Void in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland and Vermont and where prohibited by law.

DIVISIONS
When a team is created, as defined below, it will be placed in a Division consisting of no more than ten (10) teams. A Manager can create a custom division and invite up to nine (9) teams to join the NLFFF and compete in the same division. If at the time divisions are determined by the NLFFF that division has less than ten (10) teams, the remaining teams will be randomly assigned. Division assignments will be made by NLFFF shortly before the start of the NFL season.

HOW TO PLAY
Each Manager must select a team roster of twenty one (21) players by September 4, 2007, 1:00 PM EST. NFL players are assigned to specific groups based upon their initial perceived 2007 Fantasy Value - Group A, Group B and Group C. STATS, LLC will rate and group the fantasy players as follows: The top fantasy players will be assigned to Group A, the next tier will be assigned to Group B and the remaining eligible NFL players will be assigned to Group C. Player groupings are final and will not change during the season.

NLFFF team rosters are not unique and teams may have the same players as another team in their Division at the same time. Unlimited changes to the original twenty one (21) man roster may be made at any time up to five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff of the first game of Week One of the NFL season. Once the first official game of the NFL season has started, rosters will lock and free agent limits begin. At that time, each Manager will be allowed a total of seventeen (17) free agent transactions for the season (up to one per week), and will not be able to initiate same until the following Tuesday morning. Managers are not allowed to accumulate free agent transactions. Free agent transactions open every Tuesday at 3pm ET and lock again at the scheduled start of the first NFL game of the week.

ROSTERS
Managers will select / draft players selected from each group. Rosters must consist of one (1) QB, two (2) RB, two (2) WR, one (1) TE and one (1) K from each group. Although player groupings are final and will not change during the season, new players may be added to groups at any point during the course of the contest by NLFFF.

Of the twenty-one (21) players drafted, Managers will be required to submit a starting lineup of seven (7) active players each week. Teams may start fewer than the seven (7) players allowed; however, no team may start more than seven (7) players in any given week. But to compete for weekly prizes, a team must have a complete, seven (7) man team playing that week. The starting lineup must consist of:

One (1) QB
Two (2) RB
Two (2) WR
One (1) TE
One (1) K

In addition, regardless of position, each NLFFF team must start two (2) players from Group A, a minimum of two (2) players from Group B, and a minimum of two (2) players from Group C. The final remaining player position can be selected only from Group B or Group C.

STARTING LINEUP DEADLINE
Each week, players may be moved in or out of the starting lineup up to the scheduled game time of that player's first game of the week. After kickoff of the first scheduled game for a player, that player's status in your lineup cannot be edited again until the following Tuesday at 3pm ET.

SCORING
Each week, the seven (7) active players on each Manager's side will accumulate points based on their performance in real NFL games. The total points the players earn each week are added together to create an overall score.

The scoring system is described below:

Passing
TD = 30 points
Every passing yard = 1 point
2 point conversion = 20 points
Interception = (-20) points

Rushing/Receiving TD = 60 points
Every rushing / receiving yard = 1 point
2 point conversion = 20 points
Every reception = 10 points
Lost fumble = (-10) point

Kicking
FG <30 yards = 20 points
FG 30-39 yards = 30 points
FG 40-49 yards = 40 points
FG 50+ yards = 50 points
PAT = 10 point
Missed Kick (PAT or FG) = (-10) points

All statistics (as reported by STATS, LLC) are final as of Tuesday morning each contest week. Any statistics used to calculate team points in any given week that are subsequently corrected or changed after Tuesday morning by the NFL, will not affect the score of the fantasy team that week.

FREE AGENTS
Each Manager may make a maximum of one (1) free agent moves during each week of the fantasy season. Specifically, a free agent move is defined as the dropping a player from your twenty-one (21) man roster and replacing that player after the start of the season.

Free agents may be added at any time during the week up to the deadline of five (5) minutes prior to the start of the first game of the week and can be used for the upcoming weekend. Once the first game of the week has kicked off, no free agent moves are allowed until the following Tuesday. Free agent limits begin after the completion of week #1 of the NFL season.

Any time a free agent is added to a roster, a player must be released at the same time. Also, the new player selected must be from both the same group AND same position as the player being released.
