Hi all,
This page will not be fully functional for a couple of more months while the rulebook continues to remain 'under construction'. Let's all hope to avoid a Big Dig situation...
Below, each line starting with 'Section...' should be an active link to that portion of the rulebook. Sections one through three should all be active links by the end of this week (May 1 - May 7). The other sections will get filled in based on the rough outline over the next several weeks.
As always, fire ideas or comments my way.

B. Communication of roster decisions
Owners may fill those above positions in any way that they wish.
B. Communication of roster decisions
Owners can declare a starting lineup in one of
two ways. First, the owner
can use the features supported by the host website to make adjustments to the starting lineup.
Second, the owner can communicate directly with the opponent. It is recommended that the owner communicate in a form that leaves a time stamped record, such as a text message or email. In the event of such communication, the commissioner should be notified so that the required lineup adjustments can be made on the host site.
C. Starting lineup submitting deadline

In the event of such communication, the commissioner should be notified so that the required lineup adjustments can be made on the host site.
C. Starting lineup submitting deadline
The deadline to include any player in a starting
lineup is kickoff of that player's
game. Once a player's game begins, that player cannot be removed from the starting lineup. In addition, any player whose NFL team has begun play cannot be added to the starting lineup.
D. Exceptions
D. Exceptions
There are two notable 'exceptions' to the deadline
described in Section 4.C above.
The first involves the roster position for a given player. Although players must be assigned to a specific starting linuep slot on the host website, any player whose game has already started can be moved within a starting lineup to fill a different position for which he is eligible.
The second exception involves inactive players, including those who are officially declared 'healthy scratches' by their team on game day, are on IR, or are on a bye week. Inactive players are never considered 'submitted' to a starting lineup, even if their team has kicked off for that week and the player's roster position is 'locked' by the host website, because their inactive status eliminates the possibility of their participation in the game.
Therefore, any player listed on the host website as being submitted to a starting lineup can be removed and replaced with any player whose NFL team has not yet kicked off in their game for that week. Decisions to make such changes should be communicated in the manner described in Section 4.B.

E. Conditional replacement rule
NFFL teams are permitted to announce, in advance, their preferences for the replacement of players who may be declared inactive by their NFL teams in a 'game time' decision. The purpose of the rule is to allow NFFL teams to maintain fully competitive lineups without forcing the owner to remain on stand-by while an NFL team waits to finalize a decision.
Therefore, an inactive player can only be replaced in a manner consistent with Section 4.C above. That is, the replacement player cannot be any player whose NFL team would have already kicked off by the time the original starting player is declared inactive.
The commissioner reserves the right to step in and make an exception to this rule if unforeseen circumstances alter the kickoff time of a given NFL game.

NFFL Rulebook: Section III: Scoring
Section III- Scoring
A. Scoring Criteria
NFFL players score points in the following ways:
*6 points for a touchdown scored
*4 points for a touchdown pass
*1 point for every 25 passing yards
*1 point for every 10 rushing yards
*1 point for every 10 receiving yards
*2 points for every two-point conversion scored
*1 point for every two-point conversion pass
B. Scoring Philosophy
The NFFL does not allow any individual player to post a negative score. The league recognizes the apparent contradiction of including games where a player posted negative yardage as part of the keeper value calculation yet not allowing those same players to score 'less' than zero points in a given week. Scoring calculated in this way simply reinforces the emphasis placed on avoiding negative weekly scores ahead of other considerations.
In the interest of maintaining whole-number (integer) scores, the NFFL does not recognize decimal point scoring.
Scoring is meant to reflect what happened in actual NFL games. Therefore, the NFFL will recognize adjustments to statistics determined in the days following the conclusion of NFL games. In order to minimize confusion, the NFFL will recognize scoring updates and stats adjustments as posted by the host website (currently Yahoo).
However, in the interest of maintaining the excitement of watching games unfold live on fall weekends, the NFFL will consider adjustments to the above scoring criteria described above in the event that scoring updates become a frequent disruption to determining winners/losers in our weekly matchups.
