League Rules

 1. You must have Madden 2002 version 2.2.1 to play in the league. Also please be sure to read in the manual on how online franchise work. It will give you some basic answers.

2.  If you cheat your kicked out!!

3. Make sure to Get your games in or they will be simulated. If you ignore someone you will automatically loose for that week. We will advance the server every Sunday. So  a week should be enough  time for you to get your games in. If all games are completed  anytime before Sunday it will be advanced. You will get notice of which day we will advance. If you are out of town or leaving to go out of town let us know. If you do not let us know it will result in a loss.

4. Free Agent Rule

5. You can Trade all you want. We encourage trade offers when the oportunity a rises.  
 

6. You can on-side kick if you are not winning.
 
7. Do not go for on fourth down everytime. Try to play the game as if it is a True NFL Game. Only you go for it on fourth down when you truly think it is necessary and you must pause game and tell him ur going for it.

9. Hurry Up Offense is to only be used in two cases:
A. In last 2 minutes of a half.
B. Or if you need "CHANGE THE FLOW OF THE GAME."

10. No player substitutions in position they dont normally play. An example, HB playing WR and so forth.

11. DO NOT drop your QB back more than 10 yards and 7 yards in shotgun. You can go left or right all you want. IF ANYONE does this intentionally your starting QB will be benched for 1 game. 2 games on second offense. 3 offense and your kick out of the league.

12. While on Defense do not call the same play every down either mix up your play calling also.

13. Please remember to mix it up on offense too. If the runs not working implement more of the passing game but don't rely on just one. If its late in the game or if your trailing by a huge margin then you can pass more or vice versa.

14. You can move your DL only with the shift button. No piling up of linemen unless its a goaline situation.. You can move your LB either to come on the blitz only, if you do this you must blitz with them. You however can move them back into pass coverage but beware you may break your play and leave a receiver wide open.  If you violate these rules then action taken will depend on the outcome of the game. Also remember to not blitz every play. Always mixup your defensive plays.You may call the same formation, but do not keep calling the same play.

15. If you feel someone is breaking the rules finish the game first. Save whatever proof you can and talk to the commissioner as soon as possible.

16. Mainly, just use common sense. Be fair and no matter win or lose try to enjoy yourself and play like the real nfl.

PEOPLE NOT OBEYING RULES WILL BE KICK OUT OF THE LEAGUE.
