Rules:
+ Show Spoiler +
A class teams may alter their playbooks, S class teams may not.
All teams may sub. players. (No swapping recievers with running backs or vice versa)
No autofire or cheats (Obviously)
No nose tackle dives (diving with nose tackle at the start of the play, resulting in unavoidable sack)
No skipping coin flip after result, either skip coin flip before result, or let it proceed.
No choosing the '4th man down' for fieldgoal/extrapoint blocks.
At least one player needs to submit a screenshot of the final score statistics screen, or both players have to agree on the final score. If there is no screenshot of the statistics screen, you'll miss out on stat tracking for that game. Tie games which remain tied after standard OT will be settled with a rematch. The original game's statistics and score are not counted in any way.
If you cannot find time to play during the match period, you forfeit the game to your opponent. (Match periods will be VERY reasonable, and extensions/earlyplay will be available upon request, as long as each player agrees to the terms.)

How to Play:
+ Show Spoiler +
PM EscPlan9 for the ROM. (Don't assume your rom is correct.)
Here's a step-by-step guide to getting Nestopia and using Netplay, be sure to delete your save files beforehand, and follow all of it, or it -will- desync and fail.
http://www.tecmoworld.com/ntl/nestopiaguide
If this doesn't work, do the following:
Download the file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mx3qozoqkmd
Rename the old kailleraclient.dll in your NEStopia folder to something else, for safe keeping.
Place the new downloaded kaillerclient.dll into your NEStopia folder.
Run netplay.
Find a server that BOTH players have low ping counts on. Less than 50 is ideal, less than 100 is ACCEPTABLE.
Both players join the server, one makes a game, and you play! Keep in mind there may will be a slight lag, depending on the server ping, keep this in mind while kicking, especially.
If you have controller input issues, player 2 needs to go to 'machine' then 'input' and switch player 2 to 'Pad 1'

I. Introduction

The Idea
I would like to start a well-organized, 'just-for-fun' Tecmo Super Bowl league which includes all 28 teams and a system for balancing them. I'd like to invite anyone who can fit in about 1-2 games per week (A game is around 20 minutes) over the league's 2-3 month schedule. Even if you haven't played before, or don't think you're very good, feel free to sign up! It's just for fun, and it's very easy to pick up. It's not your typical football game. Obviously, if we cannot get 28 players, we'll have to revamp the format a bit... But that'd be a shame, so sign up! The first 28 to do so are eligible.
How to Play
I'll update this later, but we will be using the NES version of 'Tecmo Super Bowl', and I believe we'll be playing through Nestopia's Netplay feature.
Prizes
It's just for fun! There are no prizes, except for bragging rights and a good time, although if we get a full league going, maybe I'll come up with some sort of fun valueless prize!

The League
Each player will follow a set schedule of 14 games based upon the team they have. The details of these schedules will be revealed at a later date. This will run for 9 weeks, meaning you can expect to play about 1.5 games per week. Each game will be open for playing within the given match period, which will likely be about 5 days. Each game only takes about 20 minutes to play, so you're looking at about 30 minutes of commitment per week.
The Playoffs
The playoffs are to follow a standard single-elimination tournament style. There are to be 14 playoff slots, allowing for two teams to obtain a 'bye' by way of best records in the league. Tiebreakers for these spots will be based on total points scored minus total points allowed. The 4 playoff rounds will be played over a period of 3 weeks.

Regulation
+ Show Spoiler +
Obviously no autofire, trainers, cheats, etc, any simple 2-button + 4-way movement control input is allowed.
As brought to my attention by EscPlan9, the 'nose tackle dive', in which you select the nose tackle on defense and dive as soon as the ball is hiked resulting in an unavoidable QB sack, is outlawed. Any similar exploitation is obviously not allowed as well.
At least one player needs to submit a screenshot of the final score statistics screen, or both players have to agree on the final score. If there is no screenshot of the statistics screen, you'll miss out on stat tracking for that game. Tie games which remain tied after standard OT will be settled with a rematch. The original game's statistics and score are not counted in any way.
If you cannot find time to play during the match period, you forfeit the game to your opponent. (Match periods will be VERY reasonable, and extensions/earlyplay will be available upon request, as long as each player agrees to the terms.)
You may freely substitute players at any time during the game. See the 'Team Balancing' section for information on playbook customization. Illegal playbook customization will result in an automatic loss.

5. I understand how team balancing works, and how it affects my rules of play.
6. I understand that we will be using the NES version of Tecmo Super Bowl.

IV. The League

This will later hold all league information, schedules, stat tracking, etc. It'll be sweet, and I may recruit an assistant to help come up with some cool statistics and such, so PM me if you're interested.
Current Signups
*** Available for any team if needed
The league will begin after we get enough signups. If there's not enough signups after a week or so, we'll have to revamp the format and rules a bit and work with what we've got.
