Mid Season League Rules (2023)
General Rules:
This league will be a head to head and total points competition with 4 teams advancing to the playoffs. The 4 teams advancing to the playoffs will compete in overall scoring for prize money. There will be a total of 8 owners. Owners will compete head to head each week according to the league schedule, which will be chosen randomly by the RTsports website. The draft will be 17 rounds and the even rounds will be in reverse order. The draft will be held online at www.rtsports.com .
Draft Order: TBD
Roster: 17 total
9 Starters
QB 1
RB 2
WR 2
TE 1
K 1
D/ST 1
Flex 1 (RB, WR or TE)
* There are no minimum or maximum at any position
Scoring:
Offensive scoring will be as follows:
| Passing TD | 4 pts |
| Rushing TD | 6 pts |
| Receiving TD | 6 pts |
| 20 yards Passing | 1 pt |
| 10 yards Rushing | 1 pt |
| 10 yards Receiving | 1 pt |

| Interception | -2pts |
1 POINT PER RECEPTION
Field Goals are a minimum of 3 points with .1 point for each yard over 30 yards. Extra points are 1 point each.
Defensive and special team scoring will be as follows:
| Any Defensive or Special Team TD | 6 pts | ||
| Defensive Shutout | 10 pts | ||
| Defense Allows 2-10 points | 5 pts | ||
| Defense Allows 11-17 points | 3 pts | ||
| Defense Allows 18-24 points | 0 pts | ||
| Defense Allows 25-31 points | -3 pts | ||
| Defense Allows 32+ points | -5 pts | ||
| Interception | 2 pts | ||
| Fumble Recovery | 1 pt | ||
| Sack | 1 pt | ||
| Safety | 2 pts |
The scoring will be carried out to a tenth of a point so for instance 109 yards by a RB will be 10.9 points. This will apply to field goals as well.
League Fees:
Each owner will contribute a total of $750 which is due at the end of the season, minus what they have won throughout the season. Free agent pickups will be $1 each and trades will be $1 to each owner, all of which will be added to the pot and split between the total points and playoff winners.
Waiver Wire Procedure:
Each team will have a bankroll of $500 to spend on waiver wire pickups. You will need to have your bids into the website by 7 pm Wednesdays. The maximum bid is $500 and minimum is $0 so that even if you run out of money you can still pick up players. The tiebreaker for bidding is lowest in total point standings. Any player dropped on Wednesday nights will be on hold for 24 hours so they will be available about 1 hour prior to the start of the Thursday night games. Unrestricted free agents can be picked up starting at 9 am on Thursday.
Free agents can be added to a team up until game time of the game that the player is playing in. As soon as the game starts for a particular player, that player is locked until waiver wire bidding process starts the following week.
Playoff teams are unable to pick up or drop any players during week 17 and 18. Teams competing for the wildcard can make transactions as normal. This is to keep key players dropped by playoff teams available for wildcard or vice versa.
If an owner tries to block other owners from adding a player by adding and then subsequently dropping all or several other players at that position before the kickoff on Sunday, the commissioner will reverse all of the transactions and the owner will still be charged the normal transaction fees for those pickups.
Trades:
The trade deadline for the season is before the start of the 14th week. All trades must be completed 24 hours prior to the game starting involving any players in that trade. The teams involved in the trade must notify the commissioner verbally at least 24 hours prior to the game starting so that the commissioner can notify the league for review purposes. Each team not involved with the trade will be allowed to make their vote on the trade, and the majority rules. If there is a tie, then the commissioner makes the final decision. If the trade involves the commissioner, then the majority vote rules.
Victory Point Scoring System:
Each week you will receive either 2 points for a win or 0 points for a loss in your head to head matchups. There will be no ties in head to head matchups. Totals points in bench scoring will be the first tie breaker, total starting QB points the second tie breaker and then a coin toss as the final tie breaker for weekly wins and losses. In addition to your points for the head to head matchup, the top 2 teams get 2 victory points, middle 4 teams get 1 victory point and the bottom 2 teams get 0 victory points. Therefore you will have the chance to get between 0 and 4 points each week.
Playoffs:
The 3 teams with the highest victory point total after week 16 will advance to the playoffs. The tiebreaker for victory points will be the total overall points first, head to head record second, and then the total QB points for the year and if there is still a tie a coin flip will be used. The tiebreaker for wildcard weeks 17 & 18 will be bench points first and head to head record second and then a coin flip. There is no head to head competition in the playoffs, only overall points count. At the conclusion of the regular season, each playoff team will be allowed to keep up to 4 players and the rest will go into the free agency pool. The #1 seed will draft 1st in the 1st round and the 2nd round will be in reverse order, until all owners have filled their rosters. The roster will remain at 17 players for the playoffs with the same minimum and maximum requirements.
Wildcard Week 17 – The 5 teams that didn’t automatically make the playoffs will play week 17 and the 2 highest scoring teams will move on to week 18
Wildcard Week 18 – The highest scoring team in week 18 will be the 4th seed wildcard playoff team.
#1 seed team will be able to pick their playoff draft spot starting with 1st seed and going down. #2 The playoff teams will start with a points advantage based on regular season finish. If there is a tie for victory points then total season points will be the tiebreaker.
1st place victory point will start with 40 points
2nd place victory points will start with 30 points
3rd place victory points will start with 20 points
wildcard team will start with zero points.
Prize Money:
There will be $6,000 of prize money to win, plus $1 for each free agent pickup/trade that is made. The only league expense will be the cost of the website which is $100 from RTsports. This $100 will be deducted proportionately from the season total points and playoff winners. $2,280 will be paid out weekly to the teams with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd highest starter point totals in weeks 9-16 (1st-$150, 2nd-$90, 3rd-$45). There will be no cash prize for week 17 or 18. These amounts will be credited towards your $750 that is due at the end of the year. If there is a tie in weekly starter point totals, then the highest bench points will determine the winner and if there is still a tie, the person with the most overall points would win. The remaining $3720 will be split between the 1st-3rd place winners of both the season point total and playoff point total as shown below. Week 17&18 will not count towards the season point totals. The pay out will be as follows:
| Season Point Total | 1st $860 (50%) | 2nd $602 (35%) | 3rd $258 (15%) | |
| Playoff Point Total | 1st $1,000 | 2nd $700 | 3rd $300 | 4th $0 |
If there is a tie in weekly, season or playoff points, the winner will be determined by the head to head record of the person they are tied with, and then by the overall record for the season, and then by a coin toss.
