No. There are no salary cap based public leagues this year. The public leagues will use the on-line draft system for player selection.

No. The purchase price of your team is the total price. There are no additional fees for trades or other transactions.

Public Leagues: Player trades between team owners are automatic and require no commissioner approval. Player drops/adds are handled through the Waiver Wire process. Team owners may choose a player to be dropped from their team and immediately pick up a player not currently on the Waiver Wire. In order to pick up a player that is currently on the Waiver Wire, the team owner must select a player to be dropped and request the player from the Waiver Wire. Each week, on Wednesday at 5:00pm Eastern, the Waiver Wire process will run and award players requested based upon the lowest winning percentage. If two team owners request the same player from the Waiver Wire and have the same winning percentage, the total points of each team will be used to determine the team to which the Waiver Wire player is awarded (lowest total year to date points team will be awarded the player). No more than 2 players may be requested from the Waiver Wire for each player designated to be "dropped" from the team owners roster. The player being dropped will remain on your roster until (and if) you are awarded one of the requested Waiver Wire players.

Private Leagues: Player trades between team owners may be automatic or require Commissioner approval based upon league configuration. Add/Drops are configurable by the Commissioner and may be automatic, have a Waiver Wire period of x days from the date the player is dropped from the team, or have a Waiver Wire specific date and additional rules such as the number of players requested per player to be dropped and the maximum number of requests per week. Please check with your Commissioner regarding specific trade and add/drop restrictions.

NOTE: Waiver Wire processing may result in invalid rosters and starting lineup changes. Team Owners must resolve any roster errors and lineup changes prior to the deadline for roster lineups for each week.

The roster limits for the public leagues are as follows:

Position	Min	Max	Start
QBs	1	3	1
RBs	2	4	2
WRs	2	4	2
TEs	1	3	1
Ks	1	2	1
DTs	1	2	1

All public leagues will use the following scoring system:

Offensive Scoring

1 point for every 10 yards of rushing

1 point for every 10 yards of receiving

1 point for every 20 yards of passing

4 points for every TD pass

6 points for every rushing or receiving TD

1 point for every extra point

3 points for every field goal

2 points for passing, rushing or receiving on a 2 point conversion

Defensive Scoring

10 points for allowing 7 or fewer points by opposition

8 points for allowing 10 or fewer points by opposition

6 points for allowing 13 or fewer points by opposition

4 points for allowing 16 or fewer points by opposition

2 points for allowing 20 or fewer points by opposition

0 points for allowing more than 20 points

Note: Only 1 of the above point categories will be awarded per game. The points are not cummulative. For example, if the opposing team scores 12 points your DT would be awarded 6 points not 24.
