Transaction Deadlines - 2013

And Weekly BWB Schedule

Dates are for roster changes and lineup changes.

Players signed in one week are not available for lineups until the following week.

Players cut in one week may still be used in that week's lineups.

Traded players change teams the following week - just like with signings and cuts.

NEW - All transactions due by Noon Eastern Time on listed dates.

 

New leagues will fit into this schedule after all phases of their drafts are complete.

 

Major League Games: These are the MLB games used for collecting batters' stats for the fantasy games that week.

Signing Pct: The amount of the player's salary you need to pay to sign him.

Cut Pct: The amount of salary rebate you receive for cutting players (no rebates to players under contract or with salaries 200 or lower).

Trade Pct: The signing/cut percentages for players in trades (continues to pro-rate all season).

 

Dates to keep in mind:

Week Zero Transactions - Monday, 4/1/13 - Noon EDT (earlier than normal - note EASTERN time)

  • All returning leagues - Teams cash balances over 5 million will be cut down to that 5 million bucks value after this week. (New leagues for 2013 are not subject to this).
  • All leagues get an extra 2 million in cash after this week. (Teams over 5 million will be cut down to 5, then get the additional cash).
  • This is the deadline to have a complete roster - you must be able to fill all 26 required roster slots and all field positions by this date.  (What happens if you don't?)

Week 1 Lineups - BWB Opening Day - Due Sun 4/7/13  (What happens if you don't set it?)

Deadline to receive a rebate for a cut player - 7/12/13

Deadline for Contract Extensions - 7/25/13

Trading Deadline - 8/28/13

Final Free Agent Signings - 9/11/13  (Only cuts and IR moves allowed in Week 25)

Playoff Lineups - 9/28/13 (estimated)

 

Thinking ahead to 2014 (subject to change):

Winter Trading Periods - Deadlines 11/23/13 and 12/7/13

Carryover Decisions: due Sunday, 12/2/13

Redistribution Draft Choices: due Sunday, 1/19/14
