The UNFantasy Football League Playbook is the official rule book of the league.

It is encouraged to refer to this playbook throughout the year.

​

Please contact the league office at commish@unfan.xyz with any questions.

  • Welcome to the UNFantasy Football League!

    ​​

    • Inspired by the hilarious Parody Tease Football Collection, you are invited to play along this season and be rewarded when your teams SUCK!
       

    • All the reasons you typically yell at your TV during a game are now reasons to cheer!
       

    • Overview of the UNFantasy Football League:

      • UNFantasy focuses on TEAM scoring categories rather than individual players.​

      • Franchises who participate are members of the league forever...and the historical data is stored within their unique Owner's Pass.

      • Owner's can join at any point throughout the season and still be competitive in the overall standings.

      • Playing cards act as the team's roster and are used to set the most UNoptimal weekly lineup.

      • Weekly awards are crowned along with Annual awards.

      • Weekly recap emails and trash talking podcast to discuss the league results and actual games.
         

    • The first step is to secure your Franchise in the league with an Owner's Pass!

  • The UNFantasy Owner's Pass is the official ticket into the league.

    All franchises must have an Owner's Pass in order to play.

    ​

    • After securing a spot in the league with the purchase of an Owner's Pass, every FRANCHISE has access to their own Front Office portal.
       

    • The Front Office is where Owners can view the details of their franchise, see current and past rosters, set weekly lineups, and view weekly stats.​​
       

    • The information in the Front Office pages are updated weekly as the results are finalized.

    • Each lineup contains 5 playing cards (1 per scoring category) and are scored based on the Parody Logo Team's weekly results. *NOTE: All stats are pulled from the official league site.
       

      • OFFENSE:​

        • +10 points for each turnover committed (interception thrown or fumble lost)

        • -0.1 point for each point scored by the team

          • It does not matter how the points are scored, therefore defensive & special team points count toward this offensive scoring category.​
             

      • DEFENSE:

        • +0.5 points for each point given up

          • Similar to the offensive scoring category, it does not matter how the points are scored, therefore defensive & special team points count toward this defensive scoring category.​ (ie. A Pick-6, safety or a Kick Return for a score will count towards this category)

        • -2 points for each takeaway (Interception or Fumble Recovery)
           

      • SPECIAL TEAMS:

        • +5 points for each punt kicked​

        • +3 points for each FG missed​​

        • -1 point for each XP made
           

      • PENALTIES:

        • +0.2 points per penalty yard (ie. 5yd penalty = 1 point)​

        • +1 point for each penalty infraction

          • In order to count in the scoring, the opposing team must ACCEPT the penalty
            ​

      • WIN / LOSS:

        • +25 points for a loss​

        • -5 points for a win

        • 0 points if the game ends in a tie

           

    • Points for each scoring category are combined and the result is the Team's Weekly Score.
       

    • Points for each week are combined and rank each Team in the overall division standings.
       

    • Franchises are able to join at any point throughout the season.

      • The Starter Pack playing cards will be retroactively tallied to that point of the season.​

        • ie. If a team joins in week 4, the points earned in weeks 1-3 from Starter Pack cards ​will be added to the franchise season totals.
           

    • Bye Week Teams will be awarded zero points if left in the starting lineups.

    • By default, every franchise has a Starting Lineup.

      • These are the cards given in the Starter Pack once joining the league.​
         

    • Throughout the season, owners can win, earn, trade or purchase packs of cards to add to their team roster.​
       

    • Each week, owner's can set their optimal weekly lineup based on the playing cards on their roster and the weekly football matchups.
       

    • The owner's most recent lineup submission acts as the default lineup until it is changed by the owner.
       

    • Lineups lock in 1-hour prior to the playing card logo's kickoff.

      • ie. If ATL is playing a 1pm EST game, then those playing cards lock at 12pm EST and cannot be added or removed from an Owner's starting lineup.
         

    • Unless otherwise specified by the commissioner, there is only ONE playing card eligible to be played per scoring category.
       

    • Lineups are set on each Franchise's Front Office page and verifiable on the LINEUPS page.

      • Front Office pages contain a Team's official roster of available playing cards.​
         

    • WILD Cards may be played in any scoring category and are designated by the 🃏 symbol in the scoring category drop-down menu.

    • Free Agency is updated each Tuesday.
       

    • Playing card packs will be opened and deposited into the FREE AGENCY POOL (available on the PLAYING CARDS page).
