Pandemic Rulebook

 Pandemic Fantasy Football League Rules

  • If, due to Covid-19, the NFL league does not happen then entry fees will be refunded.

  • For 2020 all fees must be collected before week 3 of the NFL season

    • Payment options will be Paypal, Venmo, or face to face handoff of cold hard cash

  • For all seasons after 2020 Payment must be made 1 week before the draft or we will find a replacement coach.


3 - League will be run through the Sleeper App (on smartphones) or Sleeper.app website.


4 - Playoffs:  6 Teams will make the playoffs

  • 3 division winners automatically advance to the playoffs.

  • Non Division winner with best record (points scored for tiebreaker) gets spot 4

  • Team who scores most points last 4 weeks gets spot 5

  • Team who scored the most all season that didn’t make playoffs gets spot 6


5 - Playoffs are Survival instead of Match-ups

  • NFL Week 14: 6 Playoff teams play.  Top 4 scoring teams advance.

  • NFL Week 15: From Top 4 - Top two scoring teams advance.   From Bottom 2 - Play to determine draft order (5th and 6th spot)

  • NFL Week 16: Top Two teams play for Super Bowl.  Previous two losing teams play for draft order (3rd and 4th position)


6 - Toilet Bowl - Reverse Survival - Best Ball.

  • Teams competing for the Toilet Bowl - If you try to drop your good players to pick up worse ones so that you can get a better draft position you need to realize that the other teams Can and Will pick up your studs which will leave you in a worse position next season.

  • NFL Week 14: 6 Non-Playoff teams play.  Bottom 4 scoring teams advance. Top 2 teams get ranked #7 and #8 (based on score) for final league rankings and next year’s Rookie Draft

  • NFL Week 15: From Bottom 4 - Bottom 2 scoring teams advance.  Top 2 teams get ranked #9 and #10 (based on score) for final league rankings and next year’s Rookie Draft.

  • NFL Week 16: Final teams battle it out to see who is the worst team in the league, receiving the Toilet Bowl Award and the 1st pick in next year's rookie draft.

  • Toilet Bowl Winner (loser) also gets an extra pick in the first round. Pick # 1.13

  • Teams Battling for the Toilet Bowl will receive extra FAAB to start the next season. This is to help teams rebuild for league parity.

  • #12 - 50 FAAB. #11 - 45 FAAB. #10 - 40 FAAB. #9 - 35 FAAB. #8 - 30 FAAB. #7 - 25 FAAB.


7 - Coach of the Year

  • Coach of the year is determined by the largest differential between their starting lineups vs their bench spots.  The theory behind this award is when your starters score more than your bench you are making the right decisions for your matchups, thus being a better coach.

  • $50 prize which is paid up as your entry fee into the next season.
