Madden 13 PS3 online league interest?

Ok guys I just set up a league and am willing to give a go at running this. I will pm everyone who expressed interest in the league over the past month now with the details.
Anyone else who wishes to join up is more than welcome.
Basic rules are below, a lot of which are copied form the xbox league, I hope they don't mind. They are of course up for discussion.
Game length: 6min w/ no acc clock
Difficulty: All-Pro
Playbooks: No limitations
Audible: Again no limitations but running the play clock down to single figures on each snap is discourages, unless you're ahead by more than a score in the 4th Q.
It is not permitted to go for it on 4th down except in the following situations
1. You are inside your opponents 10
2. Anytime you are behind in the 4th Q or anytime you are behind and within the opponents 40.
3. You may go for it anytime on 4&1
Try to keep going for it on 4th similar to what you'd see in the NFL.
The onside kick is only allowed when behind in the 4th quarter. Absolutely no surprise on side kicks.
No huddle offense
No excessive use of the no huddle. Should really only be used when down in the 4th Q.
Sportsmanship:
Use the Golden Rule. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Don't run up the score to pad your stats. If you have someone down and beaten, late in the game, have some class and run the clock out without rubbing salt in their wounds. If you are up by more than two scores with 2 minutes remaining, this should dictate you running the ball until the opponent has used their TOs then you should kneel. Up by more than 3 scores with 4 minutes remaining, you should run the ball. Up by more than 4 scores in the 4th should dictate you running the ball.
Running up the score against the CPU:
If you get to 24 points up against the CPU, start running and punting! As we have a mostly human league now, you will really mess up the stats for guys who are on holidays etc.
Everyone gets annoyed if they are losing... however, please keep in mind there is someone at the other end of the headset.
Keep in mind what you would prefer not to hear when you get annoyed in game. Try and keep cursing to a minimum.
QB running:
As far as running with the quarterback….we are not going to say you can’t run with the QB. No one is going to complain when your guys are covered or when you're about to be sacked. It is acceptable to use designed QB run plays. But, you shouldn’t be heading for the sidelines right away.
Dropbacks: Dropbacks of further than the actual drop back are not allowed. This will be rigorously enforced. After taking the snap, there is absolutely no reason to be holding down to drop back as the CPU automatically does this for you. If you drop back further than the three/five/seven yards, it gives you an advantage as for some reason EA think a person can run as quick backwards as forwards, and it causes the man coverage and zones to break down completely. Only on screen passes are you allowed the long drop backs as this is sim like. Once the drop back is complete, there is no restrictions on moving out of the pocket or up in the pocket, but it must be realistic, i.e. you can't take the snap and immediately dart out to the sideline. If someone is found to be doing this, they will be instantly banned for one week.
Taking control and moving a defensive player pre-snap is allowed, providing:
i) you keep control of that player until after the ball is snapped
ii) you do not move a D-line player back off the line or to the outside of the tackles
iii) you do not move a line-backer to a position directly behind a defensive lineman
In addition, repeatedly shifting your line-backers from side-to-side in order to exploit the ”shake” blitz is not allowed.
It is perfectly acceptable to use defensive playmaker to adjust your d-line and line-backers. Whether that is show blitz; shift them left or right; pinch or spread; blitz inside or outside or any of the other standard in-game adjustments.
Glitches/Exploits
There are a few glitches in the game. We are not going to list them all, but if you are exploiting these on a regular basis, and are aware of them, then you will be penalised. Although it's nice to win, it's not at any cost.
Punting
In Madden 13 it is apparent that short distance punts (i.e. low kick power) often result in a muffed punt which the kicking team can recover. This play is banned from all leagues and tournaments. This rule also applies to low angle punts - regardless of direction and kick power. If, as the kicking team, you recover the ball as a result of either of the above you must offer to return the ball to your opponent on the next play.
Dropped Games
If during a game the players are kicked from the server the following must be done. The game should be restarted but and the points difference between the teams must be recreated as quick as possible. Also the balance of possession must be recreated so if one player received the kick off was down 14 points and the opponent had possession when the game was kicked off again then he must receive the kickoff, punt twice, give up two scores and then punt again. These rules apply to all games through to the end of Q3.
If the game goes to Q4 the rules as above still apply with the following proviso. If a player is down by 25 points he must effectively concede the game, drop out and let his opponent play the CPU. This point total goes down by 1 point per minute in Q4, so if down by 24 with 9-10 mins, 23 with 8-9 mins and so on down to 17 points with 2-3 minutes left.
If a player drops out in these circumstances, the player who stays in the franchise to play the game should try to keep the score to the same difference it was when the game dropped out. There is no limit on the number of times you can restart the game in this exceptional case only.
Glitches/Exploits:
There are a few glitches in the game. I'm not going to list them, but if you are exploiting these on a regular basis, and are aware of them, then you may be booted. Although it’s nice to win, it’s not at any cost. Remember, we have experienced and rookie players. Rookies may well glitch by accident, do not complain about it but point out why was wrong and what they should do to avoid it in future.
I will be looking to advance every Thursday and Sunday at 10pm. All games must be play by the deadline. Any exceptions must be report to the commish for approval.
Trading: All trades must be posted on the forum in advance for approval
The league name is: Boards PS3 and I will send the password via PM
Here's hoping the making this work
