Victory Points Cash Leagues Structure, Rules and Prizes

The FFPC Victory Points Cash Leagues Draft is a 20 round serpentine draft using FFPC scoring and lineup requirements. Victory Points Cash Leagues are individual leagues and are not part of any contest or tournament. Each league will each be comprised of 12 teams/participants/managers and the regular season will run from Week 1 through Week 14. Each league will be randomly divided into 3 divisions of 4 teams each. Team placement in divisions and league schedule will be randomized when the league fills.

The Victory Points Cash Leagues individual league structure will be as follows: Each team will play in 14 weekly regular season Head to Head match-ups in Weeks 1-14. H2H results and the weekly standings will be determined using the Victory Points system as described in the Victory Points Structure section below. The 6 top seeded teams at the end of the regular season will play in a total points format League Playoffs in NFL Weeks 15, 16 & 17 to determine the League Champion. The 2 top seeded teams at the end of the regular season in each league will each be awarded a Regular Season prize and receive Immunity (aka “Bye” in H2H play) in the Week 15 League Playoff Round. All references to “points”, “total points” or “points total” implies starting lineup points.

All FFPC Victory Points Cash Leagues Drafts will be held Online via the internet at various times and dates in either Live or Slow draft format. All drafts will last for 20 rounds, with each team selecting one player per round. Drafts will be held in a serpentine format: Team 1 through Team 12 in Round 1, Team 12 through Team 1 in Round 2, Team 1 through Team 12 in Round 3, etc. Teams may select any player that is not already drafted by another team. There are no limits or requirements as to the number of players drafted at each position.

Drafts will run up until the start of the NFL Season. Drafts MUST be completed before the start of the NFL Season and draft clocks may be shortened as needed and/or remaining picks may be autodrafted if needed.

For the online ‘live’ drafts, each team participant/manager will have one minute (60 seconds) to make a player selection in each round. If the team manager does not make a selection within the allotted 60 second time frame and does not alert the commissioner to internet or computer problems, this team will be assigned a player according to the draft software’s auto-pick computer. This selection may not be changed. The draft software will then place this team’s draft on auto-pick. The owner may unselect this feature with a simple click of the mouse and continue drafting in the normal manner with a 60 second clock.

FFPC slow drafts are available with a 2 hour or 6 hour clock (timer per pick). There will also be a pause between the hours of 2 AM and 8 AM ET (11 PM and 5 AM PT) to protect teams from missing a pick during nighttime hours. Teams may make picks during the pause when it is their turn. All other Draft room functionality, like adjusting players in Queue and turning on/off Autodraft, will be available during the pause.

A team set to Autodraft will have picks made during the pause when this team is on the clock. Once a pick is made, the next team will be on the clock, but the timer will not run until the draft is un-paused.

Example 1 (Slow draft with a 2 hour clock): A team goes on the clock at 12:30 AM ET, draft clock pauses with 30 minutes remaining at 2 AM ET. The clock will stay paused until 8 AM ET, at which time the clock will continue rolling with the remaining 30 minutes. An auto pick will be made at 8:30 AM ET if the team fails to make a selection.

Example 2 (Slow draft with a 2 hour clock): A team goes on the clock at 12:30 AM ET, the clock pauses with 30 minutes remaining at 2 AM ET. The team makes a selection at 5 AM ET. The following team is now on the clock, with the clock still paused. The clock will start to run at 8 AM ET so this team will have until 10 AM ET to make a selection.

Example 3 (Slow draft with a 2 hour clock): A team goes on the clock at 12:30 AM ET, the clock pauses with 30 minutes remaining at 2 AM ET. The team makes a selection at 5 AM ET. The following team had autodraft functionality on, so this pick is made. The following team is now on the clock, with the clock still paused. The clock will start to run at 8 AM ET so this team will have until 10 AM ET to make a selection.

All examples above apply similarly to slow drafts with a 6 hour clock.

