Overview
The $100 Guillotine (Wk4) will consist of multiple leagues each comprised of 14 teams.

Guillotine leagues are private leagues that consist of 14 teams per league. Each week standings are determined by points scored per team and the lowest scoring team for that week is ELIMINATED from the competition. All of the players from that team are then placed into that league’s Free Agent pool and those players are able to be picked up by any remaining team in the league during FAAB. One team will be eliminated after Week 1, so In Week 2 there will be 13 teams left. In Week 3 there will be 12 teams left and so on through Week 13. One team is eliminated each week through Week 13 with that team’s entire roster placed into the Free Agent pool each week. One team’s entire roster gets deposited into FAAB each week once it is eliminated from the competition and owners have $1,000 in FAAB money to use from Weeks 1 through 14. There will be no FAAB after Week 14.

Every week is a new week in Guillotine leagues as there is no head-to-head competition and no weekly scoring average. Every team starts a new week with 0 points and just their point total for that week is determined on whether they survive another week or not. After Week 13, the four teams remaining compete in a four-week total points competition with the Top 3 teams after Week 17 earning cash prizes and the fourth team earning $0.

League Prize Details
League prizes are awarded to the top 3 teams in the following format:

1st Place: Most points in Weeks 14-17
2nd Place: 2nd most points in Weeks 14-17
3rd Place: 3rd most points in Weeks 14-17

If two teams tie for any of these spots they will split the prize money; there are no other tie-breakers.
Online Drafts
League Details: Each league will be composed of 14 teams, and each draft will consist of 16 rounds.

Website: All Online Leagues will hold their drafts at https://nfc.shgn.com

Random Draft Spot Selection: The NFFC will set each $100 Guillotine (Wk4) league as they fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Once that league is filled for that draft time, the league will be closed or signups will continue for a second or third league for that date and time.

Time Limit for Draft: If a participant does not make a selection in the allotted time, the draft room will select the top player from that owner's Player Queue and if no player is in the queue then the top available player from the player's default list will be selected. If there is a computer failure, an error made with a selection by an owner or any other type of technical malfunction, the draft moderator can stop the draft at any time and correct the error and then resume the draft. The NFFC reserves the right to allow the draft moderator to roll-back the draft if a technical error occurred, but if the desired player had already been selected before the draft was stopped, that player is no longer available to be drafted.

Extended Drafts: are drafts where the pick timer is greater than or equal to one hour.

Pick Timers Cut in Half for Extended Drafts: To improve draft efficiency, the pick timer will be cut in half for the remainder of extended drafts after specific rounds:

- Football: After Round 21

- Baseball: After Round 30


Overnight Pause for Extended Drafts: Extended drafts are paused overnight from 1 AM ET - 9 AM ET.

Moderated Drafts: If there is a computer failure, an error made with a selection by an owner or any other type of technical malfunction, the draft moderator can stop the draft at any time and correct the error and then resume the draft. The NFFC reserves the right to allow the draft moderator to roll-back the draft if a technical error occurred, but if the desired player had already been selected before the draft was stopped, that player is no longer available to be drafted.

Commissioner Decisions: All decisions made by the NFFC commissioner are final. Tough decisions sometimes must be made about eligibility rules, lineups, etc., and NFFC participants must accept the unbiased ruling of the NFFC commissioner.
Setting Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) Preferences

The NFFC will use Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) preferences for draft preferences in all $100 Guillotine (Wk4) leagues. The Draft Preferences are listed as soon as you click on your team link. There you will see a list of 1 through 14 in order and an "Edit Preferences" link. Edit your list as often as you'd like and just save your preferences each time before the required deadline for this league.

Here's what KDS does: The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 14 BEFORE the leagues are randomly selected. Some owners would rather draft in the middle, if they are selected early in their league; others like to stay near the top and others like to move down to the lower end. KDS allows that if you are fortunate enough. A sample KDS from an owner could look like this:

11
2
7
12
3
5
13
4
8
14
10
9
6
1

If an owner wants the third pick and he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose 3 as his top option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day. NFFC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected, pick the highest available preference for each owner and then announce the draft orders for each league.

Third Round Reversal

The $100 Guillotine (Wk4) will use Third Round Reversal for all drafts. This means in round one the draft order will go team 1 through team 14 and in round 2 the draft order will be team 14 through team 1. Then in round 3 the order will be team 14 through team 1 and then continue in serpentine fashion after that.

Here is how the first 4 rounds of the draft order will go:

  • Round 1: 1-14
  • Round 2: 14-1
  • Round 3: 14-1
  • Round 4: 1-14

Serpentine for the remainder of the draft.

Lineup Submission
All lineups may be submitted on the league web site and must be entered no later than the scheduled kickoff time for the game affected.

