VII - Schedule

Teams will set there rosters weekly starting on Mondays. Rosters must be in by 12PM on mondays.

VIII - Keepers-

All players on a team's roster at the end of the season will be eligible to be kept. Each team gets one pick per round unless they accumulate more through trades. Each team may then elect to give up a draft pick in order to keep a player. The player's "draft value" will determine which pick a team will have to give up.

Draft Value Breakdown

Any player retained from a previous year - his "draft value" will be divided by 2 (rounding up - ie a dv of 3 becomes 2 the next year).

Any player actually drafted that season - his dv will be equal to the round he is drafted in.

Players who have no DV may also be kept. They can be slotted anywhere between 1-15. They can also be slotted in the first open round from round 15 through 27. They may not be slotted in a round later than the 15th if a round between that round and the 15th is open.

IX - Winnings

$2 for winning an individual week
25% of the remaining pot for finishing first in the first half of the season (determined by the All-Star Break)
50% of the remaining pot for finishing in first for the year
2% of the remaining pot for winning an individual statistical catagory
2.5% of the remaining pot for winning the batting/pitching catagories

X - Minor Leaguers

Keeping Minor Leaguers

If a minor leaguer was actually drafted, then his dv will remain per the dv rules. If a minor leaguer is picked up via free agency. he may be retained without a dv if the following is true:

a. He is still on a minor league roster at the end of the MLB season.
b. If he was not called up before August 15th in any way that season.
c. If a batter has less than 100 ABs, starting pitcher with less than 10 starts, or a relief pitcher with less than 30 innings. The gray area is if a pitcher has appeared in more than 15 games he will not be eligible.