If the team manager does not make a selection within the allotted time frame and does not alert the commissioner to internet or computer problems, this team will be assigned a player according to the team’s Queue (if populated), the team’s rankings, or the draft software’s autodraft settings. The culpable team may subsequently be placed on autodraft for the rest of the draft. The owner may unselect this feature upon returning to the draft room with a simple click of the mouse and may continue drafting in normal manner.

FFPC draft facilitators (aka FFPC Commissioners) oversee most online drafts and have the ability to stop, rewind a draft and change draft picks. Draft facilitators have discretion to rule on any discrepancy involving player selection. This may happen on occasion, as a result of various circumstance which may come up during the draft. All rulings by the FFPC facilitators are final.

Each owner is required to draft a starting lineup of 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 2-FLEX, 1-K, 1-D/ST. If you do not draft a complete starting roster, FFPC commissioners may add a player at their discretion after the draft to ensure a valid roster.

Trading between teams of any kind, including but not limited to, draft picks or players is strictly prohibited.

All teams drafting after NFL Week One opening game on Thursday, will be able to submit and edit their starting lineup after Thursday’s game, including start/bench players which played in Thursday’s and Friday's game. To confirm, all VP Cash league teams that draft after Thursday's season opener will have the choice on whether to start or sit Thursday and Friday players retroactively after they have watched that game. Fantasy stats for Thursday’s and Friday's players will count towards Week One scores if they are placed in the starting lineup. This is for Week One only in leagues that finished drafting after the Thursday season opener.

Team managers may access their teams at www.MyFFPC.com.

FFPC Scoring, Lineup Submission and Position Designation

The starting lineups will consist of: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex Players (RB, WR or TE), 1 PK. 1 Team Defense/Special Team. Starting lineups may be submitted on FFPC league page. The deadline for lineup submission for each player via web site or email is the scheduled start time of the game in which the player is participating. Lineup changes which are submitted by email to support@myffpc.com must be sent and have a time stamp prior to the start time of the game in question. Lineup changes which are made by phone to our 1-888-898-FFPC must be called in no later than 15 minutes prior to kickoff. The following must be provided for a valid email or phone transaction: League number & team name, login name and password, name of player(s) to be placed in the starting lineup, name of player(s) to be removed from the starting lineup.

Each owner is required to draft a starting lineup of 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 2-FLEX, 1-K, 1-D/ST. If you do not draft a Kicker or Defense on your team, FFPC commissioners may add a kicker or defense at their discretion after the draft to ensure a valid roster.

Player position eligibility and designation is determined by FFPC Commissioners during the pre-season and may be changed any time before the start of the NFL season. FFPC participants agree to accept these designations and understand the final position designations may be different from the time their FFPC drafts were conducted.

The following is the scoring system used for every player in FFPC. Scoring will be calculated to the hundredth of a point. Negative yardage will count as a negative score:

Passing

• 0.05 point – 1 yard passing (multiply total passing yards by 0.05. Example: 275 passing yards = 13.75 fantasy points)
• 4 points – Passing TD
• -1 point – Interception thrown
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

Rushing

• 0.1 point – 1 yard rushing (multiply total rushing yards by 0.1. Example 126 rushing yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
• 6 points – Rushing TD
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

Receiving

• 0.1 point – 1 yard receiving (multiply total receiving yards by 0.1. Example 126 receiving yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
• 6 points – Receiving TD
• 1 point – Reception for RB, WR, QB, K
• 1.5 points – Reception for TEs
• -1 point - Fumble Lost
• 2 points – 2-point conversion

Place Kicking

• 1 point – Made PAT
• 3 points – Made FG of 1 – 30 yards plus 0.1 point for every yard thereafter.
  Example: a 45-yard FG would be worth 4.5 points

Team Defense/Special Teams

• 1 point – Every sack
• 2 points - Every blocked punt or field goal
• 2 points – Every team takeaway (interception or fumble recovery)***
• 6 points – Every TD (via interception return, fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked FG return, missed FG return, blocked punt return)***
• 2 points for every return after a blocked/failed extra point or failed two-point try (i.e. on an interception or fumble). [As per new NFL rules for 2015 season]
• 5 points – Every safety
• 12 points – Every shutout **

