Rules
Below are the essential rules that every participant must follow. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a fair and competitive environment for all teams.
Guillotine League Overview & Special Rules:
- ***Draft Date***: The draft is tentatively set for August 25th at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET.
- Guillotine League Basics: Each week, the team with the lowest score gets eliminated, and their players are released into the free-agent pool.
- FAAB System (Free Agent Acquisition Budget): Instead of traditional waiver claims, teams bid on players using a budget. Every team gets a set amount at the start of the season (e.g., $100), and you'll bid on free agents. The highest bidder gets the player. Budget wisely as it needs to last the entire season!
- Drafting Players: No Bench! Every player you draft will be a starter, making every pick crucial. Correct Positions: Ensure that when you draft, you fill out a complete, valid starting lineup. Drafting too many players for one position will result in a $5 fine, and the player will be removed from your team and added to waivers. The only exception is for teams that auto-draft, who will have one day to make the necessary corrections needed. No trades allowed.
- Team Names & Logos: Team names must be a noun (unless otherwise approved), and each team must provide a custom logo that is not a stock Yahoo image.
- Entry and Prize:The league has a free buy-in. Despite this, there's a prize of $250 up for grabs. This makes for a friendly but competitive atmosphere. If you received an invite to this league, it's because the committee believes you're too stupid to win their money.
- Scoring Changes:- Receptions: 1 point per reception (up from standard Yahoo's 0.5). - Pick 6: -2 points (so if a quarterback throws an interception that's returned for a touchdown, it's -3 points total when considering the -1 for the interception itself). - Rushing Attempt: 0.25 points. This means every 4 rushing attempts earn a player 1 point. 4th down stop +1 Defense. -1 missed PAT
- Guillotine League Basics: If you ask about rules or guidelines that have already been established here, it may result in a $5 FAAB budget fine.
Read The Rules
Understand the guidelines and rules that govern the activity or competition you're participating in. This step ensures that you are fully aware of what's expected of you and can avoid any penalties or misunderstandings.
Read Them Again
It's essential to review the rules more than once to ensure you fully comprehend them. Re-reading helps catch any details you might have missed the first time and reinforces your understanding.
Set Your Lineup
Prepare and organize your team or resources before the competition or activity begins. This involves making strategic decisions to maximize your chances of success based on the rules you've read. Failure to set your lineup could lead to expulsion from the league, so it’s crucial to stay on top of this responsibility.
Fair Play
No shady moves or attempts to bend the rules—like picking up and dropping players just to block another team. Any such tactics will be overruled, and you could face fines or even expulsion from the league. Play the game the right way, or don't play at all.
Don't Bitch
Avoid complaining or making excuses, especially when things don’t go your way. This principle emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and taking responsibility for your actions.
You're Not Going To Win
Accept the reality that winning is not possible, and focus on enjoying the process. This principle encourages participants to be realistic, keep their expectations in check, and find satisfaction in participation rather than just victory.

Managers
Eighteen heads on the block, only one will escape.
Crab People
Paul ★★★★★A brilliant strategist and a natural leader, the Crab People’s commander is a champion of the people and a conqueror like Alexander the Great. Under his leadership, the Crab People are the epitome of greatness, revered by all.
Da Shreddha
Vin ★★Da Shreddha earned the crown of the league’s biggest flop last year, managing to get booted before the bye weeks even hit. Lost in a fog of confusion, they bumbled through every decision, convinced that drafting nothing but running backs was the secret to success. Now, desperate for redemption and aching to prove they’re not a total joke, they’re still hopelessly out of their depth. Some strategies—like this team—are beyond saving.
Fanokes
Mark ★★★★Last year's champion, but whispers of extra help surround his victory, like a special ed student getting a little too much assistance. Rumor has it the Crab People took a dive just to let him win, and he couldn’t have done it without the Guillotine podcast spoon-feeding him every move. Now, with his trophy in one hand and drool cup in the other, Fanokes is primed to stumble right back into the failure he narrowly escaped.
Derek Morris
Frank ★★★The Christians are helmed by a tormented Jets fan, whose unshakable loyalty to the most cursed franchise in football has cursed him with a knack for terrible fantasy decisions. Clinging to hope where there is none, his undying allegiance is steering The Christians straight toward their inevitable demise.
