Hello All,
Congrats to Justin (NYY) for winning the World Series back to back. For the love of God, can someone please dethrone him next year, his head can only get so big.

Rule V Draft 1st Round - Monday November 6th Noon EST

Rule V Draft 2nd Round - February
Schedule Release - Mid-March
Rosters up to date and in compliance - Before opening day
Opening Day - Thursday March 28th (roster and cap limits must be met)
As a reminder, here are the below rules that were changed before last season:
Season Long Weekly Minimums
Weekly AB/IP minimums of 75 AB and 15 IP will be implemented until a week before the trade deadline, then they will drop to 50 AB and 10 IP for the remainder of the regular season. Missing the weekly minimums will result in the below penalties:
Before the Trade Deadline
You will be fined $7M for not hitting the AB minimum and or $7M the following year for not hitting the IP minimum of 75 AB and 15 IP.
After the Trade Deadline
You will be fined $4M for not hitting the AB minimum and or $4M the following year for not hitting the IP minimum of 50 AB and 10 IP.
Waiver Wire Eligibility
Eligible waiver wire players need to accrue 1PA/.1IP minimum in their MLB career to be claimed. This will allow more teams to acquire players to meet the season long minimum requirement and with the current irrevocable waivers and in-season scale player penalty for cutting them. You can make a conditional drop for a Waiver Wire claim but it MUST be included in the Waiver post.
Draft Lottery Change
To determine the first 8 draft slots for each round, we will now use a draft lottery for the eight teams. We'll take the worst four teams and the first four non-playoff teams and put them in a lottery for the first eight draft slots. The remaining 22 teams will go from worst to best.
Thank you.
ODC Team,

FA is today at noon EST.
Reminder:
Free Agency
Free Agents will be auctioned off, meaning every team has the chance to acquire a free agent. As in an auction, the highest bidder wins. However, to win the auction, your bid must stand the highest for at least 24 hours. The minimum contract length is 1 year. The maximum is 5 years.
Bidding System
Contract years add value based on the following: $1M = 1 point
1 Year = 1X multiplier - 1 Year @ 5 mil = 5 X 1 = 5 pts
2 Year = 1.2X multiplier - 2 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.20 = 6 pts
3 Year = 1.4X multiplier - 3 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.40 = 7 pts
4 Year = 1.6X multiplier - 4 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.60 = 8 pts
5 Year = 1.8X multiplier - 5 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.80 = 9 pts
Remember, the per-year salary over the life of the contract remains constant for ODC-signed players. In other words, no front-loading or back-loading.
You are not allowed to bid more money than you have available to use. If a team has $30M available, it cannot have a winning bid of $25M on 1 player, $4M on another, and $3M on another (total: $32M) all at the same time.
You must place your current outstanding bids and your remaining cap with every bid for it to be valid. Noncompliance will result in an invalid bid.
You may NOT edit a bid outside of adding/correcting cash. You may NOT delete a bid. Editing a bid to invalidate it or deleting a valid bid will result in some currently undetermined punishment. It probably will depend on how much we like you at this second.
Sign-and-Trades
You will be allowed to trade free agents in the first 48 hours after signing them AS LONG AS BOTH TEAMS REMAIN BELOW THE CAP. After that time has passed, signed FA's cannot be traded until the start of the regular season (first day of MLB games). This only applies to off-season acquired Free Agents.

We will be skipping the MLB Korea series and our official opening day will be Thursday March 28th. This will make the Fantrax matchups easier and give teams more time to get under cap and roster limitations.

Reminder about the rules for the new guys and weekly minimums:
40-Man Rosters
On Mondays during the season, every team's 26 man roster is locked after the first pitch is thrown for the week. However, the lineups themselves will not be locked weekly. In-week call-ups are allowed only for injury fill-ins or new acquisitions (e.g. via trade, FA or waivers). There are no restrictions on how your roster is constructed.
Call ups must be from your 40-man roster. Every player on the 40-man roster must be paid.
Waivers
If you have a (1) scale player on your 40 man roster and want to send him to your minors during the season, they will now be exposed to irrevocable waivers, any team will have the option to claim them and the highest waiver wire team will receive that player. During the offseason you’ll be able to send down (1) scale players freely without them being eligible to be claimed. You can make a conditional drop of a player from your 40 man roster to free up roster space and salary when claiming a WW player. This should be posted in your waiver wire claim post, if you otherwise, outside of a conditional drop, do not have the roster space or cash for the won claimed player, your bid will be voided. Once a waiver wire claim is won, that player is added to your 40 man roster.
Scoring
We hold one league on Fantrax. This is where lineups are set and scoring is recorded.
Tie breaker in standings will be head to head record, most overall wins, and then division record.
Each matchup is one week long. There are 21 head-to-head regular season matchups each season.
AB/IP minimums are raised to 75AB/15IP. You will be fined $7M for not hitting the AB minimum and $7M for not hitting the pitching minimums, for a total of up to $14M per week, until weekly minimums are reduced after the trade deadline.
After the trade deadline the AB/IP minimum will be reduced to 50AB/10IP. You will be fined $4M for the following season for not hitting the AB minimum and or $4M for not hitting the IP minimum until the end of our regular season.
Our league is scored head-to-head, with each category scored as a win, loss, or tie. There are fourteen categories. The categories on Fantrax are:
Hitting: HR, RBI, Runs, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG
Pitching: Wins, Ks, QS, ERA, WHIP, Saves, Holds

The first matchup of our season is a 4 day matchup, weekly minimums will not be enforced for that matchup only.

With all the injuries occurring to pitchers and hitters, we'll be lowering weekly minimums this year to 60 ABs and 10 IP per matchup.
The first matchup of the season will not require weekly minimums to be met.

Opening day is here! Please make sure to set your Fantrax rosters and check your matchups to make sure everything is good to go.
Good luck to everyone this year (except the Yankees).

This is a full week matchup - so weekly minimums will be enforced; 60 AB's / 10 IP's

It's been brought up that the current Fantrax rule of locking a players game that was postponed due to weather be removed. I don't see anything wrong with it but wanted to get the overall consensus before we change this rule since it's been implemented for a long time.
