Acquisition Eligibility Eligibility for placement Eligibility For retention Trades Special protected status Responsibilities Infractions

Acquisition

No franchise may have more than three eligible players on their minor league roster at one time.

Any player, foreign or domestic, minor or major leaguer, may be claimed from free agency or waivers at any time that rosters are unfrozen by league rule. If a player is not yet available within the league's host software, that player may be claimed by private communication with the league commissioner.

Eligibility

Eligibility for placement

All players placed in the minor leagues must currently be eligible for Rookie of the Year. The only exception is for players retained on their owner's minor league roster during the previous off-season; they may remain on the minor league roster throughout the year after their retention.

Once a player has been placed on an owner's active roster, they are no longer eligible for placement on any minor league roster in the current year of play.

Note that having played for another team during any previous season has no effect on whether a player can be placed in the minors. Since the player was not eligible for retention, all owners would must have had a chance to acquire the player via draft or trade.

Eligibility For retention

To be eligible for retention as a minor leaguer heading into the offseason, a player must meet the following conditions:

• He must not have accumulated stats on any owner's roster during the completed season.
• He must have been eligible for the Rookie of the Year award during the just completed season. If an acquired player's eligibility for the Rookie of the Year award lapses during a season, he may be retained through the coming off-season.

Retained minor-league players will be evaluated for retention eligibility before the off-season begins. Owners will be apprised of the eligibility status of their minor league players as close to the end of the playoffs as possible.

Trades

Minor league players are the same as any other asset in the Fans of the ACC league, and the same rules apply to them. They may be traded as an asset, either directly or as future considerations.

Trading a minor league player does not effect a player's eligibility for retention. If a player has been retained by an owner as a minor league keeper in the previous season, that player may be traded to a new franchise with their eligibility for minor league placement intact.

Special protected status

Minor leaguers may not be selected in either the supplemental or official draft.

Responsibilities

In short, your roster is your own responsibility.

As it is possible for players to be claimed in our software before they are generally available in the CBS universe, it is the claiming owner's responsibility to ensure that the claimed player is not on another owner's roster.

Infractions

The commissioner will review service time on all rosters after the season to determine if any infractions have been made during the year.

Any owners abusing their minor league roster during the year can expect to suffer roster invalidation for those days on which they had an illegal roster, losing rights to any players involved, both, or something further agreed upon by the league.
