All coaches are REQUIRED to have either AIM or Trillian and also an active email account. You will not be considered for this league if do not have one of these messenger programs, and the ability to check you email with frequency.
#2
Respect the other coaches in the league. Let's make the League a fun place to be. The #1 goal is to have fun.
#3
Good sportsmanship will be a staple in the League. Keep trash talk within respectable limits. If this is violated action will be taken against the offending coach/coaches as soon as I am aware of it. I will have little mercy, if any at all, on this topic.

Play within the "true" spirit of the game. What makes college football so special is the pageantry and excitement! Realism and str8 play is the key here. Running the same play over and over 20 times a game is not realistic football! Going for it on 4 and 20 in the first quarter is not realistic football! AI exploiting substitutions is not realistic football! Nickel and Dime Base Defenses is not realistic football. Be creative with your offensive and defensive sets! Match-up! Cheesy/Cheap play in any form will not be tolerated!
#5
Coaches are allowed to "ice" the kicker. You may only take a time out before the kicker has lined up and is in the act of lining up his field goal or PAT.
#6
Utilize ALL of your play book. It makes the game more fun if a coach is not running the same 3 - 4 plays every series. This gets very old quickly and creates disputes. Remember THIS is about REAL FOOTBALL, so play REAL FOOTBALL and not just Video Game Football...Comprende'!
#7
Use common sense and real football discernment when faced with long yardage situations. More specific Punting/FG rules are covered in the offense portion of the rules.
#8
DO NOT ABUSE $$$MONEY PLAYS$$$ OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE GAME THAT CHEAPENS THE GAME OR EXPLOITS THE AI OF THE GAME. Those that do use and abuse these tactics will be removed from the league.
#9
Kick Catch Interference, if you aren't trying to catch the punt and and you move your player out of the way and there is a kick catch interference call you must decline it. If you call fair catch and then move your player out of the way of the catch to block a defender from downing the ball you must decline the penalty. Accepting the penalty is considered cheesy play and a way to avoid bad field position. Cheap play is not accepted here so be fair to your opponent and decline it.
#10
Trick Plays
Trick plays out there must not be abused. Calling these play multiple times during a game will result in a warning at the very least, and if it becomes a problem with them being run more that say 2 or 3 times a game then we will restrict them further. This covers HB or WR pass plays, HB direct is another issue all its own.

Game Reports
Within 48 hours of game completion, each owner, win or lose, is to submit one. This will contain :
(1) The date the game was played on
(2) Your name and team
(3) Team and Coach you played against
(4) Your opponents offensive style and tendencies
Such as what formations did they go to a lot, did the QB force the ball when throwing deep, what kind of running plays did he favor, and anything else of note.
(5) Your opponents defensive style and tendencies
What base defense they ran (4-3, 3-3-5, 3-4, or 4-2-5), how much the blitzed, what player they controlled and like if they ran man to man or zone coverage.
(6) Opponents specials teams play
FGs, Punts, and all info on the kick returns and coverage that you can offer.
(7) Rate your opponent on a scale of 1-5 in :
*Sportsmanship
*Playing Sim (Realism basicly)
*Offensive play selection (using all there playbook)
*Defensive play selection (Seeing someones "base" formation much of the game is to be expected, but you should be seeing a Dime set coming out against a goal-line formation)
*Overall
(8) Any complaints, no matter how small or how large please bring them to us so we can handle them ASAP
Enter any complaints in this section.
This is to be an OBJECTIVE account of how the person played against you.
IF YOU HAVE ANY COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT THIS IS WERE YOU BRING IT UP AS WELL. All scouting reports will be reviewed by a comish and then all information other than any complaints will be listed for all to see if you click on the "Standings" option and then select the team who you wish you read about.
Complaints filled in the scouting reports will reviewed when submitted and again at the end of the season and can result in your removal if you have mulitple ones.
Your totals from these reports will be added up, after dropping the highest and lowest scores you receive, and your average per game score will be used as 50% of you point totals for the season.

Game Glitches
The intentional use of a game glitch whether "publicized" or not, is completely against the spirit of this league and will result in the immediate removal of the owner if it is found that the tactics were being used on purpose at any time.
#13
Scheduling
ALL GAMES MUST BE SCHEDULED ON THE FORMS. I WILL REPEAT - ALL GAMES MUST BE SCHEDULED ON THE FORMS. I am requiring this because it makes the
policing of owners who are not keeping up much easier. I know some of you think it's a pain but IT IS REQUIRED. If you do not schedule the game using the forms the game WILL NOT EXIST. Its as simple as that, do not test me on this. Even if you schedule your games on AIM, you MUST POST IT ON THE FORMS.
#14
Padding Stats
Padding your stats will not be tolerated. When a game is basicly out of reach (30+ points) there is no reason for you to still be feeding your star RB or throwing to your impact WR at this point. If you are suspected of doing this you will not only be warned, but banned from any consideration for postseason awards.
