Postseason

6 team top bracket

Keepers

Yes, you could theoretically keep your entire team year-after-year (for 3 years), but your cost (if getting all $1 players) would look like this: $22, $127, $232. Ex: If Trout was drafted at $10 (highly unlikely), the following year his keeper cost would be $15, year2, $20, year3 $25, year4 he goes back into the auction pool.

Note: If a team's keeper cost exceeds their available funds (including unfilled positions), the most expensive player will be dropped prior to auction. This will repeat as necessary.

Keeper Trades

The cost of a player follows them through a trade, along with their keeps-count.

Free Agent Pickups

FA's keep their same-year auction cost as a base cost for calculating keepers. Undrafted players have a $1 base cost. The number of keeps stays with a player until they enter a draft.

Trades

Most trades are allowed, and facilitated directly by Yahoo.

Off-Season trades

Follow the same rules as in-season trades, however, as Yahoo will not facilitate these trades messages must be sent to the group confirming.

Trade Blackouts

Important Dates

Draft Day

Draft day and time shall be determined by consensus (an acceptable resolution, one that can be supported, even if not the "favorite" of each individual) no later than March 1. In the event that consensus cannot be reached, the commissioner will do his/her best to select a day & time amenable to the most possible

Keeper deadline

Keepers are due by EOD 1 week prior to the draft

Dues Deadlines

Dues must be paid prior to keeper selection. Late penalty of $3 per day (auction dollars)

Teams with unpaid dues will be unable to make trades or FA moves

Returning Owners

To provide enough time to find a replacement, any owner not participating in the upcoming season has until Feb 15 to notify the commissioner

Dues

Dues are $25 per team

The final $25 is to cover the cost of adding the winner's name to the trophy and goes to the person performing this duty

Misc

If you trade any future $ away, you are on the hook for the next season entry fee. This is to keep out of the situation where draft$ is traded away and the manager leaves, putting the inheriting manager in a hole.
