Bidding
A bid on a player is considered closed and final when 48 hours has passed since the last bid. All bids are for the amount of the total contract.�� Bids simply must be in multiples of $100k.� The minimum annual salary is $500k.� The minimum bid raise is $500k for a total bid less than $10m, $1m minimum raise for total bids higher than $9.9m.� Once a bid is closed, the GM must decide on a contract for the player.��
�
A manager does not have to have the roster space or cap space to bid on a player.� This is due to the non-guaranteed contracts utilized in this league, a manager can make a couple quick moves to get under the roster limit and salary cap to take on their new free agent signing.�

A team can have no more than 5 winnings bids (bids that they are leading) at once. Once one bid is won or bid up then you can bid again. If you go over 5 winning bids, you will be warned of it. If you then do it again, you will be banned from bidding for a period of 24 hours (your valid bids will stand but you cannot place anymore bids for 24 hours)

Added 6/23- There is to be absolutely no editing or deleting of bids. If you place a bid, that bid is locked in unless the bid is upped or it is an illegal bid.�
�
After a bid is won
�
Teams have 48hrs to post roster moves to make room either for salary, roster spot or both for a winning FA bid. Time starts from when I or another commissioner post asking for corresponding move or contract.
�
If a team does not make the necessary moves, the the player will go back to free agency. The team will also be assessed the cap hit associated with dropping a player of the winning bid's contract

Contracts Guidelines-
Salary range, Maximum Years

$1m or less = 2 years

$1.1m - $4.9m = 3 years

$5.0m - $9.9mm = 4 years
$10m or higher = 5 years (max years is 5)

Playoff Set-Up:

8 teams: 3 division winners from each conference. Best non-division winner from each conference gets wildcard berth.

Playoffs start week 14. Top seed in each conference plays wildcard team in round 1 and 2/3 play each other. Winners then play each other to determine who goes to super bowl.

Update for 2019 and on:

Starting in week 13 with 4 2 game weeks during the regular season (likely will be weeks 1-3 and then another week to try to have as few multi-weeks during bye weeks as possible):


5 teams on either conference
3 division winners on each side will get first round byes
2 wildcard teams on each side will play each other in the 1st round
Winners will play #1 seed on each side.

Tiebreakers


Division winners determined:
1.��Best record overall.
2.��Total season points
3.��Third by head to head competition
4.��Coin toss.�

Wild cards determined:
1.��Overall record.
2.��Total season points.
3.��Third by head to head competition.�
4.��Coin toss.�

Initial Roster
The start up draft will have 2 rounds. The first round you will draft an entire team's offense and the 2nd round, you will draft an entire teams defense. From the offense and defense, you will choose a beginning roster. Must select at least 20 players and up to 30 players from the beginning offense and defense
Contracts can be found here:�http://www.spotrac.com/cap-tracker/nfl/�and we will be using Annual Average Salary. We will provide a spreadsheet with your initial roster to avoid confusion. (Some draft picks may still be unsigned at this time. If this happens we will use our best estimate)
�
Salary Cap:
$130m per team
�
Roster Guidelines:
�Each team�s roster must have at least 30 players on the team (IR players will count to the 30 minimum) from Week 1 till the end of the season. No roster may ever have more than 45 active players (with the exception of IR players)
�
Active Roster:
Offense (11)
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 3 RB/WR/TE, 1 K
Defense (11)
2 DE, 1 DT, 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 S, 1 Utility Def player
�
Total Roster= 45 (24 bench spots)
�
Injured Reserve/Suspended Players
There are 3 IR spots.� Suspended players may also be placed on the IR.� Both are out of the control of the fantasy GM and a fantasy GM should not be penalized by the actions of a player or rogue commissioner and his agenda.� You may dictate ONE IR player as a cash exemption (meaning his salary for that year is wiped from the books). This may only use on someone who is officially ruled out for the year (such as Carson Wentz in week 13 from this season). Once you've posted to use it, you cannot change the player it goes towards.

Contracts
Contracts are always listed in terms of flat salary and the last season of such contract.� For example, $10m (2020) is a contract the pays $10m each season through the 2020 season.
�
Except for any contract inherited in 2018, all contracts must be no longer than five years.� Also, for a given salary, all contacts have term limits (max years contract can be per the salary) as provided below.
�
Salary range, Maximum Years
$1m or less = 2 years
$1.1m - $4.9m = 3 years
$5.0m - $9.9mm = 4 years
$10m or higher = 5 years (max years is 5)
�
Releasing Players Under Contract
All contracts are non-binding, you may release a player at any time.� However, bonuses are given to each contract for the duration of the contract that will count against your salary cap.� They are as follows:
�
Player's yearly salary/amount of bonus each year:
$1.0m or less = no bonus
$1.1m - $3.0m = $500k
$3.1m - $5.0m = $1.0m
$5.1m - $7.0m = $2.0m
$7.1m - $10.0m = $3.0m
$10.1m - $15.0m = $4.0m
$15.1m or higher = $5.0m
�
IF a team releases a player, they cannot resign that player for a period of 30 days. IF they do, the player�s original contract will be restored.
�
Contract Buyout
For a contract buyout, a GM must pay his bonus salary for the current season, plus all salary bonuses in each year after in the current season. This will allow a GM to not accrue any cap hits for any future years of a forfeited contract. No buyouts allowed once playoffs start.
�
Example: If a team releases Adrian Peterson $18.0m (2014), he is due a signing bonus of $5.0m per year. Therefore, the team must pay his bonus this season ($5.0m) plus his 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 bonuses, a total $20.0m. Therefore, a team may release Adrian Peterson, and not take a cap hit to his contract for any season after the current one if the team pays $20.0m for a contract buyout in 2010.

Extensions
Extensions can only be given in the last season of a player's contract or after the final season of a player's contract before the league rolls over to the next league year.��Salary is based on player's top positional ranking from the last two complete seasons. If in offseason, last two complete seasons and current season if before week 10�of current season, after week 10�of NFL season then it will be last complete season and current season.��Contracts are subject to maximum years and bonus guidelines, as follows:

REGULAR SEASON, PRE-NFL WEEK 10 (Last bye weeks) (2017): 2015 and 2016 rankings are used (Prior 2 seasons)
REGULAR SEASON, AFTER NFL WEEK 10 (2017): 2016 and 2017 rankings are used (so current and 1 yr prior)

Examples - A team wants to extend a QB who is at the end of his contract.��Say he was the #2 Quarterback in 2012 and the #4 Quarterback in 2013.Since his best rank was #2 in 2012, this is the rank that will be used to extend him.��Based on the chart, his yearly salary must be $19m per year.��Based on the maximum contract and bonus guidelines, the team can give him up to a 5 year contract.
