II. Player acquisition

       Note: The draft will take place before the season and will
       include six rounds. Only professional players may be drafted.
       Only current draft picks may be traded.

       Note: Trades may be made any time between the last regular
       season game and the trade deadline. The trade deadline is the
       first game of the fourteenth week. Any number of players or draft
       picks may be traded for any number of players or draft picks.
       C. Waivers
       Teams will be allowed to claim players via the waiver wire during
       seven separate time periods throughout the season. These periods
       will be after the final games of weeks one, three, five, seven, and
       nine, eleven, and thirteen. All waiver claims must be made before 7 PM on Thursday of
       those weeks. The waiver list for week one will include all non-drafted
       players who are on a NFL roster. All players who are cut from a FFL
       roster or added to a NFL roster shall be placed on the next waiver
       list. (Example: a player who is cut from a FFL team during week 3
       will be added to the week 5 waiver wire; a player who signs with a
       NFL team during week 5 will be added to the week 7 waiver wire.
       FFL teams will be assigned an opening waiver position based on
       their total points the previous season. If more than one team claims
       the same player, the commissioner will award the player to the team
       with the highest waiver position. ( Note: # 1 waiver position is higher
       than # 10 waiver position) No waiver acquisitions will be awarded
       until after the 7 PM on Thursday dead line. Once a team picks up a
       player on waivers, they assume the # 10 position and all other teams
       move up one.A team can make only one claim per waiver position. A
       team can attempt to claim more than one player off waivers; however,
       they must specify the order for the selection.( Example: the team
       with the # 1 waiver position wants players A, B, and C off the waiver
       wire. The team specifies the order in which to pick up the players as
       C, A, B. Player C is awarded to the team because of the # 1 waiver
       position, player A must clear all the way down to the team's new
       waiver position of #10 before being awarded, and so on.) Waiver
       positions cannot be traded. All waiver acquisitions cost $1.00.

One player on your roster can be placed on I.R., thus
opening up a roster spot in the same position. This player must
first be placed on I.R. by the N.F.L. team. At the end of the
N.F.L. regular season, your roster must be cut down to normal
size before T.F.L. trading can comence.
