Waiver Wire/Trades/Free Agency

• All transactions must be confirmed by the Commissioner in consultation with the
Advisory Board.
• Final transactions will be posted under the transactions tab.
• Trades will clear immediately and will be done so in the GM chat. ALL TRANSACTIONS
ARE FINAL. However, if a trade goes through and a player quits on a new team, the
trade is VOID. So come to a mutual agreement that you are happy with.
• GMs must put a waiver claim for any Free Agent. The waiver wire has a priority rotation
like a fantasy league. It will be the reverse of the draft order.
• For the waiver wire teams will be in order. If team 1 and team 2 put in a claim at the
same time and in they are in the order of 1-10 then team 2 would fall to 10 and team 1
would be 9.
• Waiver wire order spots cannot be traded.
• If a claim is unsuccessful or unused your order on the wire does not change.
• A GM can put in multiple claims in order of priority. If the Gm’s first pick is already
claimed, then it would automatically go to the second pick and so on.
• GMs must tag the Commissioner in your team chat or dm them with the name of the
Free Agent you want to claim. If you have multiple claims list them in the order that you
want them. All waivers must be submitted on either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday
between the hours of 4pm – 4pm. Waivers clear after 24 hours.
• If a team releases a player, he or she will become a Free Agent.
• 2 PLAYERS MAX CAN BE RELEASED DURING THE WEEK ON EITHER MONDAY,
WEDNESDAY OR FRIDAY!
• GMs cannot waive a player until they have completed one full week. A league week is
from Monday to Sunday.
• Players can veto any trades so long as majority of the team agrees. (THE SQUAD RULE)
• No trade transactions can be made after the deadline! The deadline will be the end of
week 3!

locked! If a team has only 5 players during playoffs due to players leaving, they will be
given a special waiver wire to meet roster minimum.
