2024 Rules

2024 PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND the COVID rules before you sign up!!!

1. If the NFL cancels a game before Wednesday night at midnight
   and declares a winner and loser and you have picked the winner you are good to go. If you picked the loser you will have until Wednesday at midnight to pick a new team.
   .
2. If the NFL cancels a game on Thursday-Sunday,
   for whatever reason, and declares a winner and loser this will be how the game is scored for Fatty-Ish purposes.
   .
3. If the NFL postpones a game after Wednesday at midnight
   and doesn’t declare a winner and loser then both sides will lose because Fatty Ish rules require your team to win to proceed to the next week.
   
.
4. If you have a team that has one or more players deemed ineligible
   after Wednesday at midnight then they are still your team you cannot change teams.
   
.
5. If you are assessed a fine and you do not pay that fine
   by the following Wednesday your pick will be removed from play.

.

We don’t anticipate any covid issues but if they occur we will continue with last years covid rules.