8 points – Allowing between 1- 6 points **

5 points – Allowing between 7 – 13 points **

3 points – Allowing between 14 - 19 points **

1 points – Allowing between 20 – 23 points **

0 points – Allowing between 24 – 29 points **

-2 points – Allowing 30 or more points **

**Points scored by the opposing team’s defense will NOT count towards defensive points allowed. Only points scored when the defense or special teams is on the field will count towards their defensive points allowed. Extra points or two-point conversions will also NOT count towards defensive points allowed if they are a result of a score by the opposing team's defense.

Touchdowns:

FFPC implements Action scoring for all touchdowns. A TD scored in anyway by an individual player is awarded to that player whether he is on offense, defense or special teams, whether that TD came as a result of a fumble, interception, double turnover***, lateral, special teams or any other football play. To reiterate: If a player scores a TD during a game and he is in your starting roster, you are awarded 6 points. (The exception is when a quarterback throws a passing touchdown. Those are awarded 4 points.) Please note that this scoring is separate and unrelated from any points which Team Defense/Special Teams may also receive for this TD.

No rushing or receiving yards will be awarded for a TD scored on a fumble, interception, kickoff or punt return.

Touchdowns scored by the offensive team as a result of Fake FG, Fake Punt, Blocked FG or Blocked Punt do not count as Defensive/Special Teams scoring.

*** A double-turnover is when the Offense turns the ball over to the opposing Defense, which subsequently turns the ball over back to the Offense. In this case, neither the Offense’s ball recovery nor any subsequent TD scoring on that particular play are scored as Defensive/Special Team scoring for that team. Defensive team fantasy points for touchdowns, fumble recoveries and interceptions are ONLY scored when the defensive unit is on the field.

*** A fumble by an offensive player through the opposing end zone resulting in a touch-back is not considered a team takeaway and will not award 2 fantasy points for the Team Defense/Special Teams.

FFPC Victory Points Cash Leagues Regular Season and Playoff Structure

The 14-week regular season will run from NFL Week 1 through NFL Week 14. Over the course of the regular season, each of the 12 teams in a Victory Points Cash League will play 14 Head-to-Head matchups vs. the rest of the league, once per week. Each team will play against the 3 teams in its Division twice: first 3 matchups in Week 1-3 and then 3 more in Weeks 12-14. The rest of the 8 weekly H2H matchups during Weeks 4-11 will be against non-Division teams. All H2H head matchups will be scored based on a Victory Points system and the league standing will be a result of the amount of Victory Points that each team accumulates.

The Victory Points system works in the following way:

Each weekly H2H Win earns 2 VPs
Each weekly H2H Loss earns 0 VPs

Weekly Victory Point distribution:

Top point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No.2 point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No.3 point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No.4 point scoring team – 2 Victory Points
No.5 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No.6 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No.7 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No.8 point scoring team – 1 Victory Point
No.9 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No.10 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No.11 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points
No.12 point scoring team – 0 Victory Points

Each team will earn 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 VPs each week based on the criteria above. The weekly league standings will be based on the amount of total Victory Points each team has accumulated to date. If there is a tie between teams in weekly points scored in the H2H matchup, the 2 VP points will be split evenly, 1 for each team. If there is a tie between teams in weekly points scored in separate matchups, the following tie breakers will be used to determine who earns the Victory Points:

1. Most total points to date
2. Regular season win/loss record to date
3. Head-to-head record
4. Starting QB points during the week.
5. Coin toss

At the conclusion of Week 14, 6 teams from each Victory Points Cash League will earn a berth in the League Playoffs in Weeks 15, 16 and 17. These 6 teams will be the 3 Division winning teams and the 3 teams with the next highest amount of Victory Points. These 6 teams will play against each other in total points competition to determine League Champion. The winners are based on weekly points scored and there are no H2H matchups or Victory Points used in the League Playoffs. These 6 teams will be seeded 1 through 6 and the seeding will be determined in order as follows:

Seed 1 – Team with the most Victory Points

Seed 2 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points (not necessarily a Division Winner)

Seed 3 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points

Seed 4 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points

Seed 5 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points

Seed 6 – Team with the next highest amount of Victory Points

If there is a tie between teams in Victory Points, the following tie breakers will be used to determine Division winners as well as Playoff seeding:

1. Total Points scored weeks 1-14
2. H2H win/loss record
3. Total starting QB points weeks 1 through week 14
4. Coin toss

Seeds 1 and Seeds 2 will win a regular season award (as listed in the prize section) and earn Immunity in Week 15 of the League Playoffs. This means Seeds 1 and 2 automatically advance to Week 16.

During Week 15, Seeds 3, 4, 5 and 6 will have their score reset to zero, will set their lineups and compete in total points competition. The two teams which score the most points during Week 15 will advance in the League Playoffs. The remaining two teams are eliminated.

During Week 16 and 17, Seeds 1 and 2, as well as the two Seeds which advanced from Week 15, will have their scores reset to zero, will set their lineups and compete in a 2-week total points competition. The team which scores most points during Weeks 16 & 17 will be crowned League Champion. The team which scored 2nd most points will be runner-up. The team which scored 3rd most points will finish 3rd.

In the rare case that there is a tie between teams in any of the League Playoff total points competition, the following tiebreakers will be used in order from 1 to 5 to determine winners:

1. Total Victory Points during the regular season
2. Head-to-head in the regular season
3. Regular season win/loss record (weeks 1-14)
4. Starting QB points in League Playoff game.
5. Coin toss

FFPC Victory Points Cash Leagues Free Agency Acquisitions and Blind Bidding

The following free agent blind bidding process is the only means by which free agents may be acquired in the Victory Points Cash Leagues. There are no other ways to acquire free agents like ‘worst-to-first’ and ‘first-come-first-served’ or any other waiver methods other than blind bidding as described below.

Any active NFL player which is not on a roster in the individual league is considered a free agent for that league and may be available for pick-up. Players dropped by a team are placed into the free agent player pool and will be available for pick-up (see below for exclusions).

The free agent acquisition process is made by way of “blind bidding”. Each team will be given $1000 blind bidding “dollars” (not real money, just bidding dollars) to be used for the entire season. IMPORTANT: once these bidding dollars are used up, you will no longer have the ability to pick up free agents. Bids will remain hidden from the rest of the league until after all the winning bids have been awarded. Free agent players will be awarded to the team with the highest bid for that free agent, and the winning bid amount will be deducted from that team’s free agent dollars. Besides the winning bid, all other bids for that free agent are considered losing bids and are cancelled. At this point, the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered. The team with this winning bid will be awarded the free agent and all losing bids for that free agent will be cancelled. This process will continue until every remaining bid has been considered.

There are two (2) weekly blind bidding processes. The first “Primary” blind bidding process will take place on Wednesday with the second “Supplementary” process taking place on Sunday.

The deadline for bid submission for Wednesday is 10:00 PM ET and Sunday 10:00 AM ET.

All free agent NFL players will be available for the Wednesday bidding process.

NFL players which are dropped during Wednesday’s bidding process will NOT be available for pickups on Sunday (of the same week) and will ONLY become available for next week’s Wednesday bidding process.

Free agent NFL players whose teams played on Thursday will NOT be available for pickups on Sunday (of the same week) and will ONLY become available for next week’s Wednesday bidding process.

There will be TWO “pre-season” free agency processes. The first is scheduled for Wednesday, September 4 at 10 PM ET for any league which draft concludes prior to this Wednesday. The second is scheduled on the following Sunday, September 8 at 10 AM ET for any league which draft concludes prior to this Sunday.

