Overview
1.
Franchise Players
a.
Each team is built around two Franchise Players, one from each unit (offense
& defense).
b.
Each Franchise gets to select one player from each unit per squad to be the
Franchise Player.
c. The
Franchise Player does not count against salary cap and is UNTOUCHABLE by other
teams.
d.
Contracted players may not be franchised.
e.
Teams can lose one or both of these due to penalties. This is the only
reason a team would start a season with less than this number of keepers.
2.
Restricted Free Agents (RFAs)
a.
Since we only have two true keepers per team, each team gets four (4)
restricted free agent tags- Two (2) per unit (offense and defense) to use on up
to two players on each unit.
b.
Teams can use one tag on two different players, or two tags on one player. This
is known as double tagging and is explained below.
c.
Teams can lose these tags due to penalties. This is the only reason a
team would start a season with less than this number of RFA tags.
B.
Designation of Franchise Keepers & RFAs
1.
Tagging: Each February (the specific date to be determined by the
commissioner), teams will submit a list of their Franchise players and their
Restricted Free Agents.
2.
Publication of official RFA list: Once all of the tagged players have
been received by the Commissioner’s Office, that list will be made public to
the league.
3.
Waiver of RFA tag:
a.
Should any team feel they do not have a player worth tagging, they are not
required to use their tags.
b.
Example: Team A has LB Ray Lewis and nobody else on defense. They could
Franchise Lewis, and then decide that none of their defensive players are worth
the minimum $1 million salary that a RFA tag carries. There is no penalty for
not using a tag.
C.
Restricted Free Agency
1. Overview
a.
Objective of RFAs: The object of a RFA is to
"semi-protect" a player to give each franchise an opportunity to keep
a couple more players, and still allow some of the top talent in the NFL be
available each year.
b. All RFAs will be available
to others on an open market via a live online auction during Restricted Free
Agency.
c. Teams losing players in this auction will be
compensated for having to give up their RFA(s).
d. RFA Tag Minimum salaries:
(1). By using an RFA tag on a
player, the team is agreeing to the following minimum bids:
(a). Single-tagged players: Bidding for single-tagged players
will start at $1 million
(b).
Double-tagged players: Bidding for double-tagged players will start at $2
million.
(2). In the event of no bids: Should no competitive
bids be placed on a specific Restricted Free Agent, he is returned to his
original team at that minimum bid price.
2. RFA Auction Timing
a. The first auction of each season will be the one for
Restricted Free Agents.
b. The auction date will be set by the Commissioner’s
office.
3. Number of players in RFA Auction
a. Because players can be double-tagged, this auction
will consist of between 0 and 32 offensive and 0 and 32 defensive players.
b. Players not receiving bids will be returned to their
original owners at the minimum bid price (determined by the number of tags
placed on that specific player).
4.
RFA Bidding & compensation
a.
Teams bidding on other team’s respective RFAs should
be aware that upon winning a player, the losing team will receive compensation.
b. Compensation will be a combination of a draft pick and salary cap compensation.
c. The dollar amount of the compensation will be
subtracted from the team gaining the RFA, and added to the team that loses RFA.
d. The losing team may also choose to take a salary cap
only compensation should none of the gaining team’s draft picks appeal to them.
e.
Compensation will be distributed as follows:

f. A team may take $2.2 million and no picks in
compensation if they so choose.
5. Compensation Criteria: Teams losing RFA(s)
will select compensation from the table above based on the following factors:
a.
Draft picks owned by the gaining team.
b.
Value of the lost RFA.
c.
Number of tags placed on the free agent.
d.
Losing teams wants/needs.
e.
Draft Picks Owned: Clearly if the gaining team does not own a first round
pick, that level of compensation cannot be granted. The combination of cash and
picks is designed to make the later picks equal in value to the higher draft
picks.
6. Values of RFA
a. RFAs have predetermined values based on where they finished
in the overall rankings at their position the prior season.
b.
Example: If you own a WR that finished as the ninth rated WR in the
previous year, the earliest pick you can take from the chart above is the ninth
overall pick in the draft. If the gaining team has the 1.07 pick, you cannot
take it as compensation. If they have the 1.11 pick, you can take it.
c.
