Season Schedule#

The fantasy football season schedule has two phases: the Regular Season and the Playoffs. Regular season and playoff schedules are both influenced by League Divisions.

Regular Season#

Our league plays a 14-week regular season, beginning with the first NFL regular season game.

Playoffs#

This league uses a 3-week single-elimination championship format. Following the regular season, The top three (12-team league) or four (14-team league) teams in each division will participate in the playoffs. Among these teams, the seed in the playoffs is determined by overall win-loss record, with ties broken by overall points for. This is what the structure looks like for the 2023 season:

The overall winner receives the League Trophy (the “Golden Football”).

This structure is mirrored for the bottom-ranking teams, with teams advancing with each loss. Since there are six teams in each division, the bottom three teams participate with a first-round “BYE” (automatic advancement) for the lowest-ranked team in each division. This is what the structure looks like:

The team that loses all of their games in this bracket will receive the last-place trophy (the “Golden Toilet Seat”).

Trophy recipients are expected to keep their trophies on public display at their workstation until the conclusion of the following season.
