Redraft League Specifications:

12 teams / 3 divisions of 4 teams. League play is head to head competition.

All leagues have real time scoring. 6 of 12 teams qualify for playoffs.
All Quest Fantasy Football Leagues use the same scoring format.

Redraft League Schedule:

Teams start playing during week 1 of the NFL season. You play each team in your division twice and non-divisional teams once. The regular season lasts for 13 weeks; the playoffs begin in week 14 and the league Championship is in week 16.

Redraft League Reports:

Each week, all of the information, such as standings, available free agents, weekly results, game-by-game breakdowns and more, is posted online on your league’s web page. Starting lineups are posted BEFORE the games start.

Redraft League - Free Agents:

Any player not currently on an active league roster is a free agent (NFL players only). The free agent selection order is set from worst record (overall winning percentage ) to best record (ties are broken by total points for). You cannot trade your weekly free-agent drafting position. If your team roster is full, if you acquire a player, then you must also drop a player. Each week the free agency function is in a "4-round" format. Teams can pick up 1 player per round (for a maximum total of 4 players). The lowest team picks first in all 4 rounds, and the best team picks last. Free agency is an active function from Weeks 1-13 (regular season), and requests must be submitted no later than 11 p.m. EST on Wednesday evening.

You can put your requests in at any time after a week's games have ended and before the deadline. If you are going to be away from the computer for an extended period of time, it is highly recommended to select your picks ahead of time to make sure your roster moves are done for the week. Players picked up are available immediately for that week's action or for trade to another team.

After the Worst to first waivers - there will be FCFS (first-come-first-served) waivers. Players dropped will not be available until the next Worst to First waivers. FCFS waivers will end at 1:00pm each Sunday.

"Dropped Players" and "Waiver Wire Transactions" are final. 

Redraft League Trading:

There is no limit to the number of players a team can trade in a given week. Both teams need to give approval and list terms of the trade for it to be confirmed. Once approved by the league Commissioner, the trade will be official. Trade results will be posted on the website for each league. As a trade is approved, the team(s) rosters will automatically be updated and a transaction record will be listed. Trades must be completed and confirmed by both sides before the first game of each week and can only be done during the league’s regular season, after week one and prior to Week 10.
If a trade is proposed within 24 hours from kickoff, prior to review, each team must also submit a secondary lineup that does not include players picked up in the trade. This is to ensure that an additional lineup is available to revert to, in case the trade is questioned by the league, and then vetoed. Players acquired are available immediately for use in the lineup the week they are picked up. A player cannot be traded back to a team until 5 games have passed. This is to avoid collusion. 

Protesting of Trades: The league has the ability to veto a trade that has 60 percent (six teams) of the league’s vote. The parties involved in the trade cannot vote for or against their own trade. A vote to veto a trade must be proposed within 24 hours of the trade becoming official. If a trade is one-sided or collusion between owners is suspected, the trade will be vetoed. All steps will be taken to ensure fairness. If a trade receives 3 requests for a veto vote, the commissioner will either reverse the trade or allow it to go to a league vote. If the trade goes to league vote, the owners will have the final say in determining whether or not a trade can stand or be vetoed. The following criteria are the only criteria considered when voting against a trade.

1)Was collusion involved in this deal?
2)Was the trade obviously in favor of one team? If so, explain
3)Was this done with the intent of a “fire sale” in mind?

Any time a trade makes it to vote, you must include a detailed explanation to the commissioner as to why you are voting against a trade.

All transactions are final.
