League Details
16 teams split into 4 Divisions. Realignment of divisions in subsequent years. Refer to Rules Tab for more details.
​
$250 buy in with $125 deposit/kitty ($125 is a deposit towards 2nd year entry fee). All funds including deposit are kept at leaguesafe.com. The deadline for payments is March 1st every year. The idea of the 5 year investment is that we want owners to have at least a four year horizon and commitment to their team. In year 5, the prize pool will be much larger, which gives everyone a goal of when to have their team “peak” and makes a challenging Dynasty objective. After year 5, the hope is that there is enough “investment” people have made in the league that they want to continue on for many years.

Payout Structure

Year 1-4, will be withheld to create a "Super Pool" in year 5 (2024), at which point, the prize pool will be more than double the previous year's 1-4 payouts. This creates a strong incentive for teams to build for now and for the future. It also creates another incentive for people to stay for full 5 years as they are forgoing paid money not to mention the chance at the Super Pool. This concept makes attracting new owners to the league much easier for abandoned teams. The 20% prize pool concept is ongoing meaning that in Years 6-9, 20% is held again for the Year 10 Super Pool and so on.
​
Regular Season Schedule:
The league regular season will run from weeks 1-14, teams playing each other team in their division twice while filling in the rest of the schedule with randomly selected teams via league software. Each team will play a doubleheader per season if the NFL scheduling of bye weeks allows. The doubleheaders and the division rival games are intended to keep the playoff picture undecided as long as possible & to maintain maximum league interest in all games played.
If the NFL regular season is ever extended through a new collective bargaining agreement, additional regular weeks shall be added such that the last playoff game shall end 1 week before the end of the regular NFL season.
Playoff Schedule:
Weeks, 15-17. 6 teams based on overall win loss record with tie breaking methods detailed on the league website (note that Division winners are not guaranteed a spot in the playoffs). Top 2 seeds are given 1st round bye. Week 17 League Championship Game.
