1. Introduction
2025 CBSSports.com Fantasy Football
Welcome to the 2025 CBSSports.com Free Fantasy Football Leagues ("Free Fantasy Football"), where you can start your own 12-team, head-to-head Fantasy league (each a, "League" collectively the, "Leagues"), or join an existing League. No matter what your skill level, you will find that there are a variety of Leagues from which you may choose to participate. Most Leagues include one sentence describing the type of player the League is looking to recruit (e.g., "experts," "beginners," "Dolphins fans," etc.) so you should have no trouble finding the right League for you. The rules for this Challenge are explained fully in this document. If you'd rather make your own rules than play by ours, check out CBSSports.com's Fantasy Football Commissioner Service.

Free Fantasy Football takes place on "CBSSports.com Platforms," which includes the website located at the domain cbssports.com and the mobile apps CBS Sports App, and CBS Sports Fantasy, as well as any other websites or apps as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of CBSI. "Registered User" means a person who has successfully completed the registration form and has obtained a User Identification ("ID") and associated password ("Password") on one of the CBSI network of sports and entertainment websites or apps, which includes but is not limited to the following: CBSSports.com, SportsLine.com and StarTrek.com. There is no charge or payment to become a Registered User.

The Commissioner
The Commissioner of a League is responsible for coordinating and managing the League. CBS Interactive Inc. ("CBSI") will serve as the Commissioner for all Leagues and will be solely responsible for resolving any disputes that arise regarding unbalanced trades, alleged rules violations or anything else.

Due to any unforeseen circumstances, including, without limitation, any game(s) cancellation, the absence of game(s) statistics, a pandemic (e.g. Covid-19) and/or any other circumstances, CBSI may in its sole discretion make material changes to Free Fantasy Football, including, without limitation, canceling the Free Fantasy Football service and/or concluding it early. If such changes are necessary, they will be noted in these Terms and/or your League homepage.



2. Leagues
Signing Up
Signing Up The "Period" means the period of time between June 10, 2025 and December 29, 2025. You may sign up to participate in Free Fantasy Football between the start of the Period and 11:59:59 PM ET on October 14, 2025 (the "Signup Deadline"). The "Playing Period" means the period of time commencing on September 4, 2025 and ending on December 29, 2025 and corresponds to the National Football League ("NFL") regular season. It is free to play and participate in Free Fantasy Football.

In the event of a change to the start or end date of the NFL regular season, the dates of the Playing Period may change to correspond to the NFL regular season at CBSI's sole and exclusive discretion.

NOTE: You may sign up, to play, up to five (5) times (to avoid confusion you can create up to five (5) teams to play) during the Period. If you create multiple teams, each team must be in a different League. Limit of 5 entries per person for the duration of the Period.

If you are not a Registered User of CBSSports.com Platforms, you will be prompted to register prior to signing up for Free Fantasy Football. There is no cost associated with registration. As previously noted, we will provide a list of available Leagues for you to choose from after you sign up. By registering and participating in Free Fantasy Football, you agree to comply with these Terms.

Eligibility
Free Fantasy Football is open to persons who are: (a) Registered Users; (b) legal residents of the United States (c) twenty-one (21) years of age or older, at the date of registration.

Employees of CBSI, CBS Broadcasting Inc. and each of their parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies (collectively the "Challenge Entities") and members of the immediate family or household of each are not eligible to play or win. Immediate family member is defined as a parent, sibling or any person residing in the same household as an employee of the Challenge Entities.

Private Leagues or Public Leagues


If you know all of the Managers who are going to be in your League, or you want to recruit specific individuals and/or friends, you may want to join or create a "Private League". The person who creates a Private League sets a password and other Managers use that password to join the 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 Managers in your League and want complete control of your League's rules, you should also check out the CBSSports.com Football 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 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.

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 twelve (12) participants (the "managers") log in to an online 'draft room' at a scheduled time. Each manager, in draft order, has just ninety (90) seconds to select an available NFL player for his or her team. This kind of draft is exciting but extremely fast-paced and recommended for experienced managers. 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 will simply arrange players, using "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.

League Joining Deadline
All Leagues are required to have twelve (12) participants/managers. The first day of the NFL season is set for September 4, 2025. In order for your League's season to start with the first day of the NFL season, you must be signed up and your draft must be started by 4:00 P.M. ET on September 4, 2025.

There will be no drafts held the first Sunday of the season, September 7, 2025. For drafts during the first week of the NFL season that start after 4:00pm ET on September 4, 2025, the League's fantasy season start date will be the first Tuesday after your draft.

