6. Point Calculations: Team scoring will be carried out to the hundredth (e.g. a team may score 94.75 points).
7. Free Agents: Any player who is not on a team roster within your league is considered a free agent for that league.
8. Free Agent Acquisitions: The free agent system will be a “blind bidding” process. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent “dollars” for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis. No team will be informed of any other team’s free agent bids until after the winning bids have been awarded. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team’s free agent dollars. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. If a team’s free agent dollars go to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents).
9. Bidding Time Frame: The bidding process starts after the completion of Week 1 and ends prior to the Sunday of Week 13. Bids will be accepted on the league website from Tuesday 6 am CT until Wednesday 8 pm CT. There is a blind bidding period that starts after the first is complete and goes until Saturday 8 pm CT. Rosters will be updated after each blind period is complete. Players who are dropped on Wednesday may not be bid upon until the following week. Players who have already played a game that week cannot be dropped until the next week. There will be no free agent pickups after the completion of the WWFF Division Championships.
10. Conditional Bids: Conditional bids can also be offered. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place a conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. The first conditional bid will become relevant only if you lose out on the first bid. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Bids do not require conditional bids. Bids may have several sequential conditional bids, but may not include bidding on the same player more than once.
11. Number of Bid Limits: There is no limit to the number of bids each week in which bids are permitted.
12. Tied Bids: If there is a tie, the team that receives the player is the team that is lowest in the standings.
13. Available Players: Teams may acquire players not on any roster within their league, with one exception.
14. Trades between managers: To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed.
