The Rules
Roster Positions PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
Standard max games played is 82 per position.

The off-season
I. Following the end of the season or prior to the next seasons’ auction, owners may extend a “qualifying offer” to 1 of their players. This gives them the right to see the highest bid for that particular player in the upcoming draft, and then match if they wish to.
II. Following the end of the season or prior to the next seasons’ auction, owners may extend a “Sleeper Contract” to 1 of their players. This player will be kept for the next season at $1.6 mil. Sleeper contracts can only be awarded to players who were valued at $1.5m or less at auction the previous year or FA acquisitions during the season.
III. Players going into the second year of Team, Development or Sleeper contracts are removed from the draft pool, and their “cost” is subtracted from the 50mil budget before the draft.
The draft
I. Every team begins the draft with a “budget” (or salary cap) of 50 million.
II. Players on qualifying offers will be auctioned in their own group and independent of Free agents. Managers will make blind bids on all QO players in the group. A manager may match the highest bid on their player. Any player not accepted by the current manager will be won by the owner of the highest bid. Only the highest bidder is relevant. A manager cannot win more than 2 players. Any players not won are no longer QO players and will enter the next auction group with other Free Agents. Assuming the possibility a manager will win 2 players in the group, the maximum bid will be in line with your remaining budget and players to be drafted . For example, if you have 10 players left to draft and $40m budget remaining, you can make a maximum bid of $18m / player allowing the minimum $500k for the remaining 8 players..
III. Free agents will be auctioned off in 12 set groups. 6 groups of 6 players, then 8 groups of 8 players. Managers submitting blind bids for any or all players in each group. Managers can only win one player each round.
IV. Groups after round 15 will be nomination rounds. Managers with roster spots still to fill will nominate free agents not previously auctioned.
V. If you have the highest bid for a particular player, the amount you submitted is what you’ll pay. So, if you offered 18 million for Chris Paul, and the next highest bid is 9 million, you will still pay 18m, not 9.5m or 10m
VI. An owner cannot successfully bid on more than one player in any group. So, even if you had the highest bid on both Cousins and Favors, if they are in the same group, you will only get one of them – specifically, the player that you bid more for.
VII. The minimum bid allowed for any player is half a million.
VIII. Each team will be required to draft 15 players.
IX. Once the draft is completed, owners are allowed to nominate players who they wish to grant a “Team Contract”. These players will be kept for the next season at exactly the same price. Team contracts can only be awarded to players who were not contracted the previous season. Those teams finishing in the bottom half of the final standings of the previous season may allocate 3 Team Contracts, those teams in finishing in the top half may allocate 2.
X. Once the draft is completed, owners are also allowed to nominate players who they wish to grant a “Development Contract”. These players may be kept for the next season at this seasons’ price plus 25%. All teams may allocate 4 Development Contracts.
The season
I. Standard 9-category roto scoring, free Yahoo! League.
II. Moves restricted to 20 for the season - It is the commish’s belief that leagues should be won through good drafting and trading, not by being the quickest to pounce on every available free agent.
III. Waiver wire waiting period will be 1 day.
IV. Trades will be made independent of “budget” implications – but note that Team and Development Contracts will carry over to the off-season and remain associated with players regardless of team changes or trades. If players are dropped to free agency, contracts are no longer valid. Players on Team contracts can only be dropped prior to the All-star break