All NFFC contests will allow participants to know the results of the, Thursday, September 5th and Friday, Sept. 6th games before locking their Week 1 lineups. Lineups for Week 1 lock at players scheduled start times and all of the Thursday, Sept.5th and Friday Sept. 6th players will lock at 1 pm ET on Sunday, September 9th. Every owner in every NFFC league this year gets a free look at the Thursday Night Game and Friday night game in Brazil.
Position Eligibility
Players will be eligible at one position during the season and designated for that position before the season by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. Should a player move to another primary position before the start of the season, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to give that player a second eligible position. No player will ever lose the eligibility originally designated by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., but a second position could be added if deemed necessary by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. All decisions made by the SportsHub Games Network, Inc. commissioner regarding eligibility are final.
Trades Between Managers
To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed.

Free Agents
Free Agent Bidding Process:
Any player who is not on a team roster within your league is considered a free agent for that league. The free agent system will be a blind bidding process for each individual league. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent dollars for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis with a minimum bid of $1 per player. Teams will not be able to see other team's free agent bids. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team's free agent dollars. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. If a team's free agent dollars go to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's available free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents). Only winning bids and the runner-up bids on each player will be shown after the FAAB bidding period for each NFFC league.

Bidding Time Frame:
The NFFC bidding process will start the week before the NFL Season Openers and run for the first time on Wednesday, September 4th and again on Saturday, September 7th for all leagues that drafted before those dates. FAAB will run every week from Week 1 through Week 14. Bids will be accepted on the league website from Sunday morning through the FAAB deadlines on Wednesday and Saturday. Rosters will be updated shortly after the 10 pm ET deadlines with the results of all successful bids.

Cutting Players:
Owners can cut any NFL player on Saturday during FAAB who wasn't locked in their starting lineup on Thursday. That means players whose teams played on Thursday but were on a reserve roster can be cut on Saturday during FAAB. This will give owners a little more roster flexibility in 2024.

Week 1:
-- Owners can drop ANY player from their team regardless of position (starter, bench).

Week 2 through 14:
-- Owners can drop ANY player who played on Thursday from their team ONLY if the player is on the bench.
-- Owners can pick up a Free Agent in Wednesday's FAAB and if they don't play him on Thursday they can still cut him on Saturday, even if his team did play on Thursday.

Conditional Bids:
Conditional bids can also be offered. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. The first conditional bid will become relevant only if you lose out on the first bid. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Bids do not require conditional bids. Bids may have several sequential conditional bids, but the system always processes them from highest dollar value to lowest dollar value.

Number of Bids Limit:
There is no limit to the number of bids that may be submitted each bidding time frame in which bids are permitted.

Tied Bids:
If there is a tie bid during the season, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by

  • Worst league record in H2H Leagues

  • Lowest total points

  • Highest points against

  • Lowest draft spot


Any tied bids during the first FAAB period will be given to the team with the lowest draft order from Draft Day.

Commissioner Review of Player Drops:
All player drops for free agents are subject to review by the NFFC commissioner and can be revoked if the dropped player is deemed too valuable to be offered to that league's free agent pool, thus damaging the credibility of the overall contest. In the case of a star player being dropped in a league for a valid reason, the NFFC commissioner reserves the right to allow the cut but keep the player out of that league's free agent pool for any length of time, possibly the entire season. All decisions by the NFFC commissioner will be final.

In the event of any such termination by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., all entry fees will be refunded, with the exception of any live event fees (if such live event has already occurred).

At its sole discretion, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to terminate any NFFC game, event or league (including the NFFC Main Event) if there are an insufficient number of teams prior to the scheduled start of the league. In this unlikely event, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will refund all entry fees within 48 hours of cancellation notice and/or provide a new application form with the newly stated prize figures. In this situation, all pre-registered applicants have the right to a full refund or to agree to play for the newly announced prize structure.

Code of Conduct

All participants and co-managers are expected to behave in lawful, respectful and sportsman-like fashion at all live draft events, throughout the NFFC season, and during use of any NFFC website, including, but not limited to comments posted on any NFFC message board. Additionally the NFFC events, games and/or leagues may not be used for any form of gambling. Any conduct or message board post by a participant, co-manager or other person which is deemed by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., in its sole discretion, to be unlawful, or to have the effect of intimidating, harassing, offending or otherwise harming any other participant, co-manager, guest, or NFFC/SportsHub Games Network, Inc. representative, is strictly prohibited. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion to ban any person from current and/or future participation in the NFFC and/or from use of the message boards if such person engages in any such prohibited conduct or is otherwise in violation of any of these Rules. In addition, any person engaging in such conduct forfeits any rights to a refund, as well as any potential rights to a prize award. 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.
