1. Penalty Procedures
When playing head-to-head, decline all penalties because they disrupt the fun. If your opponent false starts, jump offsides immediately to maintain balance and fairness. We call this "mutual chaos."
2. Approved Disconnect Reasons
3. Ethics Prohibition
Ethics are strictly banned. If you even consider playing fair or respecting your opponent, you'll face an immediate forced loss. We don't tolerate "sportsmanship" around here.
4. Cheese Clause
Referring to anyone’s gameplay as "cheesy" will result in an instant and automatic ban from the league. We encourage innovation in cheese. The cheesier, the better.
5. Positional Freedom
Players can and should play out of position. Got a wide receiver who’s built like a twig? Stick him at tight end! He won’t block, but hey, he might outrun a linebacker or two. Have a lineman with 60 speed? Make him your running back! Your QB just fumbled three times? Put him at safety! We fully endorse this creative approach to team-building.
6. CPU Exploitation Encouraged
Exploiting the CPU with broken plays and repetitive "glitch" routes isn’t just allowed—it’s encouraged. If you’re not winning by using every loophole, you’re doing it wrong.
7. Gimmicks & Shenanigans
Only the most absurd gimmicks will earn respect in this league. Running the same play every down? Great. Using a playbook you found online called "Guaranteed Wins"? Perfect.
8. The Art of Losing
Remember, when you're losing, it's important to disconnect so your opponent doesn't get any statistics recorded. Bonus points if you disconnect at the last possible moment to maximize frustration. On top of that, when you lose, make sure to disown your family and alienate your friends. That way, your shame will be complete and uninterrupted.
9. Late Night Peer Pressure
When your friend gets off at 1AM and you think they're not doing enough to progress the league, it's essential to peer pressure them into staying up. Remind them that sleep is for the dead, and that thier horny wife won't beat the shit out of them in the morning because they have a 93 overall rated running back. If they start mentioning productivity declines at work or less quality time with their kid, let them know its okay because thier team will probably win the natty this year.