Beginning in the second week of the NFL season, the fantasy season start date for all Leagues that have drafts beginning after 4pm ET on Thursdays will be the first Tuesday following the draft.



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

It is recommended that, prior to your draft, you 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, your Rank List will be used in the event your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below).

On draft day, there will be a "Draft Room" button available on your League home page. This link may also be available in the Draft Central page of your League. This link will allow entry into the draft room. During the Live Draft, each team will have ninety (90) seconds to select an NFL player. 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 date and time. If your League has the mandatory twelve (12) Managers 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 twelve (12) Managers as of five (5) minutes prior to your draft date and time. Within approximately twelve (12) to twenty-four (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 twelve (12) Managers as of five (5) minutes prior to the draft date and time, your League will be disbanded, and each Manager will have to join or create another League.

In the draft room, you will be able to place NFL 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 the 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 #12 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
As with a Live Draft, after creating or joining an Automated Draft league, you will have the opportunity to rank all the eligible NFL players. When choosing to participate in an automated draft, you can customize your rank list in one (1) of two (2) ways: a single, comprehensive list or 6 individual positional lists. If you choose the comprehensive list, all available players in your player pool will be populated in one list. You may manipulate the rankings however you choose. If you choose the six (6) positional lists, you can organize six (6) Rank Lists - one list for each Fantasy position: QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST. You will rank the players on each list in the order of your preference, with the player you'd most like to draft being #1 on a list, and so on. If you choose to rank your players via the 6-positional list option, a comprehensive list will also be compiled from these individual lists based on projections. However, if you make subsequent adjustments to this comprehensive list that conflict with your individual rank lists, the individual rank lists will become invalid. For example, if you have Patrick Mahomes ranked ahead of Josh Allen on your Quarterback list, but decide to move Josh Allen ahead of Patrick Mahomes on your comprehensive list, your positional list will become invalid.

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 CBSSports.com's Fantasy experts, will be used. However, if you decide to organize the lists yourself, you will have up until the start of your draft to do so. When your draft begins, the rank lists will be closed and considered ready for the draft.

On the morning of the scheduled draft day, an Automated Draft will be conducted using the staggered draft order listed in the table below. Players will automatically be drafted for you using your Rank Lists or our default list if you haven't created a rank list. An e-mail will be sent to each manager after the draft has been completed.

Please refer to the table below (each number in the table refers to each team's draft position for that round) for the draft order for the full 14 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 #2 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.

Waiver priority immediately after the draft will be the reverse order of the first round of the draft. So, Team #12 will have the highest waiver priority and Team #1 the lowest waiver priority.



4. Teams
Overview
Each CBSSports.com Fantasy Football League will consist of twelve (12) teams, divided into three (3) divisions of four (4) teams each. The divisions will be called: East, Central, and West.

Each team will consist of fourteen (14) NFL players. Managers may select a starting lineup each week from these fourteen (14) players. The chart below lists the required number of players at each position for the 'starting lineup' and the 'draft'.
  • Note: Individual defensive players are not drafted; rather, you will draft an NFL team's entire defensive/special teams' unit. For the purpose of roster limits, each NFL defensive/special teams' unit will count as one "player."


Roster Requirements
PositionStarting Lineup*Auto Draft**Live Draft***
Quarterback (QB)121 or 2
Running Back (RB)242, 3, 4, or 5
Wide Receiver (WR)343, 4, or 5
Tight End (TE)121 or 2
Kicker (K)111 or 2
Defensive Team (DST)111 or 2
All Positions ****91414
*You are allowed as many as nine (9) players in your starting lineup, according to the positional requirements listed in the table above. However, the numbers in the "starting lineup" column represent the maximum number of players you may have at each position. You may use fewer players than the number listed at each position without penalty, although it is recommended you use the maximum number of players so that you can accumulate the most points.

** Team managers that elect to participate in a League with an 'Automated Draft' will have their rosters populated according to the criteria listed in the 'Roster Requirements' table. Players will be drafted based upon their order within each team manager's Rank List and position within the draft. For more information, please refer to the Automated Draft Instructions listed above.

*** Team managers participating in a 'Live Draft' league will be required to select a total of fourteen (14) players based upon the criteria defined in the 'Roster Requirements' table above. Team managers may draft up to two (2) Quarterbacks, five (5) Running Backs, five (5) Wide Receivers, two (2) Tight Ends, two (2) Kickers, and/or two (2) Defensive Teams; however, the maximum total number of players a team may draft cannot exceed fourteen (14). For more information, please refer to the Live Draft Instructions listed above.

