• The RotoBowl season is broken up into 3 phases:.
1) Draft
2) Regular Season
3) Postseason (League Playoffs, Championship Tournament, Consolation Bowl)
• Phase 1 - Draft
» Each team is randomly assigned a draft position and league on Thursday, September 10th.
» Leagues will consist of 12 teams in one conference. Your team will draft and compete against these 12 teams for the regular season.
» Each team is also randomly assigned a team number (1-12). Team number dictates draft position. The draft will utilize the Serpentine Draft method (1-12, 12-1, 1-12...)
 • Phase 2 - Regular Season & Victory Points
The regular season runs from week 1 through week 11. Although the regular season is based on the standard head-to-head schedule, a weekly point element has also been included to ensure the fairest possible league standings/results. To incorporate both of these elements into the league standings, Victory Points will be utilized.
Each week, a team will be able to accrue anywhere from 0-3 victory points.
Weekly Matchups
a. Head-to-Head: From weeks 1-11, each team will play another team in their league in a head-to-head matchup. The higher scoring team of the two will receive a win and 2 victory points. Ties will count for 1 victory Point.
b. Top 6 / Bottom 6: For each week from Weeks 1-11, the top 6 scoring teams for the week in each league will receive 1 Victory Point for that week, in addition to the win/loss acquired from the Head-to-Head game from that Week. The bottom 6 scoring teams for the week in each league will receive 0 Victory Points for the week, in addition to the win/loss aquired from the Head to Head game from that Week.
c. Victory Points
As stated above, each week a team will be able to accrue between 0-3 Victory Points. 2 Victory Points are awarded for a win in the head-to-head matchups (1 for tie), and an additional 1 Victory Point is awarded to each of the Top 6 Scoring teams every week.
• Phase 3 - Postseason 
» League Playoffs - Weeks 12-14
» At the conclusion of Week 11, each team will be seeded according to their Regular Season Victory Point total. The top 6 seeds will advance to their League Playoffs, which will determine both Regular Season League Prizes and entry into the RotoBowl OVerall Championship Tournament. The League Playoffs will be laid out as follows:
- Week 12 (Round 1): Seeds 1 & 2 receive bye to Round 2 of League Playoffs.
Seed 3 vs Seed 6 - Winner will advance to Round 2; loser is eliminated from League Playoffs and will be placed into Consolation Bowl.
Seed 4 vs Seed 5 - Winners will advance to Round 2; loser is eliminated from League Playoffs and will be placed into Consolation Bowl.
