Some league rules of note:
-Telecasts will feature no television timeouts and 60 percent fewer commercials, with the league aiming for an approximate real-time game length of 150 minutes, down from just over 180 in the NFL.
-All teams must attempt two-point conversions after each touchdown; there will be no extra point kicks.
-There will be no kickoffs; all possessions will begin on each team's own 25-yard line, the same as touchbacks in the NFL and NCAA. The team on defense can keep the ball, in lieu of an onside kick, by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line and gaining at least 10 yards.
-The play clock will run only 30 seconds, 10 seconds shorter than in the NFL.
-Two coach's challenges per team are the only replays.
-Teams will have 50 players on each roster, with some selected by a territorial draft.
-Outside organizations will handle head-safety protocols.
