    Bulldog Fantasy Football League

    Welcome to the Bulldog Fantasy Football League ("BFFL"). This is a charity event and the netproceeds from the league will be donated to the Irvington PTSA. The Grand Prize winner willreceive two Super Bowl tickets for the February 3, 2013 game in New Orleans. No one under the

    age of 18 will be permitted to participate in the league

    In order to accommodate a large number of players, the BFFL will be a salary cap league. Thatmeans that each team has a salary cap (i.e. $100 million or whatever limit is set by the website) toallocate across its active roster in order to play the requisite number of people (see below). Thebetter your players perform in real-life NFL games, the more points they score for your fantasyteam and gets you closer to the Grand Prize.

    Currently our plan is to host the league through the Yahoo Fantasy Football League website. Aleague will be created and you will be provided log-in information once you pay your entry fee of$100, plus credit card fees if applicable. The $100 will cover entry to the league and the cost of

    the player selection event to be held on Sunday, September 9 at 7:30 at Life, the Place to bein Ardsley. In order to accommodate the most amount of participants, the league will start inWeek 2 of the season. Food and beverages will be served on a cash basis. The rules below arebased on Yahoo's rules from last season and are meant to be a high level description. The

    specific rules regarding how to add/drop players, set line-ups etc. will be available on-line

    and available once you receive your log-in information.

    The league is limited to 200 entries and participants will be admitted on a first-come, first-servebasis based upon the PTSA's receipt of the initiation fee. Sign-up will start on June 15. Wesuggest you sign-up as soon as possible since we expect to reach 200 fairly quickly. Participantsmay enter as many times as they want.

    The player selection will take place on September 9, 2012. Participants are required to attend theevent in order to select their team of virtual players.

    Rules

    Salary Cap

  • 7/31/2019 July 11 Fantasy Football

    2/5

    Each week, you'll decide which players to start, while keeping your team under a league-wide

    $100 million salary cap whatever limit is set by the website. The salary cap is the maximum

    amount of dollars that you can spend on the players in your lineup. Every team has $100 million

    available whatever limit is set by the website, and you must stay at or under this cap when

    building your 9-man roster each week. The player salaries will be available at the player selectionevent. All player salaries are adjusted at the end of each professional football week, using aYahoo! Sports algorithm that takes into account real-life performance from the current and priorseasons.

    No player can ever have a value of less than $1 million, and these values are not, in any way, basedon actual real-life player values.

    Also, each week you have the opportunity to adjust downward the salary you allot to players onyour team whose salaries have decreased since you acquired them. This brings your Team Value inline with the player's current market value, freeing up cap room for you to use on other player

    moves. So, assume you have $25 million allotted to Peyton Manning, but his current market valuedrops to $15 million. By clicking the "Renegotiate" link, you will lower his salary to $15 million.This frees up $10 million for other moves. Using this feature will automatically adjust the salariesfor every player on your team whose salary has decreased since you acquired them.If a player's salary has increased since you acquired him, his salary WILL NOT be adjustedupward on your roster when unit values are updated. However, if you sell this player, you must paythe current market value to reacquire him.

    Roster

    Each week, you must select a 9-man roster consisting of:

    One QuarterbackTwo Running BacksThree Wide ReceiversOne Tight EndOne KickerOne Team Defense

    If you do not have a complete 9-man roster, you will not receive any fantasy points for your entirelineup for that week.

    You do not need to reset your roster each week. If no changes are made, we willautomatically carry your current roster forward from week to week. However, you have the

    option of changing your line-up week to week so long as you stay under the salary cap.

    Scoring

    Fantasy points are awarded based on how well your players perform in each of several statisticalcategories (see chart below). All real-life statistics have associated point values, and each player's

    points are summed to produce your weekly total. So, for example, a touchdown is worth six pointsand a fumble recovery two, so a player with two touchdowns and a fumble recovery would score14 [(2*6) + (1*2)] fantasy points.

    * = Please note that special teams touchdowns (i.e., punt and kick return touchdowns) count towards the team defense's points.

    Also, players will not receive points in scoring categories not associated with their position. So, ifa kicker throws a touchdown pass or scores a rushing touchdown, or if a quarterback kicks an extrapoint, etc., no points will be awarded.Participants

    The league will be capped at 200 participants. Also, the league will not be operational unless thereare 100 participants in order to cover the costs of the prizes and ensure a sufficient donation to thePTSA. The league is open to school district residents and their friends and family.

    Tie Breaker

    At the player selection event, each participant will pick six players they think will have the mostaggregate points for the season, including week one, but excluding the playoffs ranked from one tosix. Any six unique players may be selected, except defenses, and there is no limitation on thepositions of the players. For example, you may select six quarterbacks if you wish. In the eventof a tie at the end of the season between one or more participants, the participant with the mostaggregate points of the number 1 selection wins. If there is a tie for the number 1 selection, thenthe number 2 selection's aggregate points are compared, and so forth until there is a clear winner.If for any reason there is no clear winner, the winner will be selected by a coin toss by a member ofthe Rules Commission.

    Prizes

    The winner is the person with the most total points at the end of the season. The winner willreceive two Super Bowl tickets for the February 3, 2013 game in New Orleans.

    In addition, the person with the highest point total after weeks 4, 8 and 12 will receive a prizevalued at less than $200 and will be announced prior to the player selection event.
