The following are the rules of the MFFL. This is a working document as it is not unusual for rule amendments or additions to be made during the season. Of course, all rules must be approved by majority vote (7 owners) in order for a rule to be added or amended.

Scoring Method:

Performance
6 pts: rush/rec td; def td
3 pts: FG; pass td
2 pts: safety; rush/rec 2 pt conv
1 pt:  extra pt; 2 pt conv pass; 1 pt per 10 yds rush/rec; 1 pt per 25 yds passing
(note: Fantasy Interactive statistics over-rule any disrepancy over a player's game statistics.)
1998 additions: 1 pt: FGs 50 yds + (total of 4 pts)
2 pts: defensive interception
 

1998 MFFL Rule Amendments

(note: changes have been reflected in the Rules section.)
1. Free agent bidding will be accepted by Wednesday night. Owners interested in acquiring a free-agent must submit a silent bid ($1-$5). In the event that more than one owner bids the same amount, the free-agent will be awarded to the owner with the worse record. The next tie breaker is total points scored. Notifcation(by e-mail) will occur by Thursday. Once it is known a free agent was acquired, an extra day for line-up changes will be given and teams who acquire a free agent will have until Friday to set their line-ups. In the event of a Thursday night game, free agent requests should be in Tuesday night. To ease the communication gap, include said free-agent(if you plan on starting him) in that week's line-up. Please indicate when when turning uour line-up card who the free-agent is to start for.
2. Additions of defensive interception scoring: 2 pts per interception
3. Addition of 1 extra pt for field goals 50 yds +.

1999 MFFL Rule Amendments

1. Weekly lineups are now due by Saturday, midnight. In the event of a Thursday night game, teams with players participating are only required to name starters for that game only. Otherwise, lineups are due Saturday, midnight.

Transactions:

Add/drops and free-agent acquisitions can occur at anytime during the season. Trades will be accepted until Week 8 (Wed. before game day).The deadline for acquiring and starting said free-agent that same week is Wednesday night. There is a $1.00 transaction fee for free-agent pick-ups. A silent bid ($1 - $5) will be used in cases of free-agent transactions. If more than one team tries to acquire a free-agent, the player will awarded to the team with the worse record(please refer to the Amendments section for additional information).

Bye-Week Policy

If you intend to use a player's stats during his bye-week, you must declare it so before the prior weeks game. If you do not intend to use the bye player's stats, just call in or e-mail that week's line-up and notify the commissioner of the change. Otherwise, the bye player will remain active and ean 0 points.

Roster Deadline:

Roster changes must be in the Wednesay night if there is a Thursday night game. Otherwise, they must be in by Friday night (no calls at 11:59 pm, please). Feel free to e-mail me though. Team's roster will stand if there is no contact with the commissioner.

Tie-Breakers:

In the event of a tie between divisional foes vying for playoff consideration, the tie-breaker rules come into effect. The team with the greater number of points will advance. Point total is followed by head-to-head competition and divisional record.
