Welcome to the CBSSports.com 2020 Fantasy Baseball Prize Leagues (the "Contest"), where you can start your own ten (10) team Fantasy Baseball league (each a "League" collectively the "Leagues"), or join an existing League. You will find there are a variety of Leagues from which you may choose to participate. You can play in a Rotisserie or Head to Head League. Most Leagues include one sentence description area describing the type of player the League is looking to recruit (e.g., "experts," "beginners," "Mets fans," etc.) so you should have no trouble finding the right League for you. The rules for this Contest are explained fully in this document. If you'd rather make your own rules than play by ours, check out CBSSports.com's Baseball Commissioner service. Now, get ready to play ball!

4. Draft

Live Draft Leagues or Automated Draft Leagues
You will acquire players for your team within a League through a draft. Leagues can draft players via one of two ways: a "Live Draft" or an "Automated Draft." During a Live Draft, all ten (10) League participants (the "owners") log in to an on-line 'draft room' at a scheduled time. Each owner, in draft order, has ninety (90) seconds to select an available MLB player for his or her team. This kind of draft is exciting but extremely fast-paced and recommended for experienced owners. See 'Live Draft Instructions' section below.

If you are a beginner or are unable to schedule a block of two (2) to four (4) hours for a live draft, you may prefer to participate in an Automated Draft League. At your convenience, you may simply arrange players, using the "Rank Lists" provided by CBSI, in the order that you'd like those players selected for your team. The Automated Draft is then processed using your lists. The highest-ranked player on your lists who is available, and fits the roster needs of your team, will be selected for you during each round of the automated draft. See 'Automated Draft Instructions' section below.

Scoring Systems and Player Pool
The Contest allows you to choose one (1) of four (4) different scoring systems — there are three (3) Rotisserie style (a.k.a. "Roto") systems and one (1) weekly Head-to-Head style points-based system. More information can be found in the Scoring section below. You can also choose one (1) of three (3) different player pools: AL-only, NL-only, or AL/NL combined; and choose between daily or weekly lineup changes.

Please note, if you choose an AL-only or NL-only League and one of your players is traded out of the League you're using, that player is put in an "out of League" status. The player will continue to accumulate statistics for your team. However, once you drop that player, he will be removed from your League and will not show up on free agent reports. If you choose to trade that player within your League, such player will still accumulate stats for the team he is traded to.

Private or Public Leagues
If you know all the owners who are going to be in your League, or you want to recruit individuals, you may want to join or create a "Private League." The person, who creates a Private League, needs to set a password to grant entry into the League. Other owners will need that password to enable them to join that league. However, please keep in mind that the creator of a League will not have the ability to control any other league functions. If you already know all of the owners in your League and want complete control of your League's rules, you should check out the CBSI Website Baseball Commissioner product, our powerful and fully-customizable stats service.

"Public Leagues" are open to all eligible participants. If you create or join a Public League, you will have no control over who joins the league. Be sure to read the description of the League you want to join to make sure it is suitable for you.

Winners Leagues
If you played on a CBSI Website League (excluding Commissioner Leagues) in a previous year and won your League, you may be eligible to play in an exclusive "Winners League". To create or join a Winners League, you must use the same CBSI Website ID you used when you won your League.

League Joining Deadline
After you become a Registered User, you may join a League at any time up to the Signup Deadline date. All Leagues are required to have ten (10) owners. Opening day of the MLB regular season is set for March 26, 2020. In order for your League's fantasy season to start with opening day of the MLB season, you must be signed up and your draft started by 11:59 PM ET on March 25, 2020. There will be drafts held on opening day, March 26, 2020, however for drafts that start or are held after March 25, 2020, such League's fantasy season start date will be the following Monday after your draft. Note that if your League's draft is held on a Monday, the draft must be completed by 12:00 Noon* ET or your League's fantasy season will begin the following Monday. Stats from prior Weekly Scoring Periods will not count in your League.

*Excludes Mondays that have games starting prior to noon.

Refund Policy
Once you sign up for the Contest, you may receive a full refund of the purchase price up to twenty-four (24) hours prior to your League's draft date and time as long as you are not part of a League that is completely filled. All other refund requests may be granted at the sole and exclusive discretion of CBSI.

