NFBC Cutline Championship FAAB Deadline: Monday 10 ET
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2017 9:33 am
Just a reminder that the first of two FAAB deadlines in the NFBC Cutline Championship is Monday, April 10th at 10 pm ET. Here are the deadlines for the two FAAB periods:
Monday, April 10, 10 pm ET: FAAB runs and rosters expand from 38 to 40 players
Monday, June 5, 10 pm ET: FAAB runs and rosters expand from 40 to 42 players
You are allowed to add two players this week without cutting anyone, while still cutting other players with new pickups. There is no limit on how many pickups you can make as long as you don't spend more than $1,000 over the two FAAB periods. When picking up two new players, just leave the Player Cut field blank. The system will know that you can legally make those two moves. Hope this helps.
Okay, here's the text from the Rules page to bring you up to speed on this unique FAAB period. Good luck all.
3. Drafts and Free Agents
Each league will consist of 10 teams participating in a 38-round draft. Rosters will expand to 42 players per team through only TWO FAAB periods during the course of the season.
Each team will have a free agent acquisition budget of $1000, but there will be only two free agent periods during the regular season and none during the championship playoff. Free agency will run on the following nights:
FAAB 1: Monday, April 10 (expands rosters to 40 players)
FAAB 2: Monday, June 5 (expands rosters to 42 players)
The first free agent period will be during Week 2, followed by the last and only other FAAB period on June 5. Players will be allowed to pick up as many free agents each time as they’d like, with 2 pickups being allowed without cutting a player during both periods. If an owner picks up less than 2 players during the first FAAB period, they have the right to expand to the roster limit in the final FAAB period. At no time can any team have more than the required number of players allowed on its roster.
Any player who is not on a team roster within your league and is on a major league roster or once was on an NFBC team in your league is considered a free agent for that league. Even players on the MLB disabled list are eligible to be picked up during the FAAB bidding process. The player pool is deemed closed of new free agents each Sunday of the weekly FAAB deadline at 7 AM ET and a player must have played at least 1 MLB game to be added to the pool at that time. Once a minor-leaguer plays his first game in the majors, he remains in every NFBC FAAB pool whether he returns to the minors or not. Once in the majors, he remains in all FAAB pools. Participants should also note that MLB unsigned veteran free agents at the time of Draft Day are eligible to be picked up or bid on in all NFBC leagues.
Free Agent Bidding Process: The free agent system will be a "blind bidding" process for each individual league. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent "dollars" for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents two times per year with a minimum bid of $1 per player. Teams will not be able to see other teams' free agent bids. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team's free agent dollars. JUST FOR THE NFBC CUTLINE: Owners will be allowed to add 2 free agents without cutting a player during each of the two FAAB periods, and can add additional pickups by cutting players on their current roster. If a team's free agent dollars go to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's available free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents). Only winning bids and the runner-up bids on each player will be shown after the FAAB bidding period for each NFBC league.
Bidding Time Frame: The NFBC bidding process starts the week before Opening Day and runs for the first time on Monday, April 10. FAAB will run one more time on Monday, June 5. There are no additional FAAB pickups in the playoffs. Bids will be accepted on the league website from Tuesday at 3 PM ET until the day of the deadline at 10 PM ET in each of those weeks. Rosters will be updated shortly after 10 PM ET on Monday with the results of all successful bids.
First and Last Free Agent Bidding Deadlines: The first free agent bidding deadline is Monday, April 10, at 10 PM ET. The last free agent bidding deadline is on Monday, June 5th at 10 pm ET.
Conditional Bids: Conditional bids can also be offered. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Bids do not require conditional bids. Bids may have several sequential conditional bids. Participants should note that the computer takes the HIGHEST BIDS and processes each bid in that order if you have multiple FAAB acquisition bids. ALL BIDS WILL BE PROCESSED IN THE ORDER OF DOLLAR VALUE ASSIGNED TO THOSE FREE AGENTS, highest to lowest.
Example:
Acquire Aaron Judge, $19, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Brett Phillips, $16, cut Jorge Soler
Acquire Steven Moya, $2, cut Jorge Soler
Number of Bids Limit: There is no limit to the number of bids that may be submitted each week in which bids are permitted.
Tied Bids: If there is a tie bid during the season, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by
Worst league standing at the time FAAB was run (Sunday night using Saturday's standings).
Lowest standing the previous week.
Lowest draft position from Draft Day.
Any tied bids during the first FAAB period will be given to the team with the lowest draft order from Draft Day, whether there were a few games played before then or not.
Monday, April 10, 10 pm ET: FAAB runs and rosters expand from 38 to 40 players
Monday, June 5, 10 pm ET: FAAB runs and rosters expand from 40 to 42 players
