All NFFC contests will allow participants to know the results of the Thursday, Sept. 5th and Friday, September 6th games before locking their Week 1 lineups. Lineups for Week 1 lock at their scheduled start time and all BAL/KC and PHI/GB players will lock Sunday, September 8th at 12 pm CT.

All roster modifications must be done on the website.

There are 2 types of roster modifications:

(1) Free Agent Acquisition
A Free Agent Acquisition occurs when you add a new player to either your starting lineup or bench and drop a player from your roster. You may acquire any listed or unlisted player not on your current roster. Free Agent Acquisitions are limited to 17 per roster during the Contest and must involve players listed at the same position when you are dropping a player from your starting lineup. Free Agent Acquisition example: Acquire Kenny Golladay, Drop Julio Jones

(2) Bench Switch
A bench switch occurs when you replace a player from your starting lineup with a player from your bench. Bench switches are Unlimited during the Contest and must involve players listed at the same position. Bench switch example: Start Josh Jacobs, bench Alvin Kamara.
Listed Players
You can select listed players at any time before or during the Contest. Listed players can be selected for your starting lineup effective immediately upon submitting your entry. A listed player's position has been determined by NFFC based on his play last year and will remain the same for the entire Contest.

All positions: $750,000

Scoring System
Teams are ranked by comparing their team totals to the other teams in their league. The team with the highest total in each category will receive 15 points and the team with the lowest will receive 1 point.

Overall points are calculated by ranking your team's statistics totals versus all other entries in the contest.

A player's stats are added to your team's statistics totals only during the weeks that he is on your starting lineup. All statistics accumulated by the players in your starting lineup, regardless of what position they actually play, contribute to your team's statistics total. Special teams yardage does not count. bench players' statistics, statistics by a player before he was on your roster, as well as preseason and playoff statistics, do not contribute to your team's statistics total.

Stats are accumulated weekly for all starting players. The stat week begins with games played on Thursday and ends with games played on Monday. Statistics from the game played on the week 1 Thursday game are included and do count in the Contest.

In the event that any game is postponed or canceled for any reason and the game is not played on or before the following Wednesday, players on the teams in the postponed/canceled game will receive no stats for that week.

The formula to calculate total scoring is: (Rushing TDs x 6) + (Passing TDs x 6) + (Receiving TDs x 6) + (Field Goals x 3) + Extra Points + (Other TDs x 6). Two-point conversion points are awarded to the player scoring the conversion. Kicker scoring is calculated as all points scored by any player by kicking the football through the uprights.

The average categories are calculated using total passing attempts, carries and receptions, and are calculated to three decimal places.

SportsHub Games Network, Inc. shall not be responsible or held liable to any person for damage to property or personal injury or death arising from the acts or omissions of any third parties. Any participants or co-managers who collude, or attempt to collude, or who attempts to blackmail, bribe or otherwise influence any representative of SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC, or who otherwise attempts to sabotage the league, in an effort to alter the results or outcome of any NFFC game will be disqualified and will be prohibited from winning any prize award. If a participant is banned from participation in a current NFFC game, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, to take those actions which it sees fit, in its sole discretion with respect to such banned participant's team. Any criminal behavior may be referred to the appropriate authorities.

Errors

The deadline for submitting any dispute or claim regarding the operation of any league draft is one hour after the conclusion of the draft itself; further, leaving any live draft event without submitting any dispute or claim regarding the draft constitutes your waiver of any right to challenge any aspect of the draft. You are strongly urged to double-check your lineups, trades, and free agent moves throughout the season, as SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC will not be held liable for any errors in entering lineups, trades or free agent moves, and SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC will not intervene or alter a transaction after lineups, trades or free agent moves are due.

Prize Splitting

Prize splitting amongst the principal registrant and co-managers is available, provided that the principal registrant has authorized payment to his co-managers in writing and in advance of the completion of the season. In order to authorize prize-splitting, the principal registrant must completely fill out and sign the authorization form designated by SportsHub Games Network, Inc. (including the name and address of the co-manager(s) and the applicable prize percentage to be paid to each co-manager(s)). Both the principal registrant and each co-manager designated on a prize-splitting form will be required to fill out a W-9. No prize money will be distributed until all necessary forms have been received by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. Both the principal registrant and the co-manager(s) will receive IRS Form 1099 reflecting the prize money paid to each. If SportsHub Games Network, Inc. deems, in its sole discretion, that the appropriate documentation and/or authorization has not been received, or has not been received in a timely fashion, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will pay prize payments only to the principal registrant.

Communication Access

All NFFC team owners must have internet access and a valid e-mail address for communication. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. is not responsible for any issues which impede or interfere with the transmission or receipt of any transaction, including but not limited to, draft selections, trades, free agent moves and lineups.