Live Draft Instructions
After you join or create a Live Draft League, you will have the opportunity to make changes to the CBSI Website default Rank List, which is a list of all MLB players that are eligible to be drafted, ranked from best to worst by the CBSI Website Fantasy experts.

It is recommended that you, prior to your draft, organize the Rank List according to your own player preferences. However, you are welcome to leave the Rank List in the order our experts have provided. During the live draft the CBSI Website will use your Rank List as a backup in case your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below).

On draft day, there will be a 'Draft Room' link in the Message Bar on your League home page - this link is also available in the 'Draft Central' page of your League. This link will allow entry into the draft room. During the Live Draft, each owner will have ninety (90) seconds to select an MLB player for their team. The order of the draft will be randomly generated between midnight and 6:00 AM ET either the day of, or the day before the draft, or for same day drafts, once your League aggregates and no later than five (5) minutes prior to the draft. If your League has the mandatory ten (10) owners as of approximately forty-eight (48) hours prior to your scheduled draft date, the league will aggregate and generate a draft order. If not, your League will receive an e-mail explaining that you must have ten (10) owners as of five (5) minutes prior to your draft date and time. Within approximately twelve to twenty-four (12-24) hours of your scheduled draft time, your League will be moved into the same day draft option to help fill the League prior to the draft time. If your League does not have ten (10) owners as of five (5) minutes prior to the draft date and time, your League will be disbanded and each owner will have to join or create another League.

In the Draft Room, you will be able to place MLB players into a "Draft Queue" — which is simply a list of players, in order of priority, that you are interested in taking with your next draft pick. When it is your turn to pick, you will have ninety (90) seconds to draft a player. If the ninety (90) seconds pass and you have not manually selected a player, the player ranked highest in your Draft Queue will be automatically drafted. If your Draft Queue is empty, a pick will then be made from your Rank List. In such a case, the highest rated player from the Rank List will be drafted unless that position is filled — in which case the next best available option, at the next highest ranked position list, will be drafted. The draft order will 'snake' at the end of each round, meaning that the team with the last pick in the current round will have the first pick in the next round.

Waiver priority immediately after the draft will be the reverse order of the first round of the draft. So, team #10 will have the highest waiver priority and team #1 the lowest waiver priority.

You'll find more help with the Live Draft in the Help Center, links to the Help Center may be found inside your League pages after signup.

Automated Draft Instructions
Due to the DH (Designated Hitter) not being a required position in Auto Drafts, all players who have eligibility as DH will be included within the 1B (First Base) position for player ranking purposes ONLY.

These players are NOT eligible to start at 1B until they reach the required 5 games played at that position during this year's MLB season. Until they reach that eligibility, they can only be used at the U (Utility) position within your League.

As with a Live Draft, after creating or joining an Automated Draft League, you will have the opportunity to rank all the eligible MLB players.

As in the Live Draft, you are not required to make changes to our Rank Lists; if you choose not to, our default lists, which reflect the rankings of our ‘Fantasy experts', will be used. However, if you decide to organize the lists yourself, you will have up to twenty-four (24) hours prior to your draft date and time to do so. When there are twenty-four (24) hours left until your draft date and time, the Rank Lists will be closed and considered ready for the draft.

On the morning of the scheduled draft day, your League's draft order will be randomly generated and an Automated Draft will be conducted. Players will automatically be drafted for you, using your Rank List(s). An e-mail will be sent to each owner after the draft has been completed.

Please refer to the table below for the full breakdown of the rounds of the draft. You'll see that the order staggers each round of the draft (team #1 has the first pick in round 1; team #4 has the first pick in round 2, etc.) so that each team will have the opportunity to draft 1st in a round at least once.

5. Teams

Overview
The CBSI Website offers two League styles: Rotisserie and Head-to-Head. Each League will have a total of ten (10) teams. Each Head-to-Head style League will be randomly divided into two (2) divisions of five (5) teams each. There are no divisions in Roto Leagues. Rosters in both styles of Leagues will be subject to certain restrictions.

Roster Restrictions - Rotisserie Leagues
During your League's Roto style draft, each owner will draft twenty-nine (29) MLB players. Team's active lineup may be changed weekly. In Roto Leagues, each team may have up to twenty-nine (29) MLB players in their roster, but no more than twenty-three (23) in the active lineup each week. Any player not in the active lineup may be put in reserve status, as long as the total number of players on the roster doesn't exceed twenty-nine (29).

