provide bulletin boards and chat rooms for the owners to use. At no time should owners use the boards to down grade an owner or the leagues. Trash talking is fine as it is a part of the game, but it should be limited to the players playing for the owners and not disrespect for the league and its owners. Vulgarity and predigests is not allowed and can cause banishment from the leagues. Please respect others and treat them with the respect you would want.
