Live Online Draft
All of FantasyGemz Fantasy Baseball leagues will hold a LIVE ONLINE DRAFT. When your draft is set to begin, choose the ‘MY TEAM’ option from the menu on your leagues home page. Then select the ‘DRAFT’ option. This will take you to the Draft Warroom. Once there, you will be ready to draft, or if you like, perform a ‘pre-draft’. We strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with the Draft Warroom and the pre-drafting process before your draft actually begins. Each owner will have the opportunity to pre-draft for any round before and during the draft. We recommend pre-drafting, because it speeds up the draft and enables owners to be prepared when it is their turn to draft. Owners should try to arrive 15 minutes before their draft is scheduled to begin.
Owners will select their players in a serpentine style draft. Owners will have 1 minute and 30 seconds per round to make their selection. League drafts will consist of 16 rounds. In a serpentine draft, the draft order rotates each round. The team with the first pick of the draft will draft first, the team with the second pick will draft second, and so on through the last pick in the round. In each following round, the order is reversed.
Note: Any pre-draft picks submitted by an owner will be selected as soon as it is that owners turn to pick for that given pick of the draft. In other words, if you have submitted pre-draft picks for round 2 of your draft, as soon as the team before you in round 2 picks, the system will go through your pre-draft list at that time and make your pick for you even if you are actively logged into the draft. If an owner has to step away from his computer for whatever reason during a live draft, he may want to pre-draft for an upcoming round or two while he is away, so the system can automatically make his picks for him. If for any reason an owner does not make their selection before their time is up; as soon as their time expires, our software will automatically select the best available player for that team. HOWEVER, if an owner misses two picks in a row, or three picks total throughout the draft, selections will be automatically made by the system for that owner from that point on.

Team Rosters and Lineups
Each fantasy player is only allowed to be on 1 roster per league. Partial lineups are not allowed. There is a maximum roster size of 27 players.
Owners must submit a starting lineup by the time games are scheduled to begin for the week. This is typically the Sunday morning of the scheduled games for that week. Once a game begins, that player will be locked in your lineup. Lineups from the previous week will be used if an owner does not set their lineup for a particular week. Changes to the status of the players in your starting lineup can be made up to 5 minutes before gametime.
The following chart indicates how many players you MUST start at each position.

Trades
When two owners agree upon a trade, it is immediately executed. If one or more owners believe there may be collusion involved in a trade, the objecting owner(s) must email the commissioner within 24 hours to dispute the trade. The trade will then be subject to a league wide vote for 48 hours. The trade is automatically rejected if six (6) reject votes are cast. Likewise, it will be automatically accepted if enough accept votes are cast. A missing vote from an owner at the time the poll is over is considered an accept vote. If a trade is reverted, all points for players involved in the trade will be attributed to their original teams. Players are not allowed to be traded back to their original team until after four weeks have passed. Trades are not allowed following week 20 of your fantasy league schedule.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Free Agency
Waiver wire requests are processed on a daily basis. The deadline to make waiver request for the following day is 11:59:59pm ET. All completed transactions will then be reflected in your lineup for the following day.
_____________________________________________________________________________
AWOL Owners
If an owner is AWOL, the Commissioner has the discretion to freeze the owners franchise. Franchises that have been frozen by the Commissioner can only be unfrozen by that franchises owner. A written explanation must be submitted to the commissioner prior to the next scheduled game. If an explanation is not submitted by the next scheduled game, the franchise will be managed by the Commissioner until a replacement owner is found. Commissioner owned franchises are NOT eligible for cash prizes. Should a Commissioner owned franchise become eligible to receive a cash prize, the prize will be divided evenly among the remaining prize winners. The following conditions classify an owner as AWOL and eligible to have their franchise frozen:
*An owner fails to submit an active starting lineup for more than any three week period in any given season.
*Continued use of profane or inappropriate language/images on league web sites.
