Returning Managers
As commissioners, we reserve the right NOT to extend an invitation to (or
remove) any manager for any reason. Primary reason for being excluded would be
abusive behavior, purposeful rules violations (ie
colluding on a trade), inactivity (ie leaving
injured/OUT players in as starters or not actively trying to improve your
team), not participating in league business or repeated delays/unresponsive, or
failure to pay your share of league fees. If an owner is removed or NOT invited
back, a new owner will be recruited to take over the vacated team in its exact
state. All monies will be forfeited.
Activity/Unforeseen Circumstances
Activity will be monitored. Every team and circumstance is different. Not every
team will want to change their lineup every day or be able to respond to every
trade or answer emails immediately. Not every manager will make as many
transactions (add/drops or trades) as others. Albeit, if we notice some time of
inactivity or it is brought to our attention, we will address it. Please
understand that we are trying to work with you to resolve the issue. You are
expected to respond to all trades/emails in a timely manner whenever possible.
You are also expected to keep healthy and competitive players who are playing
in your active lineup. Activity on our threads in the Rotoguru boards and on our league site are
encouraged and required at times for league business, including rules
discussions, drafts, etc. Should unforeseen scenarios arise,
the commissioners will use their best judgment to settle any matters in the
best interest of the league.
Trade Policy
If there are 7 votes against the trade it will be sent to the commishs to be vetoed. There will be a min. of one full day
to vote before the trade will be approved if the max objections are not
reached. Everyone will be emailed by ESPN automatically as soon as the trade is
accepted so they may review it. Make sure your email notifications are set up!
Please check the site daily. Trades involving draft picks/prospects will be
listed in the trade and can also be posted on our league's bulletin board
and/or our thread at rotoguru.com. Note that off-season and pre-season (before
draft is complete) trades will still be approved by the commishs.
Keepers
There will be 9 players available to be kept heading into the season. You will
have a deadline to post your keepers. You may change your keepers up until the
deadline.
2011 PRIZE
There are 19 of 20 people in the prize pool @ $15
each. That means there is $285 to distribute. Teams are required to always be
in it or out of it once they committed to it in 2005. These will be the
payouts: 1st $110; 2nd 65; 3rd 45; 4th 30; 5th 20; 6th 15. If a non-participant
places 1st-6th, his money will be reallocated so there is always a 100% payout.
1st-5th place will be moved up a spot in the prize money and the 6th place $15
will go to the treasury to help defray dues costs to all. Dues are used to pay
for the league champion trophy and draft.
Supplemental Draft, FA Pickups and Waivers
The Draft will be held prior to every season after
Keepers are announced. A "NBA style" lottery will determine the top
three selections. Picks 4 - 20 and all picks in subsequent rounds will be in
inverse order of previos year's finish and will not
snake.
Players must be available in the ESPN player pool to be drafted or added during
the season via FA or WW. No amateur player may be drafted or picked up via FA
or WW if the player in question still has amateur status or is a prospect.
Also, if a player is drafted in the June MLB draft, he may not be picked up
until after our Prospect Draft that year. No draft-eligible prospect will be
allowed to be picked-up after the Sunday freeze before the All-Star break until
after the prospect draft concludes.
There is a 3 hour per draft pick time limit and a cumulative time limit of 12
hours. (Subject to change). You may not exceed 23
players. You may not drop a player (or add a non-drafted player if you are
short) until waivers have been turned on. You may trade for extra picks and you
may trade your excess picks as long as it is done before the preceeding pick has been made. If you make a duplicate
pick, the draft will continue and you may correct that pick at any time. Once
you have been skipped, you will continue to be skipped until you are caught up.
If a clock runs out, the next person on the clock will be charged for any time
before his pick. If you are skipped due to a pick or c clock, you may still
post your selection at any time.
Waivers will begin the season in the same order as the supplemental draft.
Lottery picks and traded draft picks will not be considered when determining
the waiver order.
Prospect Rules
Prospect Draft: will be held beginning on the Monday of the MLB All-Star break.
Drafts will be in inverse order of the current standings one week before the
ASB and will not snake. A "NBA style" lottery will determine the top
three selections. Picks 4 - 20 and all picks in subsequent rounds will be in
inverse order and will not snake. Players will be selected on our thread at
rotoguru.com if possible. If that site is down, our draft will continue on the
bulletin board of our page if we have knowledge of all picks selected
previously. Ties will be broken by a dice roll. There will be up to 3 rounds.
A draft-eligible prospect is defined as a hitter that has less than 150 AB or a
pitcher with less than 55 IP or 20 GP and has not been on your active roster
within one week prior to the draft. They do not need to be in the ESPN player
database, but can not be still in high school/college, etc. They need to either
be on a pro team, drafted by a team, or a current free agent/professional
Japanese or Cuban player.
There will be a 3 hour per pick clock and a 4 hour cumulative clock to draft.
If you are skipped, you may make your selection at any time. Time will not
accrue from
Managers may call-up and then send down their prospect up to two times without
losing their rights as a prospect as long as that player has not hit the
maximum ABs/IP/GP threshold. Once a commish allows the call-up, he will add the number of times
that player has been called-up next to his name in the Prospect List below. At
the end of the season, all prospects on the roster will be considered optioned
so they won't have to be counted as a keeper so long as they have not hit their
threshold. Before a commish will option or send-down
a prospect, he will look at the stats for that player including games played
that day if the lineup freeze has passed. If a prospect is renounced or hits
his threshold while on your roster (called up), his name will be removed from
your prospect list.
All prospects are listed below. It is each manager's responsibility to alert a commish when your prospect is entered into the ESPN
database so an email alert can be attached.
Before the season at the keeper deadline and then again at the prospect keeper
draft deadline, 7 days before the draft (8 days before the ASG), all hitters
must have less than 300 ABs and pitchers less than
110 IP or 40 GP or they must be moved to your active roster or released.
Managers must monitor their own prospects. If they are later
to have found to be over the max. at that
deadline, the player will be immediately removed as a prospect and put on
waivers.
At the prospect draft keeper deadline, all managers must have no more than 3
keepers on their prospect list. They may keep all three or none as long as none
have been traded, (see below) but they will only get as many draft picks as it
takes to max their prospects at three, barring a trade.
Prospect draft picks are assigned after your prospect keepers are announced. So
if you have 3 prospect keepers, you don't have a prospect draft pick to trade.
You may trade a pick at any time, but if you have traded a prospect draft pick,
you may only declare two keepers. If you've traded two picks, you can only keep
one and if you've traded all three, you may keep none. Once prospects have been
declared and draft picks assigned, a manager may again exceed three prospects
via trade.