All teams in Rotisserie Leagues must have a minimum of five (5) pitchers in the active lineup. This is the only minimum roster requirement. There are, however, maximums imposed for active rosters each week, as specified in the table below.

All teams will have an additional two (2) Injured ("IL") roster positions that they will be able to utilize through the course of the Contest. In order to place a player in a designated IL roster spot, the player must have been officially placed on the IL, by the applicable MLB team, and CBSI been notified of such change. CBSI is not responsible for lack of notification from any such third party not communicating such change. Once a player is officially removed from the IL by the applicable MLB team and CBSI has been notified of such change, and the change is reflected within the product, that player must be removed from the IL spot on your roster the next time you make a lineup change.

Roster Restrictions - Rotisserie Leagues
Position	Weekly Lineup Max	Draft Maximum
Catcher (C)	2	8
First Basemen (1B)	1	7
Second Basemen (2B)	1	7
Third Basemen (3B)	1	7
Shortstops (SS)	1	7
Outfielders (OF)	5	11
Middle Infielder (MI)	1	7
Corner Infielder (CI)	1	7
Utility (U)	1	7
Pitchers (P)	9	15
All Positions	23	-

Note: Draft Maximum values only apply to Automated Drafts, not Live Drafts. In Live Drafts, you may draft any MLB player you like with each pick. Just make sure your lineup complies with the Roster Restrictions specified above before your fantasy season starts. Your team will not accumulate points for any period in which your lineup does not comply with these Official Rules.

Roster Restrictions - Head to Head Leagues
During your League's Head to Head style draft, each owner will draft twenty-one (21) MLB players. Team's active lineup may be changed weekly. In Head-to-Head Leagues, each team may have up to twenty-one (21) players in their roster, but no more than sixteen (16) in the active lineup each Weekly Scoring Period. Any player not in the active lineup may be put in reserve status, as long as the total number of players on the roster doesn't exceed twenty-one (21).

All teams will have an additional two (2) IL roster positions that they will be able to utilize through the course of the Contest. In order to place a player in a designated IL roster spot, the player must have been officially placed on the IL by the applicable MLB team and CBSI been notified of such change. CBSI is not responsible for lack of notification from any such third party not communicating such change. Once a player is officially removed from the IL by the applicable MLB team and CBSI has been notified of such change, and the change is reflected within the product, that player must be removed from the IL spot on your roster the next time you make a lineup change.

Roster Restrictions - Head to Head Leagues
Position	Weekly Lineup Max	Draft Maximum
Catcher (C)	1	6
First Basemen (1B)	1	6
Second Basemen (2B)	1	6
Third Basemen (3B)	1	6
Shortstops (SS)	1	6
Outfielders (OF)	3	8
Utility (U)	1	6
Starting Pitchers (SP)	5	10
Relief Pitchers (RP)	2	7
All Positions	16	-

Note: Draft Maximum values only apply to Head-to-Head Automated Drafts, not Live Drafts. In Live Drafts, you may draft any player you like with each pick. Just make sure your lineup complies with the Roster Restrictions specified above before the applicable Weekly Scoring Period starts. Your team will not accumulate points for any Weekly Scoring Period in which your lineup does not comply with these Official Rules.

Position Eligibility
Each team has a Utility position, which is a "wildcard" spot where any player, except pitchers, can be placed at any time.

The Utility position is filled in the same manner for both Rotisserie and Head-to-Head style Leagues, although there are differences between Live Drafts and Automated Drafts. In Live Drafts, the first player drafted at a position other than pitcher that is already 'filled' (in terms of the lineup maximums specified above) is placed at the one utility spot allowed for, in Leagues. In AL-only or mixed leagues, you can draft an available Designated Hitter for an open Utility spot as well. In Head-to-Head Leagues, you can still draft a Designated Hitter if your Utility position is filled and you have a reserve spot available.

In all Automated Drafts, once all batter positions are filled, the next best available batter is placed at the Utility position.

Once the draft is complete, you may select any player from the pool of Free Agents to use at the Utility position.

During the fantasy baseball season, all MLB players will remain eligible at their initial (pre-season) designated primary position, and will also be eligible at any position at which they played at least twenty (20) games in 2019 or at least five (5) games in 2020. Also, be aware that a player's primary position may change at any time.