**** Please note that, throughout the season, your overall roster is not restricted to a specific number of players at each position. Once the draft is over, you can carry, in reserve, as many or as few players at each position as you like, as long as your overall roster does not exceed fourteen (14) players and you can start a legal lineup.

Dual Position Eligibility — In most cases, players will only be assigned a primary position. There will be times however, where a player will gain dual position eligibility and will be allowed to be played at either position on your roster. The determination of the additional position will be made at the sole discretion of CBSI as the acting Commissioner. For drafting purposes, any player with dual position eligibility will be counted against the position that the player is slotted in on your draft roster.



5. Scoring
Point Values
Each week your team will compete against another team in your League in a head-to-head matchup. During a matchup, each of the players in your starting lineup ("active" players) for that week will earn points based on their actual statistics from their respective NFL games. The charts below list the statistics and their corresponding point values.

Offensive Scoring
OFFENSIVE STATISTICQB, WR, RB, TE, K
Touchdown (Passing, Rushing or Receiving)6 points
Passing Yards1 point for every 25 yards
Rushing Yards1 point for every 10 yards
Receiving Yards1 point for every 10 yards

200-249 = 4 points
250-299 = 2 points
300+ = 0 points
In the event that a scheduled game is canceled or preempted for any reason, no points will be awarded for that week for players on the affected NFL teams.

Wins & Losses
For each head-to-head matchup, the team with the greater number of points will earn a Win and the team with the lesser number will earn a Loss. During the regular season, if two teams have the same number of points, each team will get a Tie.

During the playoffs, there are no ties. The tiebreakers for head-to-head matchups in the playoffs are as follows:
  1. Combined Passing, Rushing, and Receiving Yards of Active Lineup
  2. Defensive Yards Allowed of Active Lineup

If this doesn't break the tie, then the team with the higher playoffs seed will earn the Win.

NOTES
  • Offensive Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE): An offensive player will receive points for any offensive statistics he accumulates. Scoring will be calculated according to the following example: If a QB throws for two hundred (200) yards and two (2) TDs; rushes for twenty (20) yards and one (1) TD; and has twenty-five (25) yards receiving, his point total for the week would be:
    Three (3) TDs = Eighteen (18) points, two hundred (200) yards Passing = Eight (8) points, twenty (20) yards Rushing = two (2) points, twenty-five (25) yards receiving = two (2) points; for thirty (30) total points for the week.
  • Defensive / Special Team Scoring: Your defense is awarded points when any one of its members generates a TD, INT, fumble recovery, safety or sack. Your defense is also awarded points for a kickoff or punt return that results in a TD. For instance, if your active defense is the Saints and Rashid Shaheed returns a punt for a TD, you get 6 points. In the same situation, a team using Rashid Shaheed as an active WR would NOT be awarded points.
  • Fumbles Lost by a player on special teams or defense will lose two (2) points if they turn the ball over to the opposing team. For instance, if you have Rashid Shaheed active at WR and he fumbles the ball away at any time while he is on the field, your team will lose two (2) points. This includes a fumble lost while returning a punt, kick, interception (if your WR were playing defense) or while on offense at WR.
  • Offensive Fumble Recovery Touchdowns are any touchdowns resulting from a fumble recovered by an offensive skill player. For instance, if your active wide receiver is CeeDee Lamb and he recovers a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, while on offense, your team would be awarded six (6) points.
  • DST Points Allowed will take into account only the points allowed by the defense or special teams. This excludes points scored against the offense (TD from an interception, safeties, etc.) This will include any special teams (punt return for a TD, extra point) as well as those scored against the defense.
  • Defensive Touchdowns are any touchdowns scored by the defensive team. This includes fumble returns and interception returns.
  • Special Teams Touchdowns are touchdowns scored by punt returns, kickoff returns or returns of blocked kicks or punts.
  • Defensive/Special Teams Conversion Scoring: Your DST is awarded points when one of its members returns a failed extra point or 2-pt conversion attempt for a score, or if a fumble is returned for a score after a change of possession during an extra point or 2-pt conversion attempt. A DST will also be rewarded with a point if a safety is recorded on an extra point or 2-pt conversion attempt.
  • To calculate the Total Yards Allowed, simply add the other team's Total Rushing and Total Passing Yards gained.
  • Rounding will NOT be used when calculating points from statistics. For example, forty-nine (49) yards rushing will result in four (4) points, not five (5).


