Welcome to the National Stratomatic College Football League Page
Thanks for visiting.	The Granddaddy of them all!!!	Come back and see us!

 Overview
We are using the 2004 season with version 1 of the computer college football game. This will be our first season. We will be using the internet software which comes with the game. The first 2004 preseason game is scheduled to begin December 5th, 2005 a week later the regular season will begin. All players will need the Stratomatic College Football computer games latest version and the 2004 season. Viewer is optional. Ten regular season games.

The league will be continuous ownership with the same franchise. We will be playing the seasons in chronological order.

A list of owners and teams for the 2004 season and actual 2004 W-L records.

Four of the last five games of the season are division games. This will generate some playoff excitement at the end of the year.

Playoffs
First place in each division gets a bye. Next two highest records are wild card teams and play each other North vs South (conference B) and West vs Southwest (conference A). The Wild card winner vs the worst record of the two division first place finishers of the same "conference". The winner plays the team with best record of the two division first place finishers of the same conference. We will use a modified tiebreaker system. If only TWO teams tie for the last wildcard the tiebreaker will be as follows. Head to head record, then record in division, then record in conference. If still tied there will be a playoff game for the last spot.

OWNERSHIP
Stock Teams - Continuous ownership. The team stays with the owner each year. This team is designated the “franchise
team”. The owner MUST play that team every year the owner and the team is available. (exception is the waiver team rule - see below)  The NSCFL wants to promote continuous team ownership and discourage team hopping.

Waiver Rule - An owner may claim another owners franchise team as his waiver team. If that team then becomes available the owner with the earliest claim date MUST take the team. This team now becomes the “franchise team”. If the option for electing a waiver team is used it is a one time choice and cannot be changed. If an owner ends up with a waiver team that owner is not entitled to another waiver team ever.

examples:
Joe has USC as his franchise team
Sonny has Miami as his franchise team USC as his waiver team 4/1/5
Billy has Rutgers as his franchise team USC as his waiver team 4/21/5
Joe quits.
Based on an earlier waiver team date Sonny gets USC, which becomes his franchise team. Sonny no longer is entitled to a waiver team EVER. Miami goes back into the team pool and is picked up by a current coach who has them as his waiver team. If no one has them as their waiver team then a new owner gets them as a franchise team.
Main reason for waiver rule:
If someone wants to join the league but their favorite team is not available at that time this gives that person a chance to get their favorite team down the road. This is a one-time shot.
 

Back Up Managers
The league will try to have back up managers. These managers will play a game or take over a team if needed. These managers will become owners as soon as a franchise is available. Picks will be based on when the back up manager came into the league.