Due to the unique nature of the MLB playersShohei Ohtani and Brendan McKay, in AL-only and mixed Leagues, Ohtani and McKaywill automatically receive a primary position of Designated Hitter (DH), however, they will also be eligible for the Starting Pitcher (SP) position at the beginning of the "Playing Period". Due to their DH eligibility, they will also be able to be slotted into the Utility (U) position. If Ohtani or McKay plays five games at any other position during the 2020 MLB season, they'll gain eligibility at that position as well. During this 2020 MLB season and/or in subsequent seasons, the CBSI Fantasy team will evaluate the eligibility of Ohtani, McKay and any other players who in CBSI's judgment may be viable for fantasy baseball Leagues as both hitters and pitchers. Decisions of the CBSI Fantasy team on these matters are final and binding in all respects.

6. Scoring

Overview
The CBSI Website offers four (4) scoring systems to choose from. Three (3) are Rotisserie-style, where each team is ranked in a number of statistical categories and points are awarded based on a team's ranking in each category. The fourth (4th) scoring system is a weekly Head-to-Head points system, where the team earning the most points wins the week's matchup.

Rotisserie Scoring Systems
In a Rotisserie League, your team is awarded points according to its order of finish in each statistical category. Your team's point totals for each category are then added together for your team's overall score, and standings are based on these overall scores. The first-place team in a statistical category (e.g., Home Runs) gets ten (10) points, second-place nine (9) points, and so on with the last-place team in the category getting one (1) point. If two (2) teams are tied within a category, each team receives an average of the total points available; so, for example if two teams tie for first place in a category, each team gets nine point five (9.5) points rather than the ten (10) points usually awarded to the first-place team, nine (9) points to the second-place team and so on. The tables below list the specific statistical categories for each of the Rotisserie scoring systems available.

Traditional Rotisserie
Batting Category	Pitching Category
Team Batting Average	Team Earned Run Average
Runs Batted In	Wins
Home Runs	Saves
Stolen Bases	Team WHIP [(walks+hits)/innings pitched]

5x5 Rotisserie
Batting Category	Pitching Category
Team Batting Average	Team Earned Run Average
Runs Batted In	Wins
Home Runs	Saves
Stolen Bases	Team WHIP [(walks+hits)/innings pitched]
Runs	Strikeouts

Roto-Plus Rotisserie
Batting Category	Pitching Category
Team On-Base Percentage	Team Earned Run Average
Team Slugging Percentage	Wins
Runs	Saves
Runs Batted In	Team WHIP

Rotisserie Notes:

Each team's pitching staff must accumulate at least 900 innings pitched over the course of the season or it will be placed in last place in the team ERA and WHIP categories. Each team's batters must accumulate a total of at least 3,950 at-bats or it will be placed in last place in Batting Average (or On-Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage in Roto-Plus Leagues). All Leagues that begin after May 11, 2020 will use 600 innings pitched and 2,900 at-bats as the minimums. All Leagues that begin after June 29, 2020 will use 450 innings pitched and 1,900 at-bats as the minimums.
Pitchers' hitting stats will not generate any hitting points, and batter's pitching stats will not generate pitching points.

MLB Players Shohei Ohtani and Brendan McKay point accrual as Pitcher or Designated Hitter will depend solely on which position group they are placed in your Active Lineup. If Ohtani or McKay is placed in a Pitcher position, he will ONLY receive points that he accrues as a Pitcher for that period or day depending on if you are in a weekly or daily League. If Ohtani or McKay is placed in a Hitter position, he will ONLY receive points that he accrues as a batter for that period or day.
In the event that any regular MLB season game(s) is/are cancelled due to rain, act of God or for any other reason, and the make-up game is scheduled to be played after September 27, 2020, the statistics accumulated in such games will NOT be counted towards your team's overall Rotisserie score.
In the event that there are any MLB teams that end up in a tie at the end of the regular MLB Season, wherefore a tie-breaker game(s) is/are needed to determine the MLB teams that will participate in the MLB Playoffs, and such tie-breaker game(s) is/are scheduled to be played after September 27, 2020, the statistics accumulated in such games will NOT be counted towards your team's overall Rotisserie score.