Statistics Corrections
Fantasy Regular Season and Fantasy Playoffs
Throughout the Fantasy Regular Season (as defined below), all statistics and point totals are verified, and corrections are made where necessary, following the completion of each week's games. All statistics and point totals for the prior week's games are considered FINAL as of 6:00 A.M. ET on Thursday. If a stat correction is announced for the previous weekend's games after 6:00 A.M. ET on Thursday or later, it will not be included in the applicable statistics and your team's official Fantasy score will be based on the original statistic. The aforementioned rule applies to both Fantasy Regular Season and Fantasy Playoffs.



6. Schedule & Playoffs
Regular Season
The first fourteen (14) weeks of the NFL season represent the regular season for CBSSports.com Fantasy Football leagues (the "Fantasy Regular Season"). During these fourteen (14) weeks, each team will play the other teams in its division twice each, and they will play each of the teams in the other divisions once. When the draft is complete, you can see your team's specific schedule by clicking the Schedule link.

Playoffs
When the Fantasy Regular Season ends, six (6) teams from the league will make the playoffs: the three (3) division leaders (the team with the best win/loss record in each division) and three (3) wildcard teams, which are the teams with the best win/loss record in the league, excluding the three (3) division leaders.

The division leader with the best record going into the playoffs will be the #1 seed. The division winner with the second-best record going into the playoffs will be the #2 seed. The division leader with the third-best record going into the playoffs will be the #3 seed. The wildcard with the best record going into the playoffs will be the #4 seed. The wildcard with the second-best record going into the playoffs will be the #5 seed. The wildcard with the third-best record going into the playoffs will be the #6 seed.

In the first playoff matchups in NFL Week fifteen (15), the #3 seed will play the #6 seed while the #4 seed will play the #5 seed. The #1 and #2 seeds have Byes in NFL Week fifteen (15) and will have their first playoff matchup in NFL Week sixteen (16) when the #1 seed plays the winner of the Week fifteen (15) matchup between the #4 vs. #5 seeds and #2 seed plays the winner of the Week fifteen (15) matchup between the #3 vs. #6 seeds.

If there is a tie for the order of playoff seeds, the following tie-breakers will be used.
  1. Year-To-Date ("YTD") Points Scored
  2. YTD Points Against
  3. Combined Passing, Rushing, Receiving Yards

For teams that do not qualify for the playoffs, the season will effectively end after the Fantasy Regular Season. 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.



7. Lineup Changes
Weekly Lineups
Each week, managers have the opportunity to select their starting lineup for the coming week. If a manager doesn't set a lineup before the weekly lineup deadline (explained in the "Deadline to Change Status" section below), the manager's lineup from the previous week will be used. If a manager has an illegal lineup, their team will score zero points for the scoring period.

Deadline to Change Status
A manager may change the status of the players on his/her team (i.e., "active" or "reserve") up to 5 minutes before a player's NFL team is scheduled to start. While there are benefits to last minute research, please play it safe and make changes well before this 5-minute window arrives. CBSI will not be responsible if your watch or clock and our system clock are not synchronized. CBSI system clock will mark the official time of the Leagues. Please note that, if nine (9) of your players were "active" and played on Sunday, you will not be able to change the status of one of your "reserves" to "active" on Monday even though the player didn't play yet.


8. Adding and Dropping Players
Free Agents
Throughout the season, you may want to improve your roster by adding available Free Agents and dropping players that aren't performing to your expectations. With only two (2) exceptions, there are no limits to the number of Add/Drops you can request, nor are there any transaction fees.
  1. The first exception is when a Manager 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 Manager 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 CBSI's discretion. In such move reversals, the waiver ranks will not be reset. Free Fantasy Football uses weekly lineups, so any changes made may go into effect for the following week's games.
  2. The second exception is abuse of the waiver process. This is when a Manager adds then drops a series of players, putting those players on waivers and making them inaccessible to other Managers. Such an action could result in forfeiture of points as well as that Manager being blocked from making any additional add/drops for the remainder of the season, in some cases dismissal from the League as determined solely by CBSI.

If either of these situations occurs within your League, please contact CBSI 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.

All Free Agents will be locked for the current week and placed on Waivers five (5) minutes before the scheduled start of their game for the week.

Waivers
To provide an equal opportunity for all managers to add players to their roster, a Waiver process is used. Requests for players that are on Waivers are not executed immediately but are put in a pending status.

