-- Order of selection is decided randomly in each odd-numbered round.
-- The selection order for each even-numbered round will be the reverse of the selection order for the preceding odd-numbered round.
-- The owner selects a team consisting of QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, Ks and Ds.
-- Once a player has been selected by a team, no other team may select that player.
-- Only NFL players who are not already on a ZFL roster and whose NFL team has not yet begun play for the specified week can be acquired.
-- On the Tuesday following each week of the ZFL season, an owner can acquire one additional player. If two or more ZFL teams attempt to acquire the same NFL player, the player will be sent to the team with the lowest overall standing in the ZFL.
-- On the Wednesday following each week of the ZFL season, an owner can acquire one additional player. If two or more ZFL teams attempt to acquire the same NFL player, the player will be sent to the team that had not yet drafted a player followed by the teams with the lowest overall standing in the ZFL.
-- After Wednesday, a ZFL owner can acquire players as desired so long as no more than two players are acquired in a given week.
-- If an owner wishes to obtain and use a player at a position that is not that same as the position listed for that player on NFL.COM, a vote will be taken amongst the ZFL owners to decide if that player can be played at the requested position.
-- If a team's K or D is unavailable for whatever reason, a substitution will be made by the commisioner. If no backup player is available at the given position the best available player will be acquired and a roster move will be made replacing the existing player on the roster.

-- Only the starting lineup players can score points in that week's games.
-- Each week, each ZFL Owner should send their starting lineups to John W via email before the first NFL game for that week. If you do not submit a roster before the first game of the week, a default starting lineup will be created consisting of the players listed as starters on the supporting ESPN website. If those players are on bye week or do not play in that week's games, the top (non-bye week) player drafted at the particular position will be substituted. Changes can be made to the default lineup, as long as the changes follow the restrictions listed below.
Backup players may be listed for each position. If the starter does NOT play, the statistics for the backup player will be used. If any player on the starting roster does not play in that week's game, a player will be substituted from the list of backups. If no backup list was sent, the top player available at that position from that ZFL team's roster will be used. If no replacement is available, a score of zero will be assigned for that particular position for that week.
After the NFL Games for the week in question have begun, changes can be made
from Player 1 to Player 2 ONLY if Player 1 and Player 2 are on NFL teams that have
not yet played (or started playing) that week.
This means you:
i.) CANNOT
change from a player who was injured DURING a game that week.
ii.) CANNOT
change from a player who had a poor game that week.
iii.) CANNOT change to
a player who had a good game that week.
iv.) CANNOT change to/from a player
once a game featuring that player's NFL team has started.
So, if on Friday, you find out your QB won't be starting in the upcoming game, you can change to another QB who was not yet played. Or, If your RB is injured in practice and is questionable to start, you can make a change to another RB who has not yet played that week. Please do not make unnecessary changes.
If a team's K or D is unavailable for whatever reason, a substitution will be made by the commisioner. If no backup player is available at the given position the best available player will be acquired and a roster move will be made replacing the existing player on the roster.
Mail any lineup changes to John W.
Commisioner Z and John W will make final decisions on whether or not a change is allowed.
-- 5 teams per Conference
-- 13 regular season games per ZFL team.
-- Each team plays the other teams in their own Conference twice.
-- Each team plays the teams in the other Conference once.
Note: If 3 or more teams are involved in a tie, the following rules will be used to determine the standings. Once a team has been eliminated from those involved in the tie, the standings amongst the remaining teams will be resolved starting at step 1.
