Player and Team Selections:

Select one from each group; you must maintain one selection in each of the 16 groups at all times.
This means when you trade a player, it must be for another player in the same group.

Points are awarded to contestants for the performance of their players in games played during the regular NFL season.
This excludes the playoffs and Super Bowl.
Points are awarded in the following categories:

Quarterbacks, Running backs, Receivers, Tight Ends: Points for passing, rushing and receiving will be rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a point. Examples Below:

240 yards passing = 9.6 points
168 yards rushing = 16.8 points
111 yards receiving = 11.1 points
by rounding the the nearest one-tenth we have yet to have a tie in the top 50 places.