All available players not already on Waivers, will be placed on Waivers 5 minutes before the scheduled start of their respective games. Available Players that are on a "BYE" will be placed on Waivers 5 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the last game of the week. Any transaction that includes a player either on your roster or in the available player pool that is locked/on waivers for that week, will be placed in a pending state until the next waiver process takes place the following week.

Any player that is new to the player pool will be placed on Waivers, and subject to the league's Waiver process.

The Waiver process allows multiple teams to request the same players. Most weeknights between 1:00:00 AM ET and 6:00:00 AM ET, CBSI will process all of the pending requests. The order in which these requests are processed is based on the Waiver Rank of each team. The table below lists when an NFL player is on Waivers and for how long.

Waiver Conditions
NFL Player StatusOn Waivers Until
Free Agents that have locked 5 minutes prior to scheduled start timeWednesday 1:00:00 AM ET to 4:00:00 AM ET Wednesday morning.
You can request players while games are in progress, but any player that is already on waivers or free agents whose game is within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time will be locked and unavailable until the first waivers run of the following week. The first waivers run will always be Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, so Wednesday is the earliest day you'd be awarded a player in any week. In addition, if a transaction is submitted including a player on your team that has locked for the week, that transaction will not be available to process until the player has unlocked for the next week.
Released during a waiver processThe next waiver process (usually 24 hours later, but see Waiver Schedule).
Ex.: Manager requests Player A on waivers and drops Player B. During waiver process, manager is awarded Player A, and Player B is placed on waivers until the next waiver process.
Released during Free Agent Add/DropThe second waiver process after the Add/Drop.
Ex.: Manager drops a player Tuesday after 4 AM ET. The player dropped is on waivers until the waiver process that runs between 1:00:00 AM ET Thursday and 4:00:00 AM ET Thursday.
Waiver Rank
During the waiver process, pending transactions are processed in an order determined by each team's waiver rank. 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 12 (last), and all other teams move up one. The waiver ranks are reset once each week after standings are updated on Monday night/Tuesday morning. The last-place team (based on won/lost record) will be given the waiver rank of 1, down to the first-place team, which gets the waiver rank of 12. We'll use the following criteria to break any ties for waiver rank:

Waiver Rank
Waiver Rank
1. Worst Won/Lost Record
2. Least Points Scored YTD
3. Most Points Scored Against YTD
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 waiver request, 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 manager simply didn't request any players, there isn't any penalty and the Waiver Rank will not be changed for that week.

Waiver Schedule
The waiver process will run for the first time each week between Wednesday at 1:00:00 AM ET and Wednesday at 6:00:00 AM ET which is approximately twenty-four (24) hours after the completion of Monday night's game. In a typical week where there are no Saturday games, the waiver process will run every night through Saturday night (the last process will be early Sunday morning).

If there are Thursday, Friday, Saturday or early Sunday games played abroad, the players involved in those games will be placed on Waivers five minutes prior to the start of their game and will not be eligible to be added to a team's roster until the first Waivers process of the following week runs.

Note: Waivers will continue to run for the current week, as scheduled, until the last waiver process is run on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Preseason
Once a league's draft is completed, players can be added and dropped subject to the Free Agent and Waiver rules discussed above. The initial Waiver Rank after the draft will be the reverse of the Draft Order. After the draft, all players not drafted will be placed on Waivers. The waiver process will run each night, seven (7) days a week, starting the day after the draft through the Tuesday night before opening day (Thursday, September 4, 2025).

Undroppable Players
To maintain the integrity of your League, you will be prevented from dropping certain star NFL players throughout the season. CBSI, as commissioner of all CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Leagues, will decide - in its sole and exclusive discretion - which NFL players are undroppable. If there are players we've deemed undroppable on your roster, they will not be displayed on the Transactions, Add/Drop page. You may appeal to CBSI for permission to drop an undroppable player; however, CBSI will make the final decision on all undroppable 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.



9. Trades
Trade Approval Process
In an effort to prevent collusion among managers, and to ensure fair competition, a trade voting and approval process is used. After two teams agree to a trade, the trade will be put into a voting period for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours, depending on when the trade is accepted. For example, a trade made at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, will not execute at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday; it will execute between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. (ET) Thursday, assuming four teams do not vote against the trade before the voting period ends.

All trades must be accepted by both teams, a minimum of forty-three (43) hours prior to the first game for that week in which any player(s) involved in the trade plays. For a trade involving a player who is playing in a Thursday night game, the trade would need to be accepted (and not disputed) by four (4) teams no later than 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday for the player to be eligible for the current week. For players involved in Sunday games, the trade would need to be accepted by 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday, for that player to be eligible for the current week.

