BSFL Rules

The transaction period involving the dropping and picking up of players begins at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) kickoff each Sunday which allows teams to place a player on waivers and designate a replacement (Waiver Request) until 8:00 p.m. each Tuesday. The Waiver Request transaction will be held, without being completed, until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday - at 8:00, Waiver Request transactions will be processed. If the same player is designated for pick-up by two or more teams, then the team with the worst winning percentage will be awarded the addition. Should there be a tie, then the team that has scored the fewest season-long points will get the player and, if still tied, the team with the worst myfantasyleague rating will receive the player. A first come transaction (Waiver) period then begins at 8:30 p.m. and is in effect until 10:00 a.m. on Sunday - the first come Waiver period will not change when Thursday games are played and will remain from 8:30 p.m. Tuesday until 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. All transactions must be made on the BS Football League's MyFantasy League website. Fee is $6 per roster change. A dropped player becomes eligible to be picked up by another team unless he is a designated Bye Week Player.

One Bye Week Player per roster may be dropped for that week's play with a replacement added if the team has no other options at a particular position because of multiple off weeks. That player is then protected from being selected by another franchise. However, the Bye Week Player must return to the roster for the next week of play and the replacement must return to the player pool. Fee for a Bye Week transaction is $12 ($6 drop and $6 reselection), and must be specifically designated at the time of the transaction. The bye week "freeze" can only be utilized once per week for players if no other option exists in order to field a full team and can only be done from 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday until 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. If more than one player on a roster in a given week has a bye week conflict, then the owner must elect to drop the second player and pick up a replacement during the first come transaction period, or choose to insert a player on a bye week into the lineup and not earn any points or stats. A "freeze" can't be used to avoid replacing a non-bye week player who has been injured, suspended, or otherwise unable to play. To perform a "Bye Week Transaction," click on "Taxi Squad" under "My Options" at the bottom left of the myfantasyleague standings page and "demote" the player to be protected by clicking on the appropriate box before clicking on "Perform Taxi Squad Moves" to enter the transaction. Then, go back to the standings page, click on "Waivers," and add the player to be picked-up (you don't need to "Drop" any players). Click on "Perform Waivers" to complete the transaction.

In case of bye week place kicking conflict: A place kicker can be added to serve as the tiebreaker, but must be dropped with the kicker he replaced returning to the roster. The fee for a bye week tiebreaker freeze transaction is half of other freeze transactions and isn't considered as the single bye conflict freeze allowed by a team in a week.

Injury Reserve: If it is announced that a player is out for the year, a replacement must be picked up and $6 roster change fee paid before the next group of games beginning Sunday morning. A delay of game penalty equal to the roster change fee will be assessed if a replacement player isn't picked up by the following Sunday morning kickoff after the injured player is officially placed on Injury Reserve and declared out for the remainder of the season.

COVID RULE for 2021 season: If a player is sidelined temporarily due to Covid-19, as designated by a C rather than IR or injury, then that player can be protected by placement on the Taxi Squad without dropping him on waivers. A replacement player would then be selected from the free agent pool and placed on the active roster. Once the Covid affected player is again activated by the NFL, then his replacement must immediately be dropped. Fee for a Covid transaction is $3 (half of the fee for Injury Reserve).

Roster change fees are used to increase stat leader payouts at season's end.