Note: Categories that are based on percentages (e.g., Batting Average, Earned Run Average, etc.) are determined by adding the individual numbers of every player on your team, and then computing the average. We do NOT compute a percentage for each individual player and then compute a team average. For example, if you have two batters — one goes 1-for-1 (1.000 BA) and the other 0-for-4 (.000 BA), then the team BA is .200 (1-for-5), NOT .500 (the average of 1.000 and .000.)

Weekly Head-to-Head Scoring System
The Contest also offers a weekly Head-to-Head scoring option. During each week of the Playing Period, which runs Monday to Sunday (each, a "Weekly Scoring Period") (with the exception of week one (1) which takes place from Thursday-Sunday and week sixteen (17) All-Star Game period which takes place from July 13, 2020 to July 26, 2020), two (2) teams face each other in a Head-to-Head matchup. Each team earns points based on statistics accumulated by its players during the applicable Weekly Scoring Period. Point values are listed in the table below.

For each Head-to-Head style matchup, the team with the greater number of points during a Weekly Scoring Period will earn a Win and the team with the lesser number will earn a Loss. In the event of a tie, the team with the better tiebreaker total will earn the win. The tiebreaker is computed as follows: (RBI + Runs)/2 — Pitching Runs Allowed. In the event that a tie remains, the win will be awarded to the home team. Standings are based on teams' Win/Loss records.

Head to Head Point Values
Batting Category	Point Value	Pitching Category	Point Value
Single	1 point	Win	7 points
Double	2 points	Save	7 points
Triple	3 points	Quality Start	3 points
Home Run	4 points	Strikeout	.5 points
RBI	1 point	Base on Balls	-1 point
Run	1 point	Inning Pitched	3 points
Base on Balls	1 point	Hits Allowed	-1 point
Stolen Base	2 points	Earned Runs	-1 points
Strikeout	-.5 point	Hits Batsman	-1 points
Caught Stealing	-1 point	Loss	-5 points
Hit by Pitch	1 point

Head-to-Head Notes:

A team's score is tabulated daily.
Pitchers' hitting stats will not generate any hitting points, and batter's pitching stats will not generate pitching points.

MLB players Shohei Ohtani and Brendan McKay point accrual as Pitcher/Designated Hitter will depend solely on which position group he is placed in your Active Lineup. If Ohtani or McKay is placed in a Pitcher position, he will ONLY receive points that he accrues as a Pitcher for that period or day depending on if you are in a weekly or daily League. If Ohtani or McKay is placed in a Hitter position, he will ONLY receive points that he accrues as a batter for that period or day, depending on if you are in a weekly or daily League.
A player will accumulate hitting stats whether or not he plays at the position designated by the Commissioner. (e.g., Buster Posey is listed at 1B on a Fantasy team's roster and he plays C in a particular game. His hitting stats in that game will still count towards his Fantasy team's total points.)
Only official regular season MLB games will be used to determine Fantasy points. Minor league or exhibition stats generated by your players will not be used.
In the event that during the regular MLB season there are any cancelled MLB games, due to rain, act of God or for any other reason, and the make-up game is scheduled to be played after September 27, 2020, the statistics accumulated in such games will NOT be counted towards your team's Head-to-Head score.
In the event that at the end of the regular MLB season there are any MLB teams that end up in a tie, wherefore a tie-breaker game(s) is needed to determine the MLB teams that will participate in the MLB Playoffs, and such tie-breaker game(s) is/are scheduled to be played after September 27, 2020, the statistics accumulated in such games will NOT be counted towards your team's Head-to-Head score.

Statistics Corrections
Your League's pages will be updated to reflect official MLB statistics corrections that occur up to seven days after the game has been completed. For example, for a Saturday game, the official scoring change would have to be made by the following Saturday to be included in our statistics. If the change is made any later, it will not be included in our statistics and your official fantasy scoring will be based on the original statistic. The final week of the fantasy regular season as well as throughout the fantasy playoffs, statistics will be final on the Monday morning, at 6am, after the applicable Weekly Scoring Period has concluded.

Suspended Games
Head to Head Points Leagues
For games that are suspended and resumed at a later date, the same rules outlined under Statistics Corrections above will apply. Players that accumulated statistics/fantasy points for the portion of the game played on the scheduled date will apply to your lineup for that same period/day. The portion of the game that is completed after the statistical corrections deadline is applied, will NOT count towards your statistics/fantasy points. If a suspended game is completed within the statistics correction deadline, the statistics/fantasy points will retroactively be applied to the scheduled date on which the game was initially started.

