    Random League/Draft Spot Selections
    The NFFC will set each Throwback DC League (12 Team) - 2024 league as they fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Once that league is filled for that date, the league will be closed or signups will continue for a second or third league for that date and time.
    Setting Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) Preferences

    The NFFC will use Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) preferences for draft preferences in all Throwback DC League (12 Team) - 2024 leagues. The Draft Preferences are listed as soon as you click on your team link. There you will see a list of 1 through 12 in order and an "Edit Preferences" link. Edit your list as often as you'd like and just save your preferences each time before the required deadline for this league.

    Here's what KDS does: The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 12 BEFORE the leagues are randomly selected. Some owners would rather draft in the middle, if they are selected early in their league; others like to stay near the top and others like to move down to the lower end. KDS allows that if you are fortunate enough. A sample KDS from an owner could look like this:

    9
    8
    7
    1
    4
    11
    5
    3
    10
    6
    12
    2

    If an owner wants the third pick and he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose 3 as his top option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day. NFFC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected, pick the highest available preference for each owner and then announce the draft orders for each league.

    Third Round Reversal

    The Throwback DC League (12 Team) - 2024 will use Third Round Reversal for all drafts. This means in round one the draft order will go team 1 through team 12 and in round 2 the draft order will be team 12 through team 1. Then in round 3 the order will be team 12 through team 1 and then continue in serpentine fashion after that.

    Here is how the first 4 rounds of the draft order will go:

    • Round 1: 1-12
    • Round 2: 12-1
    • Round 3: 12-1
    • Round 4: 1-12

    Serpentine for the remainder of the draft.

    Live Drafts
    Each league will be comprised of 12 teams, and each draft will consist of 26 rounds, with each team selecting players in each round using 3RR (3rd Round Reversal).

    If an NFFC participant inadvertently leaves the draft with an illegal lineup (for instance, was without a QB), then the NFFC will drop the last pick made by that team (or more picks if needed) and add the last player at that position on the NFFC's final Cheat Sheet on Draft Day to make that lineup legal. The NFFC participant could replace the player who was assigned after the error was discovered during the first FAAB period. All lineups must be legal before the season starts and the NFFC will correct all roster errors that may have been missed at the draft. All decisions by the NFFC commissioner involving final rosters are official.

    Time Limit for Draft:
    There will be a 1 minute time limit for each owner to make his/her pick during each round of the draft. If a participant does not make a selection in the allotted time, they are passed over until the next participant makes a player selection. The passed-over participant follows after the next person's pick and again has one minute to make his/her pick. Picks are official once the league facilitator announces the selection and all decisions by the league facilitator are final. In the event that a participant selects a player who no longer is available, the participant will get an additional 15 seconds by the draft facilitator to select a new player. If the participant then again selects someone who is off the board, his/her turn will be skipped and the participant will be allotted a full minute to make another selection after the next team's selection has been made.

    Commissioner Decisions:
    All decisions made by the NFFC commissioner are final. Tough decisions sometimes must be made about eligibility rules, lineups, etc., and NFFC participants must accept the unbiased ruling of the NFFC commissioner.

    If an NFFC participant does not show up at the draft in time, a surrogate owner will be installed and that owner will use the latest Cheat Sheets from our online rankings to draft players, going in order of the Top 300 regardless of position. Should that owner not show up at all, the surrogate owner would be able to pick players at required positions when those needs are obvious.

    Seating: Every team will have two draft spots available at the table and each team will be seated in their draft order. If you do not have a co-manager, we will remove the second chair and you will have more room to spread out.

    Electronic Equipment:
    Participants can use electronic equipment during the draft as long as it fits in the allotted draft spot at the table. There will be NO Internet connections or electrical outlets, so participants bringing laptops will have to supply their own power. Cell phones are allowed at the draft table, but we encourage participants to use them sparingly and not in a way that interrupts the draft process. We request that participants limit their usage to outgoing calls during the draft, not incoming calls, and anyone planning to remain on the phone for the entire draft needs to inform the NFFC about that ahead of time.

    Smoking/Drinking:
    Smoking will not be allowed in the Draft Room. There will be a cash bar available in the Draft Room, but we ask that each participant drink responsibly.

    Breaks:
    There will be a 15-minute break after Round 10 and we will finish the draft after the final break.

