If a GM misses 3 exports in a row, he will receive a $100,000 fine.
If a GM misses 4 exports in a row, he will receive a $250,000 fine.
If a GM misses 5 exports in a row, he will be removed from the league.
If a Sim is interrupted because a player was left on DFA with (0) days remaining, the GM will be fined $250,000.

The following steps will be used in order for the player(s) involved:
1. The player will be placed in AAA.
2. If a player needs to be placed on the 40-man roster to be assigned to AAA and there is no room on the 40-man roster, the player will be released.
3. If the player refuses assignment to AAA, the player will be placed on the Active Roster. If there is no room on the Active Roster, the Player will then be released.

You must maintain a 25-man roster of at least 23 players, if you fail to do so you will receive a $250,000 fine and will continue to do so after each Sim until you bring that number back up to at least 23 players.

After a player is completely healed and has (0) days left, he must be removed from the DL before the following Sim. If you fail to do so you will receive a $250,000 fine and will continue to do so for every Sim the player remains on the DL.

You must use at least a 5-man rotation through the regular season (only exception is September), if you fail to do so you will receive a $250,000 fine and will continue to do so for every Sim the rotation remains illegal.

If you go two weeks without checking into the Forum you will appear on AWOL. You will then receive a $250,000 fine and will continue to do so for every Sim that you remain on AWOL.

The maximum number of years you may sign a player to a contract to is 6 years. Unless he requests more and then you may only offer the number of years he is asking.

These number of days these are set to is equal the length of two Sims, which is generally 14 days. Meaning that you will always have a chance to pull back a Player with Revocable Waivers.

1. Lowest Level Teams get priority on the Players, which will then be decided by record from the previous season until we get 30 games into the current season, then it will be decided by current record.
2. If two teams with the same record in the same Level claim the same Player, the priority will be determined by last years record, then randomly.
3. Claimed Players will be put on the proper Team after the next Sim if he is not pulled back (an option with Revocable Waivers) by the Team waiving him.

There will be three Waiver Periods as follows (League Dates):

1) March 3rd to June 1st
2) June 2nd to July 27th (Trade Deadline)
3) July 28th to March 2nd (Pre-Season)

During a Waiver Period, if a player clears Waivers, the team has secured waivers on that player for the rest of the Waiver Period. Meaning that the player does not have to clear Waivers again for the rest of the Waiver Period. In order for that players Waivers to remain secured you must leave him on the team Waiver list when his status is listed as CLEARED Waivers.

The player will not appear on the League Waiver Wire if his Status on the team Waiver List is CLEARED Waivers. If you do remove the player from the team Waiver list and then try to send the player to AAA or put him on DFA, he will have to pass through Waivers again.

Every player who’s status is CLEARED Waivers will be removed from the team Waiver List on the last day of reach Waiver Period.

*This rule does not apply to players who have Minor League Option years remaining. They can be freely moved from League to League without having to pass through Waivers.

One team posts the trade in the Completed Trades section in the Forum and the other replies with confirmation. The trade will then be processed after the next Sim. Please post the players position, full name, and current league level.

2. You may only add to your Payroll the amount shown as the '$ available for player or staff signings' in the Owner Comments area of your team Front Office Page.
3. Any Free Agent (signed to a Major League Contract) or Waiver Claim acquired in the Off-Season cannot be traded until 7.06.08 (League Date).
4. Any Free Agent (signed to a Major League Contract) or Waiver Claim acquired during the Regular Season cannot be traded until the Off-Season.
5. Cash may be traded for Players.
6. Trades may be made with any Team in the league

The First Year Player Draft (10 Rounds) will be conducted via the Forum and will run concurrently with the Off-Season Free Agency Period.

GM's will draft the first 5 rounds and AI will select the last 5 rounds.
I will put up a Draft schedule in the Forum a few days before the start of the draft.
Each GM will have a 5 hour time limit to make a selection.
If your time limit has passed, AI will make a selection for you.
You may send the Commish a list if you will not be around to make your selection.
A separate league file will be used for the draft which will be updated after every round.

The Rule 5 Draft will take place on December 1st in-game. It will be done via list sent to the Commish by PM (private message) through the Forum. You must have room on your Secondary (40-man) Roster in order to participate in the Draft. If you do select someone, the player has to remain on your 25-man Roster the entire upcoming Season.
