2015 Rules

1. Season: Season based on year that Championship game/series occurs.
2. Rosters: Each GM has 20 roster slots with one spot dedicated to each sport
and 6 slots open to any sport. Roster spots may be left open at any time.
1. Tennis/Golf: You do not have to use the same player throughout the
year. 2 players used in the same tournament will require 2 roster spots,
but waivering/trading players for each tournament is allowed and the
scores will be combined. If using multiple roster spots, GM must declare
which spot a newly acquired player will be in. GM's cannot use the same
player in multiple spots, unless 2 or more rostered players have been
used in the same spot. In that case, order is determined by the highest
ranked player at the time of acquisition going into the roster spot with
the most points. EX: I have Tiger and Phil for The Masters, then trade
them both for Rory and Scott prior to US Open. I must declare which
players will be combined before the event. I choose Tiger/Scott &
Phil/Rory. For the British Open, I trade Rory for Tiger and drop Scott for
Stenson, making the combo Tiger/Scott/Tiger & Phil/Rory/Stenson. Then
I claim Scott for PGA, keeping Tiger & Stenson. At time of claim,
rankings are: #1-Scott, #3-Tiger, #7-Stenson. Combo becomes
Tiger/Scott/Tiger/Scott, Phil/Rory/Stenson/Tiger, Stenson.
2. Injured Reserve: Each GM will have one IR spot per individual sport
(MT, WT, PGA). If a player withdraws from an event prior to the start for
any reason, GM may move the player to IR and claim a new player. This
will not cost a waiver claim, but the replacement player will be
automatically dropped at the end of the tournament.
3. Entry Fee: League A: $200 League B: $225 Payment due by Dec1st, 2014.
Late payment may result in single sport disqualification(s).
4. Scoring: Points awarded to top 8 of each sport. 8 points for winning the
league, 5 points for runner-up, 3 points for reaching the semifinals, and 1 point
for reaching the quarterfinals. See individual sport for details. If an NCAA
team is later stripped of a top 8 finish due to team/player/school violations,
points will stand.
1. College Football: Top 4 teams will be determined by playoffs. The 4
highest ranked teams in the final AP Poll not in the playoffs will each get
1 point.
2. Tennis: Tennis-only points are awarded for each of the 4 Grand Slam
Events, immediately after the tournament. 1st=8, 2nd=5, SF=3, QF=1. If
a top 8 seed loses in the 1st or 2nd round = -2 points. Tennis points will
be tallied individually, to a specific roster spot. If a player is traded or
dropped, the GM retains any points they have earned. EX: I have
Djokovic who wins the Aussie Open, scoring me 8 pts. I trade him for
Nadal prior to the French Open. Nadal wins, so I now have 16 pts. If I
had kept Djokovic and traded for Nadal prior to the French Open, then
Nadal beats Djokovic, I would have 13 pts for my first Tennis spot
(Djokovic Aussie W + FO 2nd place) and 8 pts for my second spot (Nadal
FO W). League pts awarded to top 8 total scores (GM may have multiple
places in the top 8. GM must score at least 1 point to be eligible).
3. Golf: Golf-only points are awarded for each of the 4 majors, immediately
after the tournament: 1st=50, 2nd=40, 3rd-35th=37,36,35...6,5, 36th40th =3, made cut =1, missed cut= -5. Golf points will be tallied
individually, to a specific roster spot. If a player is traded or dropped, the
GM retains any points they have earned. EX: I have Tiger and Phil. Tiger
wins the Masters (50pts) and Phil finishes 11th (29pts). I keep Tiger but
drop Phil and Tiger wins the US Open. I now have 100pts for Tiger and
still have 29pts for Phil. Prior to the British Open, I pick up Rory and still
have Tiger. Rory wins and Tiger misses the cut. I now have 95 pts for
Tiger and 79 pts combined for Phil/Rory. Following the four majors
League points will be awarded to top 8 total scores. Each GM may have
multiple places in the top 8. GM must score at least 1 pt to be
eligible.
4. Tennis/Golf League Points: Players may be dropped and traded
throughout the year, resulting in multiple players earning points. Rosters
will lock after the final major's deadline and in order for league points to
be earned, a roster spot must be occupied by that sport. Ex: If I have
Djokovic and Nadal and they finish first and second in tennis, I must have
2 roster spots occupied by men's tennis players in order to earn league
points. If I traded or dropped one of them and filled the roster spot with
a different sport, I would only earn league points for one player.
5. Tie Breakers: Individual Sport: Points awarded evenly to tied
GM's. Money split for 1st or 2nd place tie. League: GM's will split the
winnings evenly. Relegation: See Below.
5. Payout: (assumes 14 in A, 10 in B)
1.League A:
4th: $280
1st: $955
5th: $195
2nd: $710
1st Place Sport: $25
3rd: $420
2nd Place Sport: $10
2.League B:
4th: $195.
1st: $705
1st Place Sport: $20,
2nd: $415
2nd Place Sport: $10.
3rd: $295
3. Single Sport Payouts: If an un-owned team finishes 1st or 2nd, money

