Yearly Entrance Fee:            $250 Due at draft! 

 

 

The AFC and NFC will be run as two separate leagues with regards to the draft, trades and free-agency.  If there in only one conference for 2010, we will run the 8 team format.

 

Salary Cap:    60 Million.  Must be under at all times.

 

 

Rosters:          Each team must have 22 players.  Player values imported from Budget Football and RotoSport.com, on a yearly basis.  The Coaches will be adjusted by the Commissioner to mirror your Defense.  This is the only way we can get the 5 points for a Defensive Win.  In the event of a trade where players and draft picks are involved (a lopsided trade per say), any roster shortage must be filled at the next waiver period.

 

                         Each team must have a minimum of 2 QB's, 4 RB's, 5 WR's, 2 TE's, 2 Kickers, 2 Defense/Special Teams (2) coaches will    mirror your Defenses. 

 

 

5 utility players may be any position you want.

  

Player Contracts:

 

  

Whenever a player is drafted or picked-up through free agency, that player is considered to be in the first year of a three-year contract.  This means you have the right to protect this player for up to 3 years.  The player is kept at the salary he was originally signed @ for all three years.  The purpose of the three-year contract is to limit how long a team may keep a player and to keep rosters turning over.  Any player may be cut from a team's roster, at any time during the season, without penalty, regardless of contract year.  At the end of the third contract year, all players (except currently franchised players) are sent back into the draft pool for the upcoming draft.  The 3rd year players are eligible for trades, during the July 1 to August 1 open trade period.  All 3rd year players not franchised on a roster after August 1, will be placed into the draft pool for the upcoming draft.  No 3rd year players can be traded after this period or after you cut your roster down to the minimum 9 for draft day.

 

A third year player that is requested to be the franchise player by the GM will be given 1 year of continued eligibility on that team.  They cannot be franchised again, until they are in the draft pool and have been redrafted.  Regardless if a team traded for that player while he was franchised on another team.  That player will have to go back into the draft pool prior to being eligible for future Franchising.

  

The Draft:

  

Each conference holds its own 8 - team draft.  Draft order is determined by previous year record and how each team finished in the playoffs (See playoffs section for clarification).  If at any point during the draft a team exceeds the salary cap, that team must cut the highest paid player on its roster, regardless of position or inferred importance, to make room for a full roster.  The player(s) cut to make room on the roster for additional players will be placed into the free agent pool, after the draft, and will be available to the highest bidder during week 1 of the season.

 

  

In the event a redraft is done for all players in each, especially at the inception of  a league or additional conference, a random draw for the 1^st  4 rounds will be completed, setting the remaining draft at the 4^th draw order.  Prior to week 2 games, all teams will have to identify 5 = 2nd Year Players and 5 = 3rd year players to be posted on their rosters.

  

 

Injured Reserve:

 

There is no IR.  Drafting depth is important at all positions!

 

  

Free Agency:            

  

Free agency applies to those players undrafted at the beginning of the season or those players cut from rosters during the season.  Free agency will be run separately between both conferences.  Each team is allotted $100 to be used for blind bid purposes throughout the season.  Once your funds are gone, you are locked out of free agency acquisitions.  Spend wisely!  Each week, you have the opportunity to submit a blind bid for free agents.  The highest bid wins.  In case of a tie, the team with the worst record wins.  If both teams have equal records, the auto-commish setting will flip a coin (the auto commish only uses record as the primary tie breaker).  Any player acquired via free agency is considered to be in the first year of a three-year contract.  All available free-agents will be listed on Thursdays and are available to sealed bid until 6 PM EST the following Thursday.  All bids are sorted on Thursday 6:PM EST and placed on rosters immediately for use.  All players cut from rosters will be posted and available at the next bid period.  Free-agency is open to all teams until the end of week 17.  Teams may bid on players, even if they are out of the playoff's, if they have money to spend.

 

At no time, will the waiver wire, free agency pool, be allowed to interfere with the fair and impartial play of the Super Cool Tom Cruise Fantasy Football League.  A team cannot drop a player into the pool and pick them up the following week to clear money, year of contract, or franchise tag status.  The player dropped MUST effectively clear waivers, by sitting in the pool for the next draft period and not be claimed by the team that dropped the player.  ANY OTHER team may claim the player in the first week, effectively NOT clearing waivers for the original owner, and have the new contract year, and amount applied.  If the original owner picks the player up in the first week, the original contract year and cost will apply.

 

 

Transaction Fees:   (Effective 2007)

 

  

Cutting a player:                                  $0

 

Acquiring a player via trade:                $0

 

Acquiring a player via free-agency:      $0

 

  

Trades:

 

 

Trades are not allowed between teams in different conferences.  All proposed trades are subject to approval from the Commish.  All trades cost $0 per player (effective 2007).  If a team must add players to fill its roster after a trade, the normal rules and fees would apply to adding a free agent.  All roster moves must be completed by 1PM EST on Sunday.

 

 

• The Commish will only deny a trade if it is considered to be detrimental to the league.  Obviously, no collusion is allowed between teams.  Since this is a keeper league, one-sided trades may set a team back for years.  In every trade there is potential for "winners and losers".  The Commish will only block a trade if it appears that 1 team is getting little to no value from the trade and the trade will negatively impact the league. 

 

• The Commish is not sitting around waiting for your last minute trade to go through.  A time commitment needs to be adhered to, for the commissioner to approve and insure the trade is fair and reasonable.  ANY TRADE that has Waiver Wire consequences needs to be approved by the commissioner by 12:00 PM PST for the 3:00 PM PST Waiver Wire posting.  It is not feasible for the commissioner to review and approve a trade 5 minutes prior to the Waiver Wire, that would or could change multiple teams bidding.

 

  

When a player is traded, his salary and contract year remain unchanged.  The team acquiring the new player assumes all rights of the player. 

 

  

NO TRADES ALLOWED AFTER SUNDAY, 12:00 PM EST, BEFORE THE WEEK 10 GAMES.  ALL TRADES MUST BE POSTED TO THE COMMISSIONER E-MAIL PRIOR TO THE 12:00 PM DEADLINE.  ANY TRADE DEEMED DETRIMENTAL TO THE LEAGUE, AS NOTED ABOVE, WILL BE REVOKED.
