Rules: FAAB Free Agent Auction Bidding

What is dead may never die! After failing to pass as a rule change in 2011, FAAB is back and passed by a strong majority. I think we are all more familiar with the concept of FAAB now but if you have questions about how FAAB works, see the explainer linked below.

Here are the specifics for our FAAB:

• Free Agent Auction Budding - Continuous
• Runs daily Monday through Sunday @ 5AM EST
• Team budget: $100
• Minimum bid: $0
• Tiebreaker: Reset Each Week to Inverse Order of Standings

In short, our FAAB means every free agent will be on waivers, it'll run daily (we can adjust the time if need be), there are still zero dollar bids for lots of picking up guys if needed. While FAAB may hamper some of our more aggressive streaming teams, I hope it won't dissuade them from engaging in that strategy.

As a reminder, we do have a new-ish trade deadline, which is the last day of the regular season, aka WK20. [ See numbers 6 and 7 here: Conferences, Re-Seeding, No Roster Lock ]
