Auction:
Each team must acquire 23 players at a total cost not to exceed $260(units).
The team bidding first opens with a minimum salary bid of $1 for any eligible player, and the bidding proceeds around the room at minimum increments of $1 until only one bidder is left. That team acquires the player for that amount and announces the roster position the player will fill.
Rosters:
A team's active roster consists of the following:
Five outfielders,
two catchers,
one second baseman,
one shortstop,
one middle infielder (either second baseman or shortstop),
one first baseman,
third baseman,
one corner man (either first baseman or third baseman),
one utility player (who may play any non-pitching position),
and nine pitchers
Position Eligibility
A player may be assigned to any position at which he appeared in 20 or more games in the preceding season or if the player plays a position once in the current season.
The IP Requirement:
A team must pitch a total of 900 innings to receive points in ERA and Ratio.
The AB Requirement:
A team must have 4250 at bats in the season
Trades
Teams are free to make trades of any kind without limit, so long as the active rosters of both teams involved in a trade reflect the required position distribution upon completion of the transaction.
The Reserve List
After the draft the only time you can replace a player off your 23-man roster who is when the player's Major League team:
>placed the player on the disabled
list,
>released him,
>traded him to the AL, or
>send down the player to the minors
To replace such a player, a Rotisserie League team must first release him outright or place him on its reserve list.
The reserved player is removed before the start of the next days games. There is no limit to the number of players a team may have on it's reserve list.
Reserving a player protects a team's rights to the player.
When a player on a reserve list returns to active major league duty, he must
be reinstated to the active 23-man roster of his Rotisserie League team 7 days after his activation or be waived.
A player may not be reinstated until he has been activated by his major league team.
When a player is reinstated to the active 23-man Rotisserie League roster from a team's reserve list, the player originally called up to replace him must be waived, unless
1) The replacement player or the original player be shifted to another opening on the roster for which he qualifies.
2) The players involved are pitchers, than the replacement pitcher can replace any pitcher on the active roster and the pitcher that is being replaced is waived.
It's pretty straight forward, except that you can't drop a position player for no reason, with pitchers it's a little easy.
We try and place more value on the draft.
So if draft Todd Hundley with the thought that he will hit .260 25hr, but by June he's hitting .190, hr-5 and killing your team, your stuck with him unless the Cubs release, trade him to the AL, or place him on the DL.
Your attendance at Draft Day is mandatory (we don't do phone or online drafts).