Remember, the gaining team must have the pick for you to get it as
compensation.
7. “The Top 5 Rule”
a. Any
QB, RB, WR, or LB that ranks in the top five at their respective position is
eligible for any draft pick.
b.
Example: if Barry Sanders ranked third among RBs
and was taken in an RFA auction, the losing team could claim any draft pick,
including the 1.01 pick, if the gaining team owns it.
c.
This exception only applies to the QB, RB, WR and LB positions.
8. Injured players and the RFA process
a.
Injured players who miss more than 10 games in a season have pre-determined
value set based on how they finished the previous year.
b. If
the player has no previous stats they retain current value based on how they
finished the season regardless of injury.
c.
Example: QB Michael Vick finished at the Top 5 in his position in 2002,
thus, the owner losing Vick is eligible to take any pick the owner desires as
compensation regardless of how Vick finished in 2003.
9. Compensation based on number of tags
a.
Should a RFA be double-tagged, the losing team may select two slots for
compensation.
b.
Example: say the gaining team has all of their original draft picks
and they draft in the seventh positioning each round. The losing team could
select their first round pick* and their sixth round pick. This would give them
the 1.07 and 6.07 picks plus $2.2 million in added cap space. * First
round picks can only be taken based on the value of the free agent being lost.
c. If
the losing team so chooses, one or more of their compensation slots could be
used for the Cash Only option ($2.2 million).
d.
Thus any team bidding on a double-tagged player must plan for the potential
loss of an additional $4.4 million to their cap. This is in addition to any bid
they make on said player.
e.
Example: Team A double-tags RB Barry Sanders.
Team B wins the bidding for Sanders with a bid of 2.8 million. Team A has
several options for compensation. Clearly the team LOSING the RFA decides
which compensation level they want. They CANNOT however set their own
compensation. Compensation is based on what the team has as far as draft picks
and cap dollars.
f.
Teams are expected to have, at the minimum, the CAP Dollars to cover the player
they are bidding on. If you bid on a player and do not have the CAP Dollars to
cover the expense for the player and the compensation you must give the other
team (see the Restricted Free Agent Compensation Table above) you will be fined
$1 Million Dollars.
g.
Teams may bid on any RFA player as long as they are willing to give up the
required amount of compensation.
A.
Free Agent Auctions
1.
Free Agent Defined. A Free Agent is any player that is on an NFL
roster, or was on an NFL roster in prior years, and is not currently on a FATAL
roster or is classified as a rookie.
2.
Following the RFA Auctions, a series of auctions will be held with all remaining
Free Agents.
3.
Nominations. Each team will submit a list of players to the Commissioner
sufficient enough to allow four players to be selected from the list using a
Serpentine fashion based on the rookie draft order. Those players will then be
placed on the auction board. Each team will then be responsible to place
another player into auction within 24 hours from the time that any one of their
nominated players is won at auction.
4. If
a team fails to make a nomination within 24 hours of a player they nominated
coming off the board, and fails to state their intentions of reducing the
number of nominations, The Commissioner will place into nomination the next
highest scoring player from the previous year for that team at the minimum
$300k bid.
5. Teams
may reduce the number of nominations from four at any time by stating their
intentions to do so.
6.
Teams may quit nominating but continue bidding when their available cap space
is less than $750k
7.
Minimum bid for all free agents in these auctions: $300K.
8.
Minimum bid increments: $25K.
9.
Competing bids must exceed the current high bid.
10.
End of specific player auction: when 24 hours passes with no resetting of
the high bidder, bidding on that player will be closed.
B.
In-Season Free Agency
1.
Free Agency during the season will be made using a blind bid system.
2.
“SimBucks”:
a.
When SimBucks are assigned: One week prior to the
season by the Commissioner..
b.
