17-0 Game FAQ: Rules, Scoring & How to Play
Common questions before your first 17-0 run
The 17-0 game is a free browser roster builder with nine offense-and-defense slots and a simulated 17-week season. Use these answers to understand Daily and Practice, scoring, rerolls, sharing, mobile play, and the independence of this fan-made challenge before you start drafting.
What is the 17-0 game?▼
The 17-0 game is a free browser-based pro football roster builder. Every round rolls a random franchise and exact season, opens a curated player board for that team-year, and lets you build a 9-slot lineup before simulating a 17-game regular season.
What does 17-0 mean in football?▼
17-0 refers to a perfect regular season with 17 wins and 0 losses, matching the current NFL 17-game schedule. Our game challenges you to build a roster capable of that feat.
Is this an official NFL game?▼
No. 17-0football.com is an independent fan-made pro football game. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NFL, any club, or the NFLPA.
What is the difference between Daily and Practice?▼
Daily gives every coach the same server-seeded board and records the first completed attempt as the scored run. Practice uses unlimited random boards, supports up to two Keepers after a finish, and offers a faster reveal option for repeat runs.
How is my score calculated?▼
Your season result combines actual wins, projected wins, and team strength. The weakest required starter caps your ceiling — a balanced roster beats a top-heavy one.
Can I play on mobile?▼
Yes. The 17-0 game is built mobile-first with touch-friendly controls, share cards, and QR codes optimized for phone screens.
How do rerolls work?▼
Each game includes one Franchise re-roll and one Season re-roll. Franchise re-roll redraws the team while keeping the same year. Season re-roll redraws the exact year while keeping the same team. Use them before locking a player.
How do I share my result?▼
After simulation, tap Share Result Card to save or share an image with your record, roster, domain, and QR code linking back to 17-0football.com.
