Dynasty Rules

Miscellaneous Gameplay Rules:
1. It is impossible to implement a rule for every possible situation. Keep in mind that we are a sim-style league, which means we want everything as realistic as possible. Do not abuse AI lapses. The commissioners reserve the right to enforce warnings/punishments if a user is abusing the AI or playing unsim, even if there is no written rule.
2. Mix up your play calling.
On defense, you must run at least 25%-man coverage and 25% zone coverage. Mix up the coverage types you choose as well. Offensively, at least 25% of your plays must be run or passing plays. Mix up your formations and route combinations.
3. All games must be streamed and archived (twitch, YouTube, etc.) AWAY TEAM STREAMS
4. In game Substitutions
If you can make the substitution in the formation with the R1 or R3 button, it is allowed, except for inserting a safety into the linebacker position
5. No player can play outside his designated position on the depth chart. i.e.: WR as a TE
6. Home team chooses jersey color first and the away team is required to wear the opposite
If home wears color, away team wears white and vice versa. However away team may wear color as well so long as they have home teams’ consent.
7. Certain position changes do NOT require commish approval
OL to any other OL position is fine. DL to any other DL position is fine. LB to any LB is fine. FS to ss and SS to FS is fine. Lastly, pass rushing OLB to 4-3 edge and 3-4 DE to 3-4 EDGE OLB is fine. Any other changes need approval. If you move a player to DT, he must at least weigh 270 pounds. YOUR SUB LB MUST BE A LB. YOU CANNOT PLAY A DB IN THE SUB LB SPOT.

1 Hot Routes.
You may use one hot route per play. Offensive Line adjustments do NOT count as a hot route. However, if you use max protect, you may not hot route anything else
2. Do not scramble out of the pocket with your QB if there is no pressure.
However, you may scramble with the QB if it is a designed run/rollout, or, if protection breaks down.

7. Going for it on 4th Down
You can only go for it on fourth down in the following situations:
1. It is 4 and 1 or less when you are at your own 40 to your own 49
2. Midfield or beyond and it’s 4th and 3 or less
3. Anytime in the 4th quarter
4. Any 4th and goal
In the event the PA rule, or the 4th down rules are broken and caught in game, the following course of action is to be followed. The opposing team will choose whether or not the team who abused the rule has to Spike the ball consecutively until a turnover occurs, OR they punt out of bounds (as short as possible) to change possessions.
If points occur as a result of the PA OR going for it on 4th when it's not allowed, the team who broke the rule must allow an immediate touchdown on defense, and when they get the ball back, they must either Spike the ball or punt to give the other team the ball back.
8. No HB should have more than 25 carries in a game - 3 to 1 ratio. If your starter has 18 carries your backup must have 6.
