How to Play Jungle Masters Football

This is a points style format, with league play only.

Every team is assigned to a (12) team satellite league, where you are randomly assigned a draft position, upon sign up. You then draft your own team, via a live online draft.

Every week, teams accumulate points from all players on their roster, and your most optimum scoring starting lineup is used to compute your final score for the week. That is, your best possible scores from each position are used for your weekly score.

Your season lasts 16 weeks, (NFL Weeks 1-16). At the end of Week 16, the top scoring team in the league is the winner and receives a Free 2008 entry into the main Fantasy Jungle contest (or High Roller Contest if doing a High Roller Masters Satellite).

The top scoring team is defined as the team that has the highest cumulative season to date point total from Weeks 1-16.

Jungle Masters Draft

All Weekday Satellites start at 9 PM EST
All Weekend Satellites start at 3 PM EST

The draft takes place online through the Fantasy Jungle site. Each league is comprised of (12) teams, and is filled on a first come, first serve basis. Draft positions are randomly assigned
upon signup.

The draft will consist of (22) rounds and will be conducted in serpentine fashion, meaning the team with the first pick in the first round will have the last pick in the second round, and then the first pick in the third round, etc…You should expect the draft to last anywhere between 2-4 hours.

Owners need to be logged in and in the draft room (15) minutes prior to the start of the draft.

Each player will have (1:30) minutes to make their selection once they are on the clock. If a player fails to make a selection within the allotted time period, AN AUTO PICK will be made for them based on the highest rated overall player per the FJ Rankings.

After completion of the draft, all teams and rosters will be uploaded to your league page and made available for viewing.

The autopick feature is automatically used if you haven't made your selection before your time is up. You may set your autopick to once, always, or leave it off. The autopick will always select from your queue first, based on who you have at the top of it, so it's important to make sure that when you move players into your queue, you rank them in order of how you want them selected. If for example, you have a kicker in your queue and he is the only one or he is at the top, and the clock strikes zero, he is the one who will be picked, so please monitor your queue at all times to make sure you have guys at the top that you want first. If you don't have anyone in your player queue, then the highest ranked player based on the FJ Rankings will be selected for you if an autopick is made. If you select autopick once, autopick will be used for your next pick, then will drop off.

If you select autopick always, it will be used until you turn it back off, or back to once. If you don't ever want to use the autopick function, just leave it set to off. It can be a good feature to use, just make sure you review it before your draft begins so you know how to use it.

The Fantasy jungle reserves the right to remove any person, at their discretion, if that person is intentionally disrupting or abusing the rules of the draft.

Roster / Lineup Submission

Team rosters are comprised of (22) players. There are no weekly lineup deadlines as this is a “best player” format. Each week, the computer will take your highest scoring lineup from your team, and that determines your weekly score. For example, if you carry (4) QB’s on your roster, the highest scoring QB each week will be deemed your QB. This occurs for every position. You just simply draft your team, then sit back and watch.

There are no free agent bidding periods. Your roster is final at the conclusion of the draft.

There is no weekly lineup submission, the computer takes your highest possible scoring team.

Your starting lineup will consist of:

The Scoring System

Your team’s score each week will be based on the following categories:

Rush, Pass, Receiving:
Passing TD 0-39 yards = 3pts
Passing TD 40 yards or more = 6 pts.

Rushing TD 0-39 yards = 6 pts.
Rushing TD 40 yards or more = 9 pts

Receiving TD 0-39 yards = 6 pts.
Receiving TD 40 yards or more = 9 pts.

Passing, Rushing or Receiving 2 pt. Conversion = 2 pts.
Receptions = 1 pt.
Interceptions thrown = (-1) pt.
Fumbles Lost = (-1) pt.

Yardage
Yards passing divided by 20 = 1 pt.
Yards rushing and receiving divided by 10 = 1 pt.

***Team scoring will be carried out to the hundredth.***

Kicking:
Extra point = 1 pt.
FG = 3 pts + 0.1 pt for every additional yard over 30 yds
(Example: 47 yd FG = 4.7 pts)

DEFENSIVE / SPECIAL TEAMS: (consists of defensive formations, punt and kick return teams)
Sack = 1 pt.
Fumble Recovery = 2 pts.
Interception = 2 pts.
Safety = 2 pts.
Shutout = 15 points
2-10 points allowed = 10 pts.
11-17 point allowed = 5 pts.

*** All points scored against any unit of the team count as points against the defense/special teams. So a touchdown scored on an interception return is still counted against the defense/special teams.***

Defensive or Special Teams TD :
0-39 yards = 6 pts.
40 yards or more = 9 pts.

In addition, Individual players WILL receive points for special teams touchdowns but not yardage. Example: Troy Brown will receive 9 points for a punt or kickoff return of 56 yards for a TD, as well as New England’s Def / Special Teams. However, Troy Brown does not receive points for the return yardage. Fake field goals or punts do not count as defensive / special teams scores as they are considered offensive plays.
