League rules
Fantasy football · 8 teams · 500 credits · squad of 25
Art. 1The league
The league has 8 teams. The season is a round robin home and away, for 14 matchdays in total.
The calendar is drawn before matchday one, in front of everyone or in a verifiable way, and does not change afterwards.
Art. 2The squad
Each team holds a squad of 25 players: 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 8 midfielders and 6 forwards.
Every role must be filled by the end of the auction. A player eligible for more than one role fills a single slot, decided when he is bought.
Art. 3The auction
Each team has 500 credits. The opening bid on any player is 1 credit and every raise must be at least 1 credit.
The auction runs by call: in a fixed order, each participant proposes a name and bidding opens on it. Whoever calls is not obliged to buy.
A player is sold when the auctioneer has called the third count. After the sale the auctioneer states player, price and buying team out loud before opening the next lot.
Art. 4The compulsory reserve
No team may make a bid that would leave it unable to cover its remaining empty slots at 1 credit each.
Example: with 25 slots to fill, a bid is valid only if, after the purchase, the team still holds at least as many credits as it has empty slots. A bid breaking this rule is void even if the auctioneer accepted it.
Art. 5Simultaneous bids
If two participants call the same amount at the same time, the bid the auctioneer states they heard first stands. The auctioneer's decision is final.
Art. 6Bonuses and penalties
The following apply to each player's mark: Goal scored +3; Assist +1; Penalty saved +3; Yellow card −0.5; Red card −1; Penalty missed −3; Own goal −2; Goal conceded by the keeper −1.
A conceded goal counts once per goal. A player without a mark does not count as zero: he is replaced under the line-up article.
Art. 7From points to result
The matchday total is the sum of the eleven scores. The first goal comes at 66 points and one more is added every 6 points after that.
Below 66 points a team scores zero: there are no negative results. The table awards 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a defeat.
Ties in the table are broken, in order, by: head-to-head, goal difference, goals scored, total season points.
Art. 8The line-up
Line-ups are due before the first match of the round kicks off, with eleven starters and a bench in priority order.
Anyone who does not submit keeps the previous round's line-up. A starter without a mark is replaced by the first eligible bench player who has a mark and fits the formation.
If fewer than eleven players with a mark remain after substitutions, the missing places count as zero.
Art. 9The repair auction
A repair auction is held within ten days of the winter transfer window closing. Each team may release and re-buy at most 4 players.
Each team receives 30 extra credits, added to whatever remains from the summer auction.
All released players go into a single pool and are auctioned again. At the end every squad must be complete in every role.
Art. 10A team withdrawing
If a team leaves the league, it is removed from the table and every match already played against it is voided, with the table recalculated.
Art. 11Changing these rules
These rules may be changed only by an absolute majority of teams, and any change takes effect from the matchday after approval.
No change applies to matchdays already played. Anything not covered here is decided by the league organiser, after consulting the other teams.
