"Just play the game" 
Rules of Engagement

Draft:

    In the draft you will pick fifteen players.  Whatever fiften you want (team defense is considered a player), you have 15 roster spots to fill.  You must start a QB, TE, K, Defense, and any combination of 4 WR/RB each week.  As long as there is one of each at least.

    In the draft, the order is on the web page, you will have a five minute time limit to produce your pick.  Then the next team will be on the clock.

    All players are availabel to be picked once.  There are currently 32 players already on teams.  Check the team pages to find out who.

    The expansion teams will have a four round draft to themselves to catch up with the original teams.

Each Week:

    From there you will give the Commissioner a starting roster as stated above.  This must be in before Saturday night of the first regular season game.  Each week you can leave the lineup the same or change it, as long as it is in before midnight of the night before the first game of the week.  Be careful on weeks with Thursday games.

Trades, Free Agency, Injury, etc.:

    You are allowed free trades with any other GM.  The trade will be official as soon as the Commissioner hears from both GM's on it.  The only stipulation is that you maintain your 15 man roster, you CAN NOT exceed fifteen players.  (Defense is counted as a player)  You may trade player for player, player for draft spot, or draft spot for draft spot.  It is up to you.

    You are allowed 3 fre agency picks throughout the season. A free agency pick is defined as a random pick of any player not taken by any other ZFL team.  You can drop any player to pick another up at any time, but only three times for the season. It will be official as soon as the Commisioner hears of it, if two GM's try to pick up the same player then which ever gets word to the Commissioner first gets him.

    Injuries that happen to yuor player will allow you to drop him from your squad.  He must be listed as not being able to play for it to be considered an injury.  If this happens you may drop him from your squad to pick up another player that is not taken by another team.  Any team may pick up your player with a free agency choice whether he is healthy or not.

Scoring Details:

    Quarterbacks get rushing yards counted towards their total.  Any TD/2pt they are part of they get counted for.  Not for handing it to a running back. Pass or run themselves.

    RB do NOT get credit for recieving yards, but do for recieving TD/2pt.

    WR do NOT get credit for rushing yards, but do for rushing TD/2pt.

    Your special teams is your team defense.  If your defense team returns a punt/kick for a TD it goes towards the Defense total.  If you have a WR that returns punts/kicks and he scores he does NOT get points for it.  The defense of the team he is on does.
