• Trades are allowed through Week 10 of the NFL season. Money can not be part of the trade. All trades will be listed on the webpage and must gain approval of league commissioner.

• Playoff schedule is determined in the same manner as the tiebreaker to enter the playoffs - - best records get higher seeds with ties broken accordingly.
