Overview:

This league will focus solely on the Liga de FĂștbol Americano Profesional. This is the top American football league being played in Mexico. Participants will choose a city and team name from the Expansion Page on this website. All of the cities are in Mexico and team names are in Spanish.

League Schedule:

The league schedule will consist of a regular season that is 8 games long. There will be assigned home and visitor teams for each game. The home team has a built-in scoring advantage.
New for 2024: Due to shorter LFA schedule, the number of playoff teams in our league has been reduced to 4 teams. The divisional winners will be the top two seeds. The two teams with the next best records, regardless of division, are the next two seeds.

Game Play:

New for 2024:
Each week, participants/coaches will pick the winners of all games played that week in LFA. Each LFA team is assigned a salary cap number based on its place within the LFA standings. Assuming a given week has 4 LFA games, the salary cap will be $24. ($6 x # of games played) A coach must pick 4 winners whose combined salary is $24 or less.
A game's value is determined by each player. A Home Team player will select 1 game to equal 3 points, 1 game to equal 7 points, and 2 games to equal 10 points. A Visitor Team player will select 1 game to equal 3 points, 2 games to equal 7 points each, and 1 game to equal 10 points.

Championship Week:

The championship game will be unique because it will include all 5 games of the LFA playoffs. Therefore, it will take 3 weeks to determine the result of the championship game. The rules for home team and road team are still in effect. The home team will have the built in 3-point advantage. Players will make their picks week-to-week. No salary cap is in place for the championship round, but each player must pick at least 2 underdogs during the tournament. Players will also need to use strategy because he/she will have to decide when to use their 10 and 7 point picks without knowing the exact matchups the LFA will have the following week.
