2 points for every team takeaway (interception or fumble recovery)**
6 points for every TD (via interception return, fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked FG return, missed FG return, blocked punt return)*
2 points for every safety
5 points for every shutout ***
2 points for allowing between 1- 5 points ***
1 point for allowing between 6 – 10 points ***

* TDs scored on "fake" FGs or "fake" punts do NOT count as Defense/Special Teams scoring. TDs scored by the offensive team after a blocked FG or blocked punt do NOT count as a Defense/Special teams score. TDs scored on a double-turnover only count for the individual player who scored the TD, not for the team.

** A double turnover is considered points for the recovering team's defense and ST. Thus, an example, team A's offense fumbles and team B's defense recovers, but then fumbles the ball back to team A's offense. In that scenario team A's defense and special teams (along with team B's defense and ST) are both awarded a fumble recovery.

*** Any and all points scored against a team are considered points scored against the special teams and defense. Thus, as an example, a turnover by the offense that is returned for a TD is considered as points scored against the special teams and defense.

6. Point Calculations: Team scoring will be carried out to the hundredth.

7. Free Agents: Any player who is not on a team roster within your league is considered a free agent for that league. FullTime Fantasy Sports may, in rare instances, remove a free agent who has been dropped by a FFWC team if in the judgment of FullTime Fantasy Sports Group the dropped player would unfairly impact the outcome of the FFWC or if there is suspected collusion.

8. Free Agent Acquisitions/Blind Bidding: The free agent system will be a "conditional blind bidding" process every Wednesday and Sunday through week 14 of the NFL season. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent "dollars" for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis. No team will be informed of any other team's free agent bids until after the winning bids have been awarded. The team with the highest valid bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team's free agent dollars. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. If a team's free agent dollars go to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents). The free agent bidding system is the only means by which free agents may be acquired.

a. Auction Bidding vs. Blind Bidding: The FFWC conditional blind bidding process is not an auction bidding process. Though you may bid on the same player in multiple bid groups, if you are awarded that player, you will be awarded him for the highest valid bid.

b. Available players: The only players that are available to be picked up are those that are in the league management software. All players must wait until such time that the player is available in the software before acquiring them in FAAB.

c. Sunday Waivers: Players dropped on Wednesday waivers are not available for acquisition on Sunday. Players who play in the Thursday night games, are available to drop/add on Sunday nights, however players that are in your starting lineup that play on Thursday are NOT eligible to be dropped on Sunday. The software does allow this currently, so reversals will occur through the Commissioner.

d. Conditional Bidding: You are only awarded one player per bid group. During the Waiver processing, Player bids are reviewed from the Top / Down inside of each group, not by order of bid amount, so make sure your bids are prioritized top to bottom in each group in the order you wish to receive them. Once you are awarded a player from a bid group, all other bids in the group are cancelled. If another owner outbids you on a player, that player is removed from your bid group and the next listed player in your group is your next available player.

e. Issues/Problems: If you have an issue with waivers, you can email support@fftoolbox.com Fulltime Fantasy Sports will review each issue on a case by case basis.

9. Bidding Time Frame: The bidding process starts before the start of Week 1 and ends prior to Week 14 on Sunday, December 10, 2023 at 10:00am ET. Bids will be accepted on the league web site from Sunday at 1 pm ET until Wednesday at 10:59 pm ET week one and again from Wednesday night 11:15pm ET to Sunday at 10:00am EST each week. If you are submitting by phone, you must submit by 8:45 ET on Wednesday for Wed waivers and submit your bids by 9:45 am ET on Sunday for sunday waivers. Rosters will be updated by 11:05 pm ET on Wednesday and 10:05am ET Sunday mornings with the results of all successful bids. There will be no free agent pickups after the completion of the FFWC regular season. Any player dropped on Wednesday cannot be picked up as a Free agent until the following week, that player is not eligible for the same weeks Sunday waiver process.

10. Tied Bids: If there is a tie, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by:

1. Worst total points.
2. Worst won/lost record.
3. Worst previous week score.
4. Worst QB points total to date.
5. Coin toss.

11. Available Players: Teams may acquire players not on any roster within their league, with one exception. Players cut during Week 11 free agent bidding (November 12 and 14, 2023) and Week 12 free agent bidding (November 19 and 20, 2023) may not be re-acquired by any team. This is done to minimize potential collusion. On occasion, the FFWC commissioners may remove a dropped player from the free agent pool if the commissioners think it is in the interest of upholding the integrity of the league or the event.

12. Trades between managers: To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed.

13. League Structure: Leagues will be comprised of 12 teams each.

14. Fantasy Football World Championships League Playoff Berths: After week 14, the top 2 teams advance to the league playoffs and a total points shootout in weeks (14-16).

--Team #1: Team with the best head-to-head record (tie breaker is total points).
--Team #2: Team with most total points.

If the team with the best record is ALSO the team with the most total points, this team is declared The Dominator and Automatic League Champion.

15. Fantasy Football World Championship Round:

After week 14, the top 4 teams in each league also receive a ticket to the Championship Round in this order:

--Team #1: Team with the best head-to-head record (tie breaker is total points).
--Team #2: Team with most total points other than Team #1.
--Team #3: Team with best head-to-head record (tie breaker is total points) other than Teams 1 & 2.
--Team #4: Team with the most total points other than Teams 1, 2 and 3.