The blind bidding process will end prior to Week 14 for all teams NOT advancing to the League Playoffs. Teams which ARE advancing to the League Playoffs will have the blind bidding process available to them in Weeks 15, 16 and 17 and will end prior to Week 17. Only the 6 teams which make the League Playoffs in each Victory Points Cash League will be allowed to continue making bids in Week 15, 16 and 17. The two teams which are eliminated in Week 15 of the League Playoffs will no longer be allowed to make bids in Weeks 16 & 17. There will be no free agent pickups after the completion of the FFPC regular season for teams which did not make the League Playoffs. Rosters will be updated with the results of all successful bids after 10:00 PM ET, following the completion of the blind bidding process.

Bids will be allowed to be entered from Sunday at 12:00 PM EST until Wednesday 10:00 PM EST for Wednesday’s bidding process. Bid will be allowed to be entered from Wednesday at 11:00 PM EST until Sunday 10:00 AM EST for Sunday's bidding process.

All bids will be processed and the rosters updated with the results of all successful bids after 10:00 PM EST on Wednesday & 10:00AM EST Sunday, following the completion of the blind bidding process.

All team managers are strongly encouraged to place their bids as early in the week as possible.

QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs which are cut beginning Week 11 free agent bidding processes will be REMOVED from the free agent pool and may not be re-acquired by any team for the remainder of the season. This is done to minimize the possibility of potential collusion.

Kickers and Team Defenses cut beginning Week 11 free agent bidding processes WILL REMAIN in the free agent pool and will be available to be re-acquired by teams as long as the free agency bidding processes remain open.

FFPC Commissioners reserve the right to remove a dropped player from the free agent pool or reinstate that player back to its original team, if FFPC Commissioners determine that doing so is the interest of upholding the integrity of the league, or that the dropped player would unfairly impact the outcome of the league, or to correct an error. In this rare instance, all participants will be notified and an explanation will be given.

In the event that there is a tie between bids, the team which is awarded the player will be determined in order by:

1. Worst total points.
2. Worst won/lost record**.
3. Worst previous week score.
4. Loser of head-to-head match-up, if applicable.
5. Virtual coin toss.

**Won/lost record is based on the standings at the time of blind bidding process, which may change from Wednesday’s to Sunday's bidding processes based on stat changes issued by Elias and NFL.

Bids shall be placed individually, or in groups, with conditional bids following the primary bid. The top bid is the primary bid in a bidding group. The bids underneath are conditional bids. If you lose the primary bid, the first conditional bid directly below will be considered next. If you lose the primary and the first conditional bid, then the second conditional bid will be considered, etc. The rest of your bidding groups will be processed in the same manner. A maximum of one player can be won in each bidding group. Bids within a group may have different designated drop players. It’s important to remember when placing multiple free agent bids that you cannot win two players if they both have the same drop player. You may not place different bid amount on the same player. In this case, only the highest dollar bid will be considered.

Dollar amounts will determine the preference of bids. Example: conditional bid #3 cannot be a higher dollar amount than the primary bid or #2 bid.

Teams may submit as many bids as they like. There are no limitations as to the number of players that may be acquired by any one team during the course of the weekly blind bidding processes or during the course of the year, provided teams remain within the maximum number of 20 players allowed on each roster.

When placing a bid, please use separate dollar amounts or the primary and contingency bid software to ensure differentiation between the bidding groups.

Teams will no longer have the ability to acquire or bid on free agents once their initial 1,000 free agent “dollars” have been spent. All bids must be in increments of dollars, with no cents. The minimum bid amount is $1.

Bids may only be accepted on each individual Victory Points Cash Leagues management pages. No bids will be accepted by telephone, email, message boards or any via any other form. In the event that league pages are not able to accept bids, team managers are instructed to go to www.MyFFPC.com, call the customer service number at 1-888-898-3372 or email support@MyFFPC.com for further instructions.

