Rule Book

Lottery Percentages look good.

With regards to the transactions section, I think this point may merit some discussion:


Would it not make more sense to make the transaction first on FanTrax, and then confirm it on the forums? I presume most of us will be looking at players on FanTrax, deciding who may be a worthwhile pick-up, and it just seems more fluid to add them then and there. It means you know who is available straight away, and won't be disappointed when rushing to the forums to post your selection, and finding out that someone else already has staked a claim.

In order to add players I agree that most people would be looking at fantrax first. So I think I'd lean towards Minnesota's idea.

Fair enough. I guess I always look at the forums first in my other league so I'm used to this. Potentially it would work the opposite way as long as people remember to put things on the forums. If we make it a rule ot put it on the forums first...then people won't forget. Things also work different in our league since there is no waiver wire function for adding players, only for players who have been dropped. We all get 1 add/day and it's first come first serve when adding FAs.

Let's see what others say.


Any other points you wanted to talk about in the rule book?

I saw it as that it's a free add but the 5 day rule is in effect. Makes you think through your decisions more.

Cool! Keep the questions coming guys! I know this shit is dense!

My girlfriend still makes fun of me for even writing this thing...

This is a travesty! I will email fantrax right away!

All teams including non playoff teams are subject to losing 2 players

What Is the waiver draft?

This rule may need some clarification, e.g.:

• How many years are inactive players retained for?
• Is it possible to draft ineligible players (e.g. Undrafted draft eligible players, or players currently playing in different leagues). 
• Would these players take up a roster spot?

I was thinking about prospect limits, and thought this part of the rules could use a bit more clarification:


We've determined that prospects on the main roster count towards the prospect limit, and we are not able to replenish prospect rosters mid-season if our prospects spend the majority of the season in the big leagues. Some teams (*cough* Chicago *cough*) will therefore have quite a bit of room on their prospect roster at the end of the season, but we will only be drafting 7 new prospects next year. At the end of the season, lets say a team has 5 prospects who graduate to players, then that team would only have 22 of their 27 prospect slots filled after the 2016/17 draft.

How do these limits work? Will teams be able to then fill these unfilled slots up with players from Free Agency? Should we have some type of waiver system in place for allocating FA prospects? 

Are we using a timezone email to specify this. Seeing as how I am an hour ahead of most of NA and we have someone from the UK and I think Australia we would have huge advantages on people from the west coast of NA. So are we using a certain one and If so which?

That's the part that I was wondering about. Makes sense!
