The League Sports Book Rules

DI-AA: The League will have a Sports Book to give human owners a chance to both fill their need to bet on games in a competitive, yet free environment, as well as to boost their team prestige or a particular player(s) stats.

The DI-AA: The League Sports Book will work as follows:

Three games will be chosen by the board of directors and posted on the forums each week for every regular season game and all games in the conference championship week, the playoff semi-finals, and the playoff finals.

Each game will have the home and away teams listed with the spread determined by the game. Once the games are posted, each owner may make his choice on who will cover the point spread.

For each winning bet, one point will be added to the owner's bank. Points may not be bet on future games; they will only count towards the season ending total.

Regular season games are worth one point; conference championship games and the playoffs are worth 2 points except for the national championship game; the national championship game is worth 5 points.

70 points are available for an entire season if a player is able to correctly predict the winner in each of the chosen games.

Once the season is over, these points can be used in one of two ways:
1. Five points can be used to add one prestige point to a team with prestige lower than 45.
2. Eight points can be used to add one prestige point to a team with prestige between 46 and 65.
3. Ten points can be used to add one prestige point to a team with prestige 66 or greater.
4. In addition to these adjustments, only FIVE prestige points can be added in a single year.
5. Up to 10 points can be added to any player on an owner's roster; multiple players can be boosted.
6.  Points DO NOT carry over to the next season;  they must be spent the week of coach hiring.

Participation in the Sports Book is not a requirement for being in DI-AA: The League, however, it is recommended for the obvious bonuses.

For owners handling two teams, you may only make one set of picks; your picks will be logged for both teams that you control.

One might say, why have these types of bonuses? Let's say that you are a coach, and you have a choice during the offseason: do you accept a chance to speak at an event that would give you the opportunity to plug your school, or would you turn that down and spend time with your stud sophomore running back, training him on how to properly hit the hole? Or if you have a returning star senior quarterback and a blue chip freshman quarterback waiting in the wings? Who do you spend more time with as a coach? The book itself is simply a way to engage the owners in a novel way to give them points to spend at the end of a long season.
