- These two additional bench spots, meant for the stashing of players with some sort of an non-playing designation (COV, IR, Doubtful, PUP, etc) will be added after the draft and once FAAB is required to acquire free agents from waivers
- Each Gent is free to manage these two extra spots as they see fit even though the intent is for them to be utilized as a pseudo-IR

- Important note: Sleeper does not currently have a setting that imposes limits on the number of players that can be retained at certain positions. this is a Gentleman's agreement to self-monitor.
- Roster Management: A Gentleman will construct and start a Strategic lineup each week. Failure to do so due to perceived lackadaisical team management will be dealt with, privately, between offending Gent and the Commissioner. Habitual behavior of this kind could result in financial penalties being levied against the Gent (payable to Free Parking) and/or removal from the Leagues.
- Definition and Explanation of an Illegal Lineup:
- Illegal Lineup is defined as: the starting of a player carrying a designation (i.e. IR, SUSP, O, PUP, BYE or others) that indicates they are unavailable to play in their actual NFL game that week. This designation is thereby rendering the player unable to accrue points during their matchup that week.
- A GENT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO EXECUTE A DROP/ADD OR TRADE IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE PLAYER(S) TO COMPLETE AND START A LEGAL STARTING LINEUP.
- If faced with a situation where they are unable or unwilling to do roster a player to start in any given position they must openly “cede” the roster slot to their opponent thereby taking zero points for that player in that specific matchup.
- Procedure for Ceding to an Opponent: to cede a starting roster spot to an opponent the “ceding” team must leave the starting roster spot open (no player is in the slot) - this is an open communication to their opponent and to the League that their actions are intentional and strategic and not lackadaisical team management.
- Definition and Explanation of an Illegal Lineup:
- Scoring/Passing: .04/yd, 1 point 300-399 game, 2 point 400 yard game, -1 QB sack
- Scoring/Rushing: .1/yd, .2 PPRush, 1 point 100 yard game, 2 point 200 yard game
- Scoring/Receiving: .1/yd, 1 PPR, 1 point 100 yard game, 2 point 200 yard game
- Scoring/Defense: points earned in fantasy are tied to points allowed in real game (yardage is not a factor in scoring): 10 points for a Defensive shutout and -.25 will be subtracted for every point scored on a defense thereafter
- Scoring/Defense: Blocked kick (punt, FG, PAT) = 3, Safety = 3
- Scoring/General: any TD = 6 points, .04/yd punt/kickoff return
- Transactions: one day Waivers, Free Agent Auction Budget ($100/season), $0/min. bid - if a team utilizes their full FAAB budget before the end of the season they will be forced to submit a claim on a player for $0 and hope for the best or wait for the waivers to pass before making a claim on an available free agent. You may also trade another team for FAAB money in Sleeper.
- Transactions: Trades will have no review, and will process automatically. If a trade is determined to be clear collusion the Commissioner will reverse. Trades of any other kind will stand.
- Transactions: The conclusion of Week 13 (end of FF regular season) is established as the Trade Deadline, the playoff hierarchy is established at this time and
- The 8 teams in the Blind Monkey Bracket will lose any remaining FAAB money and may only acquire players through a $0 FAAB bid,
- The 8 teams making the Super Bowler Bracket will retain any remaining FAAB money from the regular season and may continue to acquire players through the FAAB process until the end of the playoffs and
- As teams are eliminated from Super Bowler contention in Weeks 14-16 they too will lose remaining FAAB and will have to acquire players through a $0 FAAB
- Transactions: no transactions of any kind may happen after Week 16 as we prepare for the Gentlemen’s Derby