Roto Leagues
For games that are suspended and resumed at a later date, all statistics of the completed game will be applied to these league types.

7. Schedule & Playoffs (For Head-to-Head Leagues)

Regular Season
The MLB regular season runs 26 weeks, including the 2-week All-Star Period, from 3/26/2020 through 9/27/2020, the Playing Period. Rotisserie style Leagues will run the entire Playing Period and there are no playoffs. This Schedule & Playoffs section applies only to Head-to-Head style Leagues. Please note that any MLB regular season games played after 9/27/2020 will NOT be included in the contest for either Head-to-Head or Rotisserie Leagues.

For Head-to-Head ("H-t-H") Leagues, the Playing Period is divided into two (2) separate periods, the "H-t-H Regular Period" and the "H-t-H Playoff Period." The H-t-H Regular Season will run for twenty-three (23) weeks from March 26, 2020 through September 6, 2020. The H-t-H Playoff Period will run for two (2) weeks, from September 7 to September 20 of 2020. During such H-t-H Regular Season, each team will play in twenty-three (23) Weekly Scoring Periods Head-to-Head matchups as follows:

three (3) matchups versus every divisional opponent (twelve (12) matchups total)
two (2) matchups versus every non-divisional opponent (ten (10) matchups total)
one (1) additional matchup versus a random team either divisional or non-divisional (one (1) matchup total)

If you sign up and draft after the first Weekly Scoring Period of the Playing Period or draft after the deadline to be eligible to start your season on Weekly Scoring Period one (1), you will play less than twenty-three (23) weekly matchups but the H-t-H Playoff Period will still start on September 7, 2020.

Playoffs
When the twenty-three (23) week H-t-H Regular Period ends on September 6, 2020, four (4) teams from the League will make the fantasy playoffs.

The winners of each division, based on win/loss record, will go to the playoffs as the top two (2) seeds. The division winner with the better regular season win/loss record will be the #1 seed and the other division winner will be the #2 seed. The remaining two playoff spots ("Wildcards") will be filled with the two (2) teams with the best win/loss records, excluding the division winners.

If there is a tie for the order of playoff seeds, the following tie-breakers* will be used.

Year-To-Date ("YTD") Points Scored
YTD Points Against*

If there is a tie for a division lead, the following tie-breakers* will be used.

YTD Points Scored
YTD Points Against*

If there is a tie for a Wildcard spot, the following tie-breakers* will be used:

YTD Points Scored
YTD Points Against*

*Note: YTD Points Against is determined by the competitor that has the highest YTD Points Against Total.

Teams with the higher seeding will be awarded home-field advantage for each playoff matchup. Each playoff matchup will run from Monday-Sunday.

In the event of a tie in a playoff matchup, the team which was the higher seed will win the matchup. For example, seed #1 vs seed #4 tie, seed #1 would advance.

For teams that do not qualify for the playoffs, the season will effectively end. No further add/drop transactions will be permitted for any team that does not make the playoffs, or for any team that is eliminated from the playoffs.

8. Lineup Changes

Overview
The CBSI Website offers two (2) Lineup changes options to choose from. The Weekly Lineups changes and the Daily Lineups changes as explained below.

Weekly Lineups
The Contest uses weekly lineups for all Leagues that choose the weekly lineup option. A week runs from Monday's games through Sunday's games (with the exception of Week One (1), which runs from Thursday to Sunday, and Week Sixteen (17), the All-Star Period, which runs from July 13 to July 26 of 2020). When a week begins, lineups can't be changed for that week. Each week, owners can set a new lineup for the upcoming week. If an owner does not set a lineup for a particular week, the owner's lineup from the previous week will be used. Your team will not accumulate points for any period in which your lineup is illegal. In the event of suspended games, see Section 6 above.

Weekly Lineup Setting Deadline
The deadline for setting your lineup is five (5) minutes before the first MLB game in which each individual MLB player's in your fantasy team is scheduled to play for the applicable weekly period. For purposes of clarity, if a MLB player does not have a scheduled game on Monday, that player will remain unlocked until five (5) minutes before the scheduled time such MLB player's team plays their first MLB game. Please note: Players involved in a delayed or postponed game will lock at the originally scheduled lock time.

