• MANDATORY WEEKLY DROPS

  +
  • Every team MUST release 3 players into free agency each week
  • Team with the lowest score for the week MUST release 4 players
  • Team with the highest score for the week MUST release 2 players
  • Teams who are warehousing a player for another team will return that player before next week’s drops and will then drop 2 additional players. This will equal the 3 players they must release for the week.
    • Exception: if a team sending back a warehoused player before drops (-1) also receives a warehoused player back from another team (+1) then these cancel out and that team must still drop 3 players.
    • End result must be NET -3 players after drops are complete
  • Managers will select their mandatory player drops from their active roster by Tuesday at 2pm ET each week
  • Managers who fail to pick their drops by the deadline will automatically be fined $20 FAAB and receive a warning message to choose their drops ASAP
  • Managers who still fail to pick their drops by Tuesday at 5pm ET will have drops chosen for them

---

• WEEKLY WAIVERS

  +
  • Each manager starts with $500 FAAB for the entire season unless that manager’s superpower denotes otherwise
  • Every $1 left over from the draft auction turns into $5 in additional FAAB to be used during the season
  • Managers submit FAAB bids for the players they wish to try and pick up from free agency
  • All bids must be submitted by Wednesday at 1pm ET
  • Waiver bid ties (same $ amount bid by multiple teams) will be broken by reverse standings (lowest team in overall standings wins the tiebreaker)
  • Remaining free agents are available right after waivers run

---

• TEAM TO TEAM TRANSACTIONS

  +
  • Warehousing: with limited bench spots available to weather bye weeks and injuries, teams can offer to warehouse or "store" another team’s player for compensation
  • Player Rentals: teams can offer to rent another team’s player for compensation
  • Rentals are done on a weekly basis (not permanent like a trade)
  • Warehoused & rented players will be returned at the end of the week so they can be included in weekly drop decisions for the following week

---

• PICKING TEAM SUPERPOWERS

  +
  • Once a league is full, a randomized lottery will take place that will draw each team in a 1-12 order. The first team drawn gets first pick of superpowers, second team gets the next pick of what superpowers remain, etc.
  • Managers will have a time limit to reply with their choice before they are skipped and go to the back of the line
  • The following information is provided for each superpower:
    • Power Abilities
    • Power Weaknesses
    • Power Declaration Deadline
    • Power Rentability
    • Power Blockability
  • Auction draft budget & starting FAAB budgets differ based on the strength of each power

---

• USING SUPERPOWERS

  +
  • Superpowers with weekly choices/declarations MUST make that choice by Thursday at 10am ET
    • Failing to choose by this time will void the superpower for that particular week
  • Power choices are kept secret from all players until Thursday 10am ET when the weekly “Breaking News” bulletin will announce all powers simultaneously
  • One team can rent/use multiple powers in a single week however most powers do not combine to significantly enhance each other

---

• PLAYOFFS

  +
  • Six teams will make the Championship Bracket
    • #1-4 seeds: top 4 W/L records
    • #5 seed: the team outside the top 4 with the most total season points
    • #6 seed: the remaining non-playoff team that scores the most points in Weeks 13+14 combined
  • The 6 remaining teams will play in the Consolation Bracket
  • Teams with a 1st round playoff bye cannot rent/warehouse players or powers to affect other playoff matchups for the 1st round of the playoffs
  • Playoff power/player rentals can only be done within their respective bracket
  • Superpowers will be “shut off” once a team is out of playoff contention (Championship Bracket & Consolation Bracket)
    • Eliminated teams will no longer make weekly drops or be able to add from free agency

---

• RULE CLARIFICATIONS / GRAY AREAS

  +
  • With all the possible power combinations, there will be many instances where a gray line must be debated and ruled on
    • The commissioner(s) of each individual league will be tasked with that job if questions/gray areas come up.
