All teams must be Unplayed and Unranked when they enter league play.<br>
A maximum of two of each race allowed in the league.<br>
No team may have a player with the skill Dirty Player.<br>
Star Players are not allowed, you may hire Wizards, however.<br>
If a coach FOULS during a game he will be SUSPENDED from the league and all the teams future and previous games will be forfeit.<p>

DIVISIONS<p>
There will be two Divisions with an equal number of teams.<br>
These Divisions will be the North American Division and the European Division<br>
This will make scheduling regular season games easier, with flexibility only needed for the Play-offs.<p>

REGULAR SEASON<p>
All teams will play each other!<br>
Within a division teams will play each other TWICE.<br>
All teams will play each of the teams in the other division ONCE.<br>
This will be accomplished by setting up multiple tournaments.<br>
The First Round tournament will actually be two tournaments, one for each division.<br>
The Second Round tournament will involve all teams, in all divisions.<br>
Each team will play approximately 16 games in the season, depending on the size of the division, with 2 points up for grabs in each game.<p>
Standings will be determined by points as follows:<p>

2 points for a win<br>
1 point for a tie<br>
0 points for a loss<p>
Forfeits- 2 for a "win", 0 for a "loss". If no contact is made by either coach, both will receive 0 points.

This means that in an 12 Team league, 16 total matches would be played, with a maximum of 32 possible points.<p>

PLAYOFFS<p>
The top two teams of each division will advance to the semi-finals.<br>
The next two teams with the most points, regardless of division, will also advance to the semi-finals.<br>Seeding will be based on points.<br>
In the case of a tie in points;<br>the head-to-head record will take be considered first with the winning team advancing.<br>
If the teams in question played to a draw;<br>then the team with the superior overall Touchdown Differential will advance.<br>
Finally, if all the above factors are even;<br>then a "Wild-Card" game will be played, with the victor advancing.<p>
The Divisional Play-offs will be arranged as follows:<p>Number 1 playing against Number 4<br>
Number 2 playing against Number 3.<p>
The finals will be played by the winners of the Divisional Play-offl matches.<br>
The winner of the final will be Champion of the League.<p>
A match will be held by the losers of the Semifinals to determine the third place team.<p>
NOTES:<p>

Deadlines will be strictly enforced unless both coaches communicate and arrange for their match to be played in a time frame which does not hold up their next match. Lack of communication will result in forfeiture of the match by both coaches, unless one coach has shown an effort to play; in which case THAT team will receive the the victory points.<p>

Except for real emergencies or unforeseen events, any team which misses more than one game will be banned from future seasons.<p>
