Introducing the Cult of Manliness Dynasty League PART IV

If you’re interested, please reach out to me, Jason at Juno3127@yahoo.com

I’ve been playing fantasy football since 1998 and FIVE years ago, I finally decided to create and manage MY OWN Dynasty Leagues. It is truly a labor of love.

This will be the FOURTH (and final) version of this league and the first three have been very successful, so far.

I can provide several references for those who are interested in hearing more. I think some of my current owners have left reviews under my name (Jason Howard).

My goal (Plain and Simple) is for this to become your favorite league.

Attached is the LEAGUE CONSTITUTION  is available upon request, but here are the important highlights that make this league unique…

This is a 14-Team PPR Superflex Dynasty League including IDPs (Individual Defensive Players) There will be NINE offensive players and 4-5 IDPs starting every week The bulk of your roster will carry over from year to year with up to TEN changes made to rosters in between seasons.

The website we are currently using is MyFantasyLeague.com, but MAY consider switching to SLEEPER in 2023. The yearly entry fee will be $250.00 which includes the MFL League Manager Site fee divided 14 ways. There will be a yearly prize for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th place which will be determined by the total amount of money accumulated throughout the season from entry fees and transaction fees. All disputes between owners will be decided by a rotating THREE-OWNER TRIBUNAL, which will include myself and two other team managers that will be randomly selected every season. Myself, and these two other owners will also serve to make all decisions on the validity of any trades that occur. If a trade is made between one or two of the owners within the tribunal, a secondary member or members of the league (Pre-determined at the beginning of the season) will serve to help determine if the trade is fair or not. This tribunal system is reflective of a checks and balances system designed to ensure that the league manager (who will always be part of the yearly tribunal) can always be vetoed if the other two members disagree with his decision. This reduces the risk of any collusion when it comes to conflict resolution. Any major (or minor) rule changes will ALWAYS be made in the OFF-SEASON. Unless the rule is crucial to maintain the fairness and integrity of the league or there was an obvious error made in the initial scoring system setup, there will be no rule changes during the football season. There will be THREE IR spots on each roster, but ONLY for players who are actually on Injured reserve (Not “OUT” or “Questionable” or “Suspended” etc).

In this Superflex format, each roster will contain 13 starters and 13 bench spots, THREE optional IR spots AND THREE TAXI-SQUAD spots for ROOKIES and 2nd year players ONLY with the starting lineup containing…

(Minimum) 1- QB 2-RBs 2-WRs 1-TE 1-FLEX (RB, WR or TE) 1-SUPERFLEX (any position) 1-Kicker 1-Defensive Lineman 1-Linebacker 1-Defensive Back 1- IDP FLEX The initial draft will be an AUCTION draft with each team beginning with a $225 budget. This initial draft will include all of the 2022 rookies. There will not be an auction draft for any future seasons. Instead, there will be a 10-round snake draft for ROOKIES and FREE AGENT veterans that were released at the end of the previous season. These will be SLOW drafts that will take place in the early Spring, shortly after the NFL draft takes place. A SLOW DRAFT will be done via MYFantasyLeague. Owners will have 24-hours to make each pick.

The bottom SEVEN teams in the standings at the end of the regular season will compete for the three-round “Toilet Bowl” in which the teams will vie for the first overall pick in the rookie draft for the following season. This will be for the first round ONLY. This team will have their normal spot in the draft for rounds 2-14. The draft order for the Rookie and Veteran drafts will be determined by the AVERAGE POINT TOTALS of the previous season for all the games played by that team, which could be anywhere between 15-17 games. This is designed specifically to reduce the temptation (and eliminates the possibility for) tanking. Tanking is strictly prohibited. Draft picks can be traded or packaged in a trade during the season or during the off-season, before or after the draft order has been determined. Any picks exchanged can only be for the following season or the one thereafter. Transaction Fees are charged at $1 per transaction/per player. A Transaction consists of Trades, Free Agent/Waiver pick-ups only. Dropping players without adding a player is not a chargeable transaction. Transaction Fees are due on or before the Championship game to ensure proper payouts as soon as the season ends. This league will use a FREE AGENT ACQUISITION BUDGET system (FAAB) for weekly waivers, where each owner will be allotted $200 of FAAB money to spend on a weekly auctions for free agents. The highest bidder will be rewarded the player. If two owners bid the same amount of money for the same player, the team with the lowest total amount of points scored so far will be awarded the player. Leftover draft budget money will be added to the FAAB budget pool and any FAAB money not used at the end of the season will ROLLOVER into the follow season’s FAAB budget.

Initial FAAB waivers will run on Wednesday nights. Waivers will also run on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, as well.

There will be a weekly prize of $10.00 awarded to the owner of the team who scores the most points for the week. This will be added to their final prize money at the end of the season. The TRADE DEADLINE will occur the Wednesday AFTER THANKSGIVING. Rosters are LOCKED once a team is eliminated from the playoffs and will be unlocked once the fantasy season in completed to allow for trades in the off-season, but not for adding free agents. At the end of each season until the Spring Draft, each owner must release up to TEN players on their active roster based on how many draft picks they intend to use during the Spring Draft and keep the remaining players on their roster. These are FREE drops, meaning no transaction fees will apply. The amount of players that a team releases to free agency determines how many rookie and veteran draft picks they can use in the following off-season. If an owner does not release TEN players, they will only be able to use the draft picks in the Spring Draft that they released off their roster. For example, an owner who releases SEVEN players off his roster at the end of a season can only use SEVEN draft picks during the draft.  Owners may still trade those remaining picks, otherwise, those picks will simply be PASSED.

Roster limits will include: QB-3? RB-7? WR-7? TE-3? K-2? DE-3? LB-4? DB-3

1st- $1,500.00+Trophy (Purchased by Commissioner) and transaction fees forgiven