Beginning amount for each franchise: Every franchise begins with 300
Simulated Dollars, or “SimBucks” (exceptions to this
amount may be made due to penalties)
c. SimBucks are the official "currency" of our
league.
d. SimBucks are not real money and have no value.
e. How
SimBucks are used – first waiver period: Every
week, by the deadline established by the Commissioner, all teams interested in
picking up free agents must submit a one time "sealed" bid to the
Commissioner for each player. No one knows what player you have bid on or the
amount of your bid except your team and the Commissioner. Once all bids are
received, the free agent will be awarded to the owner who bids the
highest.
f.
Second weekly waiver period: There will also be a second waiver period each
week starting after the first period's waivers are announced and ending at
either
g.
Second weekly period waivers will be first-come, first-served at an expense of
25 SimBucks each.
h. No
one dropped in the first waiver period may be picked up in the second.
j. The
Commissioner will be responsible for tracking each team's available SimBucks to spend.
k. Teams
may utilize Free Agency for the entire regular season and in the playoffs to
teams that are in the playoffs, so long as they have SimBucks
available to use. However any player picked up in Free Agency during the
playoffs, may not be “tagged” the following year.
l. At
the end of the season, all unused SimBucks are
voided.
m.
Note: Teams may not bid fractions of SimBucks. Teams
may not bid more SimBucks than they have available.
n. SimBucks cannot be traded or given to another franchise.
Example:
RB John Freeagent gets hot and produces well. Team A bids 30 SimBucks for him. Team B
bids 38 SimBucks and Team C bids 50 SimBucks. None of the teams know what the other has bid. RB
John Freeagent goes to Team C for 50 SimBucks.
A.
Rookie Draft
1.
The FATAL Rookie Draft will be a six-round draft that utilizes an NFL-style
format.
2.
The worst record in the league owns the first pick in each round unless traded.
3.
Any players entering the NFL through the NFL Player Draft and any current NFL
players that are not on a FATAL roster are eligible for this draft.
4.
Definition of rookie: A rookie is defined as any player who was eligible
to be drafted in the NFL Rookie Draft in the current year.
5.
Rookie Salaries
a.
Teams will be allowed to sign rookies taken in the Rookie Draft for up to four
(4) seasons.
b.
Veterans taken in the rookie draft have no salary and cannot be contracted for
multiple years.
c.
Rookies taken in the draft are free for the first season.
d. The
team who owns the contracted player will continue to pay his salary, even if
they cut the player, unless another team picks the player up.
e. A
contracted player who is a free agent at the end of the season can be picked up
in the Unrestricted Free Agent auction or the Draft, but the team who acquires
him will assume that player's salary from that point.
f. The
commissioner will post a list of all free agents with contracts before the
Unrestricted Free Agent auction to ensure that there is no mistake in picking
up the player.
g.
Rookies signed to multi-year contracts will be paid based on the chart below.

B.
Contract Buyout
1.
Teams may buy out contracts of players on their rosters.
2.
Teams must declare prior to one week before the Unrestricted Free Agent auction
if they are buying out a player's contract.
3.
In order to buy out a contract, they must pay the full value of the remaining
contract in the current year.
4.
Example: Team A originally drafted Bo Jackson as the first pick 2 years
ago and offered him a 4-year contract at $2M. They have decided to buy out his
contract now when he has 2 seasons remaining on the contract. They will do this
by paying $4M this season. At that point he is dropped from their roster and
has no contract attached to him.
A.
Trading players is a legitimate way to improve a team for this year or future
seasons.
B.
The in-season trade deadline is kickoff of Week 10.
C.
Trades involving players taken in auction will include the player’s contract
(i.e., Team A trades QB Marino to Team B. Marino was acquired for $4.5M in
auction. Team A has $4.5M added to their cap and Team B has $4.5M deducted from
their cap). This is only noteworthy before the season starts when non-contracted
players have salaries.
D.
Trading can resume at a date announced by the commissioner.
E.
What can be traded: Trading may include players and/or draft picks,
including future picks for the current and next season.
F.
What can not be traded:
1.
There is NO trading of cap money. What this means is that if Team A trades
Marino to Team B, they cannot agree to “eat” any portion of Marino's salary.
2.
There is NO trading of SimBucks.