Draft Information

The VP Cash League draft schedule is available here. Drafts are conducted in the ‘live draft’ room found on the league pages. Participants must check in a few days before the draft and familiarize themselves with the draft room. It is strongly recommended that each participants signs in at this time. The draft will be conducted in a serpentine method starting the first round with team 1, proceeding through team 12; the second round will start with team 12 and will proceed through team 1; the third round will begin with team 1 and end with team 12, etc. until all 20 rounds have been completed. This will result in a 20 player roster. There is no requirement for any team to draft a specific number of players at any specific position; however, there are lineup submission requirements. It is the participant’s responsibility to draft the appropriate players in order to fill the necessary positions for the lineup submission requirements. Most Live drafts last approximately 2 ½ hours, however, participants should allow for 3 hours or more. Slow drafts last between one and two weeks.

Each online draft will have a live draft commissioner to watch over the draft and assist as needed. The commissioner will provide his or her contact phone number at the beginning of the draft. Each participant must write the phone number and keep it nearby in case of an emergency. If a participant has an issue or gets disconnected for a few minutes, please call the commissioner. The draft commissioner will act in the fairest way possible to ensure that no one gets passed over due to computer issues. If a participant’s computer is down for an extended period of time and they do not call in to the commissioner, the commissioner will be forced to continue the draft by having a surrogate take over the draft for that team or place that team on auto-pick.

During the Slow drafts, the FFPC commissioner can be contacted at support@MyFFPC.com

Week 1 Lineups

The FFPC suggests that each team set their Week 1 lineup as soon as lineup submission is available. However, teams will be allowed to modify their Week 1 lineup based on normal lineup submission.

All Victory Points Cash League teams must have a starting lineup for Week 1. If a lineup is not submitted prior to the start of Week 1 games, the FFPC VP Commissioner will submit a lineup based strictly on draft order. VP Commissioner may submit these missing lineups retroactively, after the start or the completion of Week 1 games.

FFPC Victory Points Cash League Draft Attendance

Draft attendance is mandatory. Please contact FFPC, LLC. should you expect to be late for the draft. Participants must login to their league and sign into the online draft no later than five minutes prior to the draft start time. In the event that the participant (or co-manager) does not sign in to the online draft, a surrogate drafter may make selections for the team in question or the team may be placed on auto-pick. If a participant signs into the online draft after the draft has started, he will be able to select his next player; however, if any previous surrogate selections have been made, they would still apply. Check your connections in advance of the draft. If you cannot gain access to the draft, you will need to arrange another method to access the draft. The FFPC is not responsible for connection issues, and will not issue a refund.

FFPC, LLC. uses its league management service to handle scheduling, blind bidding, transactions, win-loss records, etc. FFPC uses game statistics provided by SportRadar data feed which will be our basis for scoring. Elias Sports Bureau will often have minor scoring changes during the season. FFPC will automatically have the league management software make stat changes as they occur.

In the event of a server failure or other technical issues, the last lineup that was submitted will be the official lineup for the week. FFPC, LLC. RECOMMENDS THAT PARTICIPANTS MAKE ALL LINEUP CHANGES AS SOON AS LINEUP SUBMISSION IS AVAILABLE EACH WEEK. In cases of extreme emergency, line up changes may be submitted to support@MyFFPC.com with the words LINEUP CHANGE in the subject line, or called into 1-888-898-FFPC, as long as these changes are received prior to the weekly deadline for making such changes. The following must be provided for a valid email or phone transaction: League number & team name, login name and password, name of player(s) to be placed in the starting lineup, name of player(s) to be removed from the starting lineup.

If you feel there is a scoring error, please email support@MyFFPC.com the words STAT APPEAL in the subject line. Kindly detail the issue and we will look into it. We are using Elias Sports Bureau to automatically correct any statistical errors, so an appeal is not needed for an error which would be corrected by Elias. Typically, stat changes are received by Elias and SportsRadar on the Thursday following that particular week. Once the stat changes are received, the FFPC will update the standings and results of all FFPC leagues accordingly. All scoring for the prior week will go FINAL by 6 PM ET on the Friday following that particular week, and at that time all contestants waive their right to any further appeals. It will be the sole discretion of FFPC, LLC. to make any changes not noted by Elias Sports Bureau.
