THE AUCTION DRAFT

Owners will have a salary cap of $350, with which to bid on players. At auction, players are signed to a (1) year contract based on their auction price.

Owners must select a roster compliment of fourteen (14) roster positions. No more than 14 roster positions may be drafted.

Owners may select skill players or defensive/special teams as they deem fit (in any order).

You MUST fill the following roster spots:

2 Quarterbacks

3 Running Backs

4 Wide Receivers

1 Swing Player—a running back or wide receiver

2 Tight Ends

1 Kicker

1 Defense/Special Team

Bids must be made in minimum of $1 increments. The highest bidder receives the player. The minimum bid for positions:

$5 for all QB

$4 for all RB

$4 for all WR

$3 for all TE

$3 for all DEF/Special Teams

$2 for all Kickers

Owners may bid any amount they deem necessary. However owners must have the minimum amount available to fill each roster position, without exceeding the salary cap of $350.

No owner may bid for a player who qualifies at a position that the team has already filled. For example, a team that has acquired two quarterbacks may not enter the bidding for any other quarterbacks. Owners also may not bid on players that will force them to exceed the $350 salary cap.

The $350 salary limit pertains to Auction Draft day ONLY. After Auction Draft Day, free agent signings and acquisition through trades of high-priced players may force a team to exceed this limit.

INJURED RESERVE/TRADES/FREE AGENTS

No trades or acquisitions may be reported to the commissioner during Alabama football games.

All fees must be paid within one week of any transaction. You will not be allowed any roster moves if there is an outstanding balance.

The fee paid for free agent players becomes that player’s salary. Players involved in trades retain their original salary.

A player placed on Injured Reserve by his NFL team cannot be acquired as a free agent.

Teams will be allowed, at no charge, to pick up a Kicker and Defense, provided that it is the “off week” for that position.

Each team may place two players on the Injured Reserve list providing that player is listed on the official NFL Injured Reserve List or is listed as “Out” for that week’s game. If that player is listed, send a request to the Commissioner stating which player you would like placed on the IR list. The Commissioner will review the IR list from the NFL and determine if that player is eligible. Once that player is placed on the IR list, that team owner may trade for or acquire through free agency another player. Once that injured player comes off of the official IR list from the NFL, that player must either be added back to your roster or dropped within one week.

Teams are free to make trades of any kind, so long as the rosters of both teams involved in a trade reflect the required position distribution upon completion of the transaction.

Trades must be verified by all parties involved before they are deemed complete. Commissioner approval is required of all trades.

The trade deadline for the season is 12:00 noon on the Wednesday following the 10th week of play.

Offseason trades are allowed without regard to position requirements.

An un-restricted free agent pool will exist until the 12:00 noon on the Wednesday following the 10th week of play. This pool will consist of any NFL player not currently on another Port City League team. These players can be acquired on a “first-come” basis. At the above-mentioned time, the free agent pool becomes restricted. All NFL players dropped by a PC League team after this deadline become frozen in the pool. These players cannot be picked up by any PC League team.

LINEUPS

Team rosters must be turned in by 12 noon each Thursday (by e-mail, phone, or in person). NO Exceptions!!

Player substitutions will be allowed after this, up until 12 noon on the day before that week’s games begin (Saturday for Sunday games) for a fee of $5. There will be NO late subs allowed on weeks with Thursday games.

You will be allowed to choose your offensive set each week. Meaning you can run one of the following offenses:

Pro Set

1 QB

2 RB

2 WR

1 TE

1 Kicker

1 Def/Spec Teams

Spread

1 QB

1 RB

3 WR

1TE

1 Kicker

1 Defense/Spec Teams

Wishbone

1 QB

3 RB

1 WR

1 TE

1 Kicker

1 Defense/Spec Teams

SCORING

See attachment for scoring method. In the event of a tie score, the tiebreaker will be the longest touchdown pass, rush, or reception by a starter (excludes Def/Special Teams score). Our website at NFL.com will allow up to the minute scoring and totals for the year. It is important that you also keep track of your teams scoring in case of an error. Any errors found must be reported by noon on Tuesday…after that the week is closed!

League Champion: 50% of pot and name on trophy

Runner-Up: 30% of pot

Bids must be made in minimum of $1 increments. The highest bidder receives the player. The minimum bid for positions:$5 for all QB$4 for all RB$4 for all WR$3 for all TE$3 for all DEF/Special Teams$2 for all Kickers

This seems silly come late in a draft.

We talked about this before; it is how our league was set up and we find it works best because QB are favored in our scoring system.

How do you determine the cap hit for keepers?

How do you determine the cap hit for keepers?

$200 auction cap here...

The team that wins the Super Bowl can protect ONE player for the following year. The second place team can keep 2 players while the other playoff teams can keep up to 3. All the non-playoff squads can keep up to 4 players.

All players salaries shall increase for the next season as follows, if an owner wishes to protect that player.

Players drafted between $1 -$19 shall increase by $3.

Players drafted between $20 - $29 shall increase by $4

Players drafted for $30 and over shall increase by $5.

We also have no limit to how long an owner can keep a player.

How do you determine the cap hit for keepers?

1st year increase = 10%2nd year increase = 20%

3rd year increase = 30%

4th year increase = 40%

5th year increase = 50%

We only keep players for a maxium of 5 years. The rules I posted are old I have updated them but do not have a updated copy on this PC.