All decisions made by the SportsHub Games Network, Inc. commissioner regarding eligibility are final.
    Trades Between Managers
    To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed.
    Free Agents
    There are no free agent pickups in Throwback DC League (12 Team) - 2024 Leagues. What you draft is what you have to manage for the entire season. All rosters remain intact from Draft Day through the end of the season.

    Refunds

    Once a participant submits valid payment, no money will be refunded unless the NFFC event for which such participant has registered has been canceled. A team spot is considered filled when the entire entry fee is paid. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to cancel any entries which are not part of a full league. In addition, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. retains the right to deny, at its sole discretion, eligibility of any individual to register for any NFFC game or event and/or participate in any NFFC game or event, even after the registration fee has been paid, but in such case, the entry fee will be refunded. Under no condition shall SportsHub Games Network, Inc. be held responsible for any loss or liability related to any expenses incurred by a denied entrant or any person affiliated with that denied entrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any participant or co-manager is banned from the NFFC as the result of any violation of the Official Rules, then no refund will be given.

    Cancellation

    At its sole discretion, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to terminate any NFFC game, event or league at any time prior to the completion of the season due to any acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, change in applicable law, interruption of the season (including strikes, lockouts and/or use of replacement players), or any other situation beyond the control of SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. In the event of any such termination by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., all entry fees will be refunded, with the exception of any live event fees (if such live event has already occurred).

    At its sole discretion, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to terminate any NFFC game, event or league (including the NFFC Main Event) if there are an insufficient number of teams prior to the scheduled start of the league. In this unlikely event, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will refund all entry fees within 48 hours of cancellation notice and/or provide a new application form with the newly stated prize figures. In this situation, all pre-registered applicants have the right to a full refund or to agree to play for the newly announced prize structure.

Additionally the NFFC events, games and/or leagues may not be used for any form of gambling. Any conduct or message board post by a participant, co-manager or other person which is deemed by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., in its sole discretion, to be unlawful, or to have the effect of intimidating, harassing, offending or otherwise harming any other participant, co-manager, guest, or NFFC/SportsHub Games Network, Inc. representative, is strictly prohibited. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion to ban any person from current and/or future participation in the NFFC and/or from use of the message boards if such person engages in any such prohibited conduct or is otherwise in violation of any of these Rules. In addition, any person engaging in such conduct forfeits any rights to a refund, as well as any potential rights to a prize award. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. shall not be responsible or held liable to any person for damage to property or personal injury or death arising from the acts or omissions of any third parties. Any participants or co-managers who collude, or attempt to collude, or who attempts to blackmail, bribe or otherwise influence any representative of SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC, or who otherwise attempts to sabotage the league, in an effort to alter the results or outcome of any NFFC game will be disqualified and will be prohibited from winning any prize award. If a participant is banned from participation in a current NFFC game, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, to take those actions which it sees fit, in its sole discretion with respect to such banned participant?s team. Any criminal behavior may be referred to the appropriate authorities.

    Errors

    The deadline for submitting any dispute or claim regarding the operation of any league draft is one hour after the conclusion of the draft itself; further, leaving any live draft event without submitting any dispute or claim regarding the draft constitutes your waiver of any right to challenge any aspect of the draft. You are strongly urged to double-check your lineups, trades, and free agent moves throughout the season, as SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC will not be held liable for any errors in entering lineups, trades or free agent moves, and SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFFC will not intervene or alter a transaction after lineups, trades or free agent moves are due.

    Prize Splitting

    Prize splitting amongst the principal registrant and co-managers is available, provided that the principal registrant has authorized payment to his co-managers in writing and in advance of the completion of the season. In order to authorize prize-splitting, the principal registrant must completely fill out and sign the authorization form designated by SportsHub Games Network, Inc. (including the name and address of the co-manager(s) and the applicable prize percentage to be paid to each co-manager(s)). Both the principal registrant and each co-manager designated on a prize-splitting form will be required to fill out a W-9. No prize money will be distributed until all necessary forms have been received by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. Both the principal registrant and the co-manager(s) will receive IRS Form 1099 reflecting the prize money paid to each. If SportsHub Games Network, Inc. deems, in its sole discretion, that the appropriate documentation and/or authorization has not been received, or has not been received in a timely fashion, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will pay prize payments only to the principal registrant.

    Communication Access

    All NFFC team owners must have internet access and a valid e-mail address for communication. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. is not responsible for any issues which impede or interfere with the transmission or receipt of any transaction, including but not limited to, draft selections, trades, free agent moves and lineups.