goes into league pot. If GM's tie, money is split evenly.
6. Waiver Wire: Originally set by reverse draft order. A successful claim drops
you to the bottom. All non-rostered teams are on waivers. Waiver claims are
made by emailing the Commish, who will notify the league. There will be a 3day waiting period where any other GM may claim the team. At the end of the
3-day period, the GM with the highest waiver priority takes the team and must
drop another team. Waiting Period is waived for College Basketball, College
Hockey, Kentucky Derby and LLWS. Due to the conference tournaments
ending just before CBB and CHK brackets are announced, there will be no
waiver period on claims in CBB and CHK. Instead, we will have a 1 week
quiet period prior to the deadline. Extra draft picks at the end of KD & LLWS
may be claimed on a first come basis. Claims will not be announced to the
league and will process at the deadline based on waiver position. Golf/Tennis:
GMs do NOT receive credit for points earned in tournaments prior to waiver
pickup. Teams may be dropped without a pick-up, leaving an open roster spot
to be filled later. One roster spot must be dedicated to each sport.
1. Waiver Deadline: See each sport for waiver deadlines. After the
deadline NO TEAMS may be claimed or dropped from roster, except for
late drops. After the deadline, there will be a an email sent with teams
that were dropped last minute or dropped after a successful claim and
GM's will have an opportunity to claim them. This eliminates holding a
team until the last minute to keep others from claiming. This also allows
a GM that put in a claim, but was trumped by a higher waiver to claim
another team.
7. Trades: Trades are submitted to Commish and if eligible, presented to the
league. There will be a 3-day voting period needing A-8, B-6 Yes votes to pass.
A no-response during the voting period will be considered an approval. Once a
trade is submitted for Commish approval, the involved GM's are agreeing to
the trade and may not make changes or vote against it unless all involved
agree.
1. Golf/Tennis: Points already earned by players that are traded stay with
the former GM. Future Round Draft Picks may be traded, but only for the
adjacent season's draft and must be 1:1 (GM-A trades 1st round pick to
GM-B for team and 5th round pick.)
2. Trade Deadline: See each sport for trade deadlines. After the deadline
NO TEAMS may be traded.
Future Round Draft Picks: Deadline for trading draft picks is 7:00
pm August 31st, 2014.
8. Draft: Draft order determined using http://www.random.org/lists. Conducted

via email in Snake style. For leagues that have a smaller number of teams
(e.g. KD, LLWS, MLS), every member must be able to draft a team from a
league. Once the limit has been reached, only members without a team from
that league will be allowed to draft from that sport. Once a draft pick has been
emailed to the league, it cannot be changed.
1. Kentucky Derby: The draft for the Kentucky Derby will be held in May
once the field is announced. During the July draft, you will be selecting a
draft position rather than an actual horse. (For example, you may use
your 4th round selection for the first pick in the Kentucky Derby draft).
Draft limited to 18 horses in case of a late scratch, GM will be able to
replace horse. If a horse is scratched after being drafting, a replacement
may be picked at the completion of the draft and it will NOT count as a
waiver claim. If multiple horses are scratched, replacements are chosen
in original draft order.
2. LLWS: The draft for the LLWS will begin August 10th, after the regional
winners are set.. During the July draft, you will be selecting a draft
position rather than an actual team (For example, you may use your 4th
round selection for the first pick in the LLWS draft). There are only 16
teams in the LLWS.
9. Relegation: Based on League Points, the bottom 4 GMs in A will be relegated
to League B and the top 4 GMs in B will move up to A. Because relegation and
the 2015 draft will take place prior to the end of the MLB season, we will use
the MLB regular season standings at the end of the day on the day of the US
Open Mens final. This is for relegation purposes only. League points will still
be based on the playoffs. For relegation, points will be awarded based on
the following:
8 pts: Best Overall Record
5 pts: Best Overall Record in other league
3 pts: 2nd Best Record in each league:
1 pt: 3rd division leader + best overall record of non-division
leader. If top 2 teams are in same division, then 1 point to other 2
division leaders.
2. TIEBREAKERS:
MLB: Run Differential, Record in September, Head-to-Head
Record, Coin Flip
LEAGUE: # of championships, # of teams scoring league points,

lowest drafted team to score a league point (excludes waiver claims
and trades).
3. DRAFT PICK TRADES: If relegation results in GMs that traded draft
picks in different leagues, the traded picks will take place at the end
of the round. EX: I trade my 1st round pick away and get a 10th round
pick in return and I get relegated to B. The GM I traded with would get
my 1st round pick at the end of the 1st round. I would get the 10th
round pick I traded for at the end of the 10th round. If both teams
involved in the trade stay in the same league, or both get relegated, they
would swap actual picks. If multiple GMs have supplemental picks, the
order will be in reverse of the picks in that round.
4. If a GM gets relegated from A to B, but finishes in the money in League A
after actual MLB results are recorded, that GM will automatically move up
to A the following season as the #1 team, regardless of actual position
in B. If a top a GM finishes in the top 10 in A, but does not play the
following season, the 11th place GM will remain in A and a new GM will
be added to B.
