1. Our league involves picking games from top indoor football leagues. As of 2025, those leagues are the Indoor Football League, Arena Football 1, and National Arena League. This can change from year-to-year, as the indoor/arena landscape is in constant flux.

2. The number of games picked each week will vary from week-to-week. We will generally have between 10-14 games. As a player, you need to pick all the games.

3. Each team is assigned a point value from 1 to 10. The stronger the team, the less points they are assigned. This rule is set-up to reward players for picking underdogs correctly.

4. If the team you pick wins, you earn the assigned amount of points. If that team loses, you receive 0 points. All points earned for a given week are added up and compared to your weekly opponent to determine if you win/lose/tie. There is no tie-breaker rule currently in effect.

5. The regular season will be 10 weeks long. 12 teams qualify for the playoffs- 6 from each conference. The best 2 divisional winners, from each conference, get a first round bye. The other divisional winners will serve as home teams in the Wildcard Round. The visiting teams will be the next best 2 (non-divisional winning) teams from each conference, even if they are in the same division. During the playoffs, the higher seeded teams will own the home tie-breaker, if needed.

6. If a player fails to make his/her picks before the deadline, his/her team will automatically forfeit that week. A player is allowed only 1 forfeit a season. If a second forfeit happens, that player may be replaced by another player.

7. Tie Breaker Rules (within standings): a) Head-to-Head, if applicable b) Total Points Scored in Season c) Strength of Schedule d) Record vs. winning teams

8. Bonus points for playoff teams is based on record, not seeding. The team with the best record in each conference receives 5 bonus points in each round. The second best gets 4 bonus points. Third best earns 3 bonus points. Fourth best has 2 bonus points. Fifth best nets 1 bonus point. The sixth best receives no points. These bonus points are not utilized in the championship round.
