NFL Playoffs Game Rules

General Description

This is a fantasy football game focused on the NFL playoffs. Pools exist to group entries together.

Gameplay

There is only one action required from each participant and it happens before the first playoff game starts. You will submit a lineup that is comprised of one player for each playoff team. There is no draft, so you could end up with the same exact lineup as someone else.

Your entire team plays each week (there's no bench) and your roster doesn't change at all during the playoffs. You get the guys for however many games they play in the playoffs (1-4 games).

Roster Construction

1 roster spot is used for each NFL team in the playoffs. You must have exactly 1 person per team in the NFL playoffs (can't have multiple players from the same team in your lineup). 14 playoff teams, 14 players in your lineup.

This website will not allow you to submit an invalid lineup, so just focus on your strategy more than anything.

The roster is made up of the following: 2 QB, 4 RB, 4 WR, 2 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST.

Once you submit your lineup(s), no further action is required from you except whatever your rituals are to appease the Fantasy Gods.