Daily Lineups
The Contest provides participants with the option to have a daily lineup changes type of League ("Daily Lineup League"). In a Daily Lineup League, owners can set a new lineup each day. There are two (2) versions of the Daily Lineup Leagues, one with limited changes and one with unlimited changes. A day runs from beginning of the first game of the day through the completion of the last game of the day. If an owner does not set a lineup for a particular day, the owner's lineup from the previous day will be used. Your team will not accumulate points for any day in which your lineup is illegal. In the event of suspended games, see Section 6 above.

Daily Lineup Setting Deadline
The deadline for setting your lineup on a Daily Lineup League is five (5) minutes before each individual players' first game of the day. Any remaining players that are unlocked for the day will lock five (5) minutes before the last game of the day. Changes made after a player has locked will be effective for the following day. Please note: Player(s) involved in a delayed or postponed game will lock at the originally scheduled lock time.

9. Adding and Dropping Players

Overview
Throughout the season, you may want to improve your roster by adding free agent players and releasing players that aren't performing to your expectations. With only three (3) exceptions, there are no limits to the number of Add/Drops you can request, nor are there any transaction fees.

The first exception is when an owner drops his entire team or a significant number of players, also known as "team dropping." Team dropping has a negative impact on the League and as such, any owner who elects to drop his team shall be subject to immediate removal from the League. Players selected from waivers or added from free agency that were part of a team drop may be reversed at our discretion. In such move reversals, the waiver ranks will not be reset. For the weekly lineups Leagues, any changes made may go into effect for the following week's games.
The second exception is abuse of the waiver process. This is when a team owner adds then drops a series of players, putting those players on waivers and making them inaccessible to other team owners. Such an action could result in forfeiture of points as well as that team owner being blocked from making any additional add/drops for the remainder of the season, as determined solely by CBSI in its sole and exclusive discretion.
The third exception is in Daily Lineup Leagues playing in the limited transaction version who will only be allowed 8 transactions per week.

If either of these situations occurs within your League, please contact The CBSI Website through the Help Center as soon as possible. All decisions regarding enforcement of the exceptions to unlimited Add/Drops will be made by CBSI in its sole and exclusive discretion.

Free Agents
Any player not on any other team's Fantasy roster and not on Waivers (discussed below) is considered a Free Agent. In Weekly Leagues, requests for free agents are effective for the following week's games. For example, if an owner adds a Free Agent and drops a player on Wednesday, the roster is instantly updated for the following week, but the "pre-Add/Drop" roster is still in effect for the remainder of the current week's games. The deadline for submitting a Free Agent request is five (5) minutes before the first game of the scoring period in order to have the transaction effective for that week.

For Daily Lineup Leagues, requests for free agents are effective for the following day's games. For example, if an owner adds a Free Agent and drops a player on Wednesday, the roster is instantly updated for the following day, but the "pre-Add/Drop" roster is still in effect for the remainder of the current day's games. The deadline for submitting a Free Agent request is five (5) minutes before the first game of the day in order to have the transaction effective for that day.

Waivers
In order to provide an equal opportunity for all owners to add players that are new to the free agent pool, a Waiver process is used. Owners' requests to add players on Waivers are not executed immediately but are put in a pending status for at least 24 hours. This allows multiple teams to request the same players. Every night between midnight and 6:00AM ET a Waivers process will be run, executing the pending requests in "Waiver Rank" order (explained below). All transactions during the Waivers process are effective for the next scoring period.

Waiver Rank
As stated, during the Waiver process, pending transactions are processed in Waiver Rank order. The team with a Waiver Rank of 1, considered the highest, will get its first requested player. After the transaction is executed, the team's Waiver Rank is then set to 10 (last), and all other teams move up one. The initial Waiver Rank of the season is based on the reverse order of the draft. The team that selected last in the first round of the draft will have a Waiver Rank of 1.

If a team's highest pending transaction becomes invalid because another team received the requested player, the transaction gets deleted and the team's next transaction, if one exists, becomes that team's highest. If a team doesn't have any pending transactions because all players requested were taken by other teams, or the owner simply didn't request any players, there isn't any penalty and the team's Waiver Rank will not be changed.

