===== Draft =====
Draft classes are uploaded mid-season and randomly in order to avoid intentional tanking for strong draft classes like 2003, 1996, etc. Draft of next seasons starts during the playoffs of current season.

When draft pick is traded, it does not reflect at Index. Information about owned picks is being kept here insidethepaint.proboards.com/thread/8/owed-picks-30-rule
===== Contract extensions and free-cuts =====
After season flip, all contract extensions automatically get approved and posted to a dedicated thread. In this thread you can post to decline the extension, however, then you would lose any advantage (bird rights) on player for the following FA - of course you can bid on him as any other team.
All contracts not declined before announced deadline (sim) stays on the team salary sheet.

SG: Starting_SG | Backup_SG | Backup2_SG
PG: Starting_PG | Backup_PG | Backup2_PG
SCORING OPTIONS
1) Player 1
2) Player 2
3) Player 3
IR: Since we can only have 12 active men on the rosters you are allowed to put 3 players on IR. This means you can sign players bringing your roster to 15 and place 3 players on IR if you wish.
PACE - (Very Slow, Slow, Normal, Fast, or Very Fast)
FOCUS - (Inside, Outside, or Balanced)
TRAP - (Never, Sometimes, Normal, Often, Always)
PRESS - (Never, Sometimes, Normal, Often, Always)
Addition depth chart rules
1. If you fail to post your depth chart properly your team will be auto'ed until you post it correctly.
2. If you fail to post a depth chart for 6 sims (During regular season.) in a row you will be removed as a owner.
3. C/PF cannot play down to SG, PG Positions. (C/PF can play down to SF.) C cannot be changed to SF positions.
4. SF's Can play PF/SF/SG positions. SF cannot start at SG but can backup SG.. (SF's will not be allowed to change to SG position.)
5. PG/SG cannot play up to C/PF positions. SG can backup PG position. (Both SG/PG's can play up to SF.)
6. Starting players cannot start and play backup or another position while starting.
7. Players cannot backup in the same position (for example play as Backup_C and Backup2_C). They can, however, backup multiple positions (for example play as Backup_C and Backup_PF).

*Here's an illustration:
PG: A-F-H
SG: B-F-H
SF: C-F-H
PF: D-I-G

Player F is your backup at 3 spots and H is your 3rd stringer there. Player G and player I backups different positions too. So you're forced to have a minimum of 9 guys in your depth chart now

Addition depth chart rules
1. If you fail to post your depth chart properly your team will be auto'ed until you post it correctly.
2. If you fail to post a depth chart for 6 sims (During regular season.) in a row you will be removed as a owner.
3. C/PF cannot play down to SG, PG Positions. (C/PF can play down to SF.) C cannot be changed to SF positions.
4. SF's Can play PF/SF/SG positions. SF cannot start at SG but can backup SG.. (SF's will not be allowed to change to SG position.)
5. PG/SG cannot play up to C/PF positions. SG can backup PG position. (Both SG/PG's can play up to SF.)
6. Starting players cannot start and play backup or another position while starting.
7. Players cannot backup in the same position (for example play as Backup_C and Backup2_C). They can, however, backup multiple positions (for example play as Backup_C and Backup_PF).
8. Must have at least 2 PG's in PG depth chart.
*Here's an illustration:
PG: A-F-H
SG: B-F-H
SF: C-F-H
PF: D-I-G
C: E-G-I
Player F is your backup at 3 spots and H is your 3rd stringer there. Player G and player I backups different positions too. So you're forced to have a minimum of 9 guys in your depth chart now
