Please note specifics on the league below, including payouts, draft information, playoffs, free agent acquisitions, and keeper rules. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I once again encourage everyone to review scoring settings, which we had a pretty exhaustive discussion on earlier this year. Looking forward to an awesome season and see everyone for the draft!
Dues & League Payouts:
For all 14 teams, dues to participate are $100, and the deadline to submit dues is at the conclusion of Week 2. All parties can paypal me at danreilly712@gmail; or via check or cash. Those who do not pay dues by the conclusion o Week 2 will have their free agent budgets frozen beginning Week 3, and rosters locked beginning Week 5.
First place will receive $800 (or 57%); second place will receive $200 (or 14%), third place will receive $125 (9%); and, fourth place will receive $75 (5%). Additionally, both division winners will receive $100 as a bonus for their successful regular seasons. All tie-breakers will be determined by head-to-head records, followed by total points for, intra-division record, and total points against (in that order). If two teams are still tied, a coin flip by the commissioner will be the final determination.
Draft Details:
The Draft is set for Sunday, August 21st at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. This draft will be auction style, and each team will have a $300 budget for the draft.
Playoffs:
Playoffs will be the top 8 teams - including 2 division winners receiving top two seeds (no byes), and remaining 6 spots decided by Win/Loss records, including all tie-breakers for receiving a playoff spot in case of a tie. Playoffs will occur Weeks 15-17.
All tie-breakers will be determined by head-to-head records, followed by total points for, intra-division record, and total points against (in that order). If two teams are still tied, a coin flip by the commissioner will be the final determination.
Acquisition Wire:
In place of a traditional waiver wire, free agent player acquisitions will be made three times each week at 11:00 AM Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday and each eligible player (both free agents and recently dropped players) will go to the team with the highest bidder. Minimum bids for acquisitions is $5, and each team has a $300 free agent acquisition budget for the year. There are no limits on the number of free agent acquisitions. In case multiple teams bid the exact highest bid, the winner will go to the team with the highest waiver priority, or the inverse order of the league's standings (i.e. the worst team).
Trades:
There are unlimited trades in the league and the league deadline is December 1st. Each trade will have a one-day review process, and 10 teams must oppose a specific trade for that trade to be vetoed.
Keeper Rules:
Each team will be eligible to keep 2 players per year for two successive off seasons but that player will cost the owner $10 more each year from what he was originally purchased for in initial draft. Players eligible for keeper status MUST BE ON YOUR ROSTER at the beginning for Week 14 (the final week of the league's regular season).
