ARTICLE I

Buy-In & Commitment

Annual Fee
$10 per manager, per year
Billing
Paid two years at a time ($20 due at the start of every two-year cycle)

If a manager wants to leave the league but has traded away future draft picks, they must still pay the buy-in for every season those picks cover, even after their two-year commitment ends.

Example: You traded your 2027 and 2028 first-round picks, then decide to leave after your first two years are up. You still owe the $10 buy-in for both 2027 and 2028, since another manager is holding your equity in those drafts.
ARTICLE II

The Draft

The off-season draft runs in order of finish from the prior regular season, worst record to best. The last-place team picks first; the top regular-season finisher picks last.

Tanking is, as always, a legitimate strategy.

ARTICLE III

Roster Construction

Standard basketball starting five, plus flex, bench, taxi, and injured reserve.

Taxi squad First- and second-year players can be stashed here rather than on the active roster. Taxi assignments must be locked in before each season starts.

Weekly Scoring: Lock-In

We use Sleeper's default Lock-In format, not daily lineups. Each starter gets exactly one game per week counted toward your total, and you choose which one.

If Jokić drops 50 on Tuesday, lock it in and his remaining games that week no longer affect your score. If Tuesday's a dud, skip it and wait for a better outing later in the week.