Undroppable Players
To maintain the integrity of your League, you will be prevented from dropping certain star MLB players throughout the season. CBSI, as commissioner of all Contests' Leagues, will decide — in its sole and exclusive discretion — which MLB players are un-droppable. If there are players CBSI deems un-droppable on your roster, they will not be displayed on the Transactions, Add/Drop page. You may appeal to CBSI for permission to drop an un-droppable player; however, CBSI will make the final decision on all un-droppable player requests in its sole and exclusive discretion. Appeals can be sent via the Help Center page and should include the names of the players you want to add and drop.

10. Trades

Trade Approval Process
In an effort to prevent collusion among owners, and to ensure fair competition, a trade voting process is used. After a trade is accepted by the system, it will enter the voting process that will last for at least one (1) full calendar day (the "Voting Period"). If 4 owners in your League object to the trade within the Voting Period, the trade will not be immediately executed, and instead go to the Commissioner for approval. The Commissioner will review such objected trades in a timely manner and decide if such trades are to be executed or rejected; the Commissioner decisions are final. Trades made on Saturdays, which 4 or more owners object to, may NOT be effective for the upcoming play period, as these are now subject to Commissioner approval.

If 4 owners do not object before the Voting Period is up, then your trade will be processed overnight. As an example, a trade made at 5 PM ET Tuesday will not execute at 5 PM ET Wednesday but will be processed between midnight and 5 AM Thursday morning, to allow for the Voting Period to conclude. Therefore, all trades must be made (i.e., accepted by both parties involved and without objection from at least 4 other owners) prior to 11:59 PM ET each Saturday night to be effective for the following week. However, please note, that trades that do not meet the necessary number of objections are still subject to review by the Commissioner, to determine fairness principles are followed and to keep the integrity of the league. Any trade reviews and determinations by the Commissioner are final.

Trades that go to the Commissioner for approval on Monday may be processed after the lineup locks on Monday. Please always check your team Monday morning.

Multi-player Trades
Owners can enter unbalanced multi-player trades such as trading 3 players for 1 player. However, the maximum roster size (and the position restrictions) will ultimately be enforced. If a trade is executed and your resulting roster has greater than the maximum number of players allowed, or it violates the other position requirements, you will be required to enter the necessary transactions to correct your roster. If your roster is not legal by five (5) minutes before the first game of the week, your players will not accumulate statistics or points for the ensuing week.

For daily leagues, if your roster is not legal by five (5) minutes before the first game of the day, your active lineup will not accumulate statistics or points for that day and will not accrue points for subsequent days until the lineup is legal.

Trade Deadline
In an effort to keep the integrity of the League, a deadline for trades will be imposed at 11:59 PM ET August 5, 2020. No trades can be accepted after the aforementioned date. If a trade is performed on August 5, 2020, it will still be allowed to go through the voting process.

11. Sportsmanship

General Sportsmanship
By participating, you agree to abide by the general sportsmanship and fairness rules set forth in these rules and fantasy contests in general. You further agree to accept and abide by the rulings and the decisions of CBSI regarding all questions of sportsmanship and fairness. If an owner does not comply with the sportsmanship and fairness rules as embodied in these official rules, or CBSI determines (in CBSI's sole and exclusive discretion) that an owner has acted in an unsportsmanlike manner, CBSI reserves the right to disqualify the owner and/or remove that owner from the League. In the event CBSI removes an owner from the League, such owner will not receive a refund for the applicable team, the team will remain in the league with the last valid lineup, and all decisions by CBSI in sportsmanship and fairness related matters will be final.

Multiple Teams
In order to keep the Leagues as competitive as possible, owners will only be allowed to have one (1) team in a League. Note that on Silver Leagues there is a limit of one team per person, per the complete Silver Leagues level.

Collusion
CBSI does not permit two (2) or more owners in the same League to work together to better one team at the expense of the other (for example, making one-sided trades, one team dropping highly-rated players so the other team can pick them up, etc.).

Inappropriate League Communication
The Fantasy and League Message Boards, League News area, League Email Address and Chat Room are available for you to communicate with other League owners. We ask that you refrain from posting or sending messages that could be construed as offensive to other owners. Inappropriate communication can also include spamming other League team owners with trade offers and posting multiple messages on the message board. If a team owner fails to abide by the guidelines specified herein and in the CBS Interactive Terms of Use, as determined by CBSI in its sole discretion CBSI reserves the right to terminate that team owner's ability to communicate within the League.
