COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
League Rules
Quick reference for the 2026 season. Read the full Constitution for the league's founding rules.
The FFF Constitution
All 13 articles, in a readable format. Some older provisions differ from this season's rules; those differences are flagged inside.
Buy-In & Winner's Envelope
The full league buy-in is due to the commissioner by draft day. Local managers must pay in cash. All buy-in money will be placed into a sealed league envelope and held until the season ends, when the entire envelope will be presented to the league champion.
Managers who are not in San Diego may pay the commissioner through Zelle or Venmo. The commissioner will withdraw that payment as cash on the manager's behalf and add it to the winner's envelope.
The original Constitution, Article VIII, limits a rookie champion to half the standard champion payout. Confirm whether that applies to the 2026 winner's envelope.
The League Decides Your Fate
The manager who finishes in last place must complete a punishment selected by a league vote at the end of the season. The final punishment and its terms are determined by the league.
The original Constitution, Article XI, describes choosing the punishment before the season. These provisions need to be reconciled.