AM Lumber
Pat ★AM Lumber, also known as "Purple Pat" or "Pillow Hands Pat," is famous for poor decisions and even worse hygiene. This team is just a splinter of what it should be, barely holding itself together.
Ben Afflect jr.
Rico ★★Ben Afflect Jr. is like a ship without a rudder, drifting aimlessly through the competition and stumbling at every turn. Still living in his parents' basement, he navigates the season with all the direction of a blindfolded driver. As he struggles to keep up, the real question is, what will he lose first—his head, his hair, or any remaining shred of dignity?
ARich’s BBC
Keith ★★Colts. have lost all excitement for the sport, leaving them lifeless and uninspired, barely able to muster the energy to compete. Yet, there’s something unsettling about their eerie discretion, a quiet presence that lingers long after the game is over. Colts. may be a shell of a team on the field, but they’ll haunt your dreams long after the final whistle.
I'm trans
Pete ★I'm Trans is led by the league's only PhD, but all that education hasn’t helped on the field. Still the only one social distancing and eagerly awaiting the next booster shot, this team is more focused on staying six feet away than getting six points. As out of touch with the game as their name suggests, they're more concerned with immunity than victory.
Potato
Blake ★Potato's brainpower rivals that of their team's namesake: a potato—enough said. With a gaze as crossed as their strategies and the decision-making skills of a root vegetable, it's no wonder they're constantly lost in the field. Every play is a mashed mess, leaving them fumbling and stumbling through the season.
Bretts Bold team
Brett ★★★Brett's Bold Team is the league's pint-sized supervillain, a 5'4" Lex Luthor with the aroma of pepperoni pizza that's been sitting out too long. For all the bluster, his team's boldness is nothing more than a smokescreen for their inevitable downfall—boldly terrible in every way.
Scarlet Vengeance
Greg ★★Garry's Primo Team is led by a ginger daywalker, a rare breed cursed with the worst of both worlds—no soul to guide him and a sunburn waiting at every turn. This fiery-haired misfit stumbles through the season with the grace of a broken compass. Despite the name, there's nothing "primo" about this team—just a disaster waiting to happen.
Andrew's Awesome Team
Andrew ★Andrew's Awesome Team is anything but awesome. As the youngest and dumbest manager in the league, he's more focused on following orders from his girlfriend than on making winning plays. This team is as hopeless as its leader, destined to fumble through the season.
Toker
Toker ★★★Toker is more interested in getting high than winning, spending most of his time sprawled out on the couch in a haze of laziness and lethargy. With a team that's perpetually low and lacking any real drive, they're just as couch-bound as their leader.
Jim's Agreeable Team
Jim ★Jim's Agreeable Team threw in the towel last year, showing just how spineless they truly are. Instead of putting up a fight, they let everyone walk all over them. Their only notable skills? Spouting Mets trivia and flossing with a jump rope—completely useless talents in this league. If winning required anything more than party tricks, they'd be in serious trouble.
Team Rocket
James ★★Team Rocket is the league's most annoying team, a constant source of irritation as they loudly blast off to failure at the speed of light. Their every move seems designed to frustrate, yet their trajectory is always the same—straight to the bottom. Despite their flashy antics, they're more of a nuisance than a threat, destined to crash and burn spectacularly.
Roselle Park Redskins
Richie ★Roselle Park Redskins are captained by the league’s elder statesman, a lawyer who’s been sporting gray hair since he was 11 and is as baffled by free agency as he is by technology. Picture an uglier George W. Bush fumbling through a playbook. His so-called strategies unravel faster than a bargain-bin suit, leaving the team in shambles before the game even begins.
Dpain
Lane ★★★Dpain was once the league's legendary ladies' man, but those glory days are long gone. Now he's a shell of his former self, losing hair faster than his grip on reality, with arms that barely work. The charm has faded, and all that's left is pain—leading his team straight to oblivion.
PEPSI CRUSHER
Kevin ★PEPSI CRUSHER is the league's rookie, the kind of guy who's everyone's favorite uncle—great for a laugh but completely harmless on the field. As a first-timer, he’s more likely to share stories than strategies, posing no real threat to the competition. In the end, PEPSI CRUSHER is doomed from the start, but at least he’ll keep everyone entertained along the way.