If four (4) teams dispute the trade within the voting period, the trade will not be executed, but will go to the Commissioner ("CBSI") for evaluation. The Commissioner ("CBSI") makes a determination on the trade's fairness, and based on that determination, approves or rejects the trade. Trades are reviewed every day except Sundays and Mondays, as lineups are locked, and no trades can be processed. Trades sent to the Commissioner ("CBSI") for review may be made effective for the following week, depending on when the trade was accepted and when the game starts for players involved in the trade.

If you make a trade offer, be sure to monitor the status of that offer (on the My Team, Trade page) as the weekly lineup deadline approaches, to ensure that acceptance of that trade does not cause your team to have an illegal lineup for the current week's games.

Multi-player Trades
Managers can enter unbalanced multi-player trades such as a three (3) player for one (1) player trade. A trade that results in an illegal roster will be allowed; however, you will be required to enter the necessary transactions to correct your roster before your lineup is due for the coming week. If your roster is not legal by the weekly deadline, you will receive zero (0) points for that particular week.

Trade Deadline
In an effort to keep the integrity of the League, a deadline for trades will be imposed at 11:59:59 PM ET Thursday November 13, 2025. No trades can be accepted after the aforementioned date. Any trades accepted by two parties before the deadline will be subject to the trade approval process.



10. Sportsmanship
General Sportsmanship
By participating, you agree to abide by the general sportsmanship and fairness rules set forth in these Terms and fantasy games 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 a Manager does not comply with the sportsmanship and fairness rules as embodied in these Terms, or CBSI determines (in CBSI's sole and exclusive discretion) that a Manager has acted in an unsportsmanlike or unfair manner, CBSI reserves the right to disqualify the Manager and/or remove that Manager from the League. In the event CBSI removes a Manager from a League, 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, Managers will only be allowed to have one (1) team in a League.

Collusion
CBSI does not permit two (2) or more Managers in the same League to work together to better one (1) team at the expense of the other (for example, making one-sided trades, one team dropping highly-rated player(s) 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 managers. We ask that you refrain from posting or sending messages that could be construed as offensive to other Managers. Inappropriate communication can also include spamming other League Managers with trade offers and posting multiple messages on the message board. If a Manager is unable to abide by the guidelines specified in the Paramount Terms of Use, CBSI reserves the right to terminate that Manager's ability to communicate within the League as well as to disqualify the Manager and/or remove that Manager from the League or the CBSI Platforms.



11. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
IF YOU OR WE HAVE ANY DISPUTE WITH OR CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER (A "CLAIM") ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO FREE FANTASY FOOTBALL, AND THE CLAIM IS NOT RESOLVED BY CALLING OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT (888) 274-5343 AND BY FOLLOWING THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FORTH BELOW, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTES THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION OR AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and a Claim may not be consolidated with any other person's claim. You and we agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. You and we agree that any arbitrations between you and us will be subject to this Section 11 and not to any prior arbitration agreement you had with us. This Section 11 shall survive termination of the Free Fantasy Football service.

11.1 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure.

Before a party commences an arbitration or files a small claims court action with respect to a Claim, the party must first send to the other a written notice of dispute ("Notice"). A Notice from you to us must (1) be sent by certified mail; (2) be addressed to: CBS Interactive Inc., 680 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, Attn: Legal Department (the "Notice Address"); (3) contain your name, address, and email address; (4) describe the nature and basis of your Claim; (5) if you are submitting the Notice, include any relevant facts regarding your use of the CBSI Platforms, including without limitation whether you have created an account; (6) specify the nature and basis of the specific relief sought, including the damages sought, if any, and a detailed calculation of them; and (7) include a personally signed statement from you (and not your counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person's dispute.

After receipt of a completed Notice, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days (which can be extended by agreement). You and we agree that, after receipt of the completed Notice, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually-convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution. If we and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the issues identified in the Notice within 60 days after the completed Notice is received (or a longer time if agreed to by the parties), you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or a small claims court proceeding (if permitted by small claims court rules).

Compliance with this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure section is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 11.1. All of the requirements of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure are essential so that you and we have a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration. In addition, unless prohibited by law, the arbitration administrator may not accept, administer, assess, or demand fees in connection with an arbitration that has been initiated without completion of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure. If the arbitration is already pending prior to the completion of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Information Dispute Resolution Procedure, the arbitration shall be administratively closed. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure in arbitration.

11.2 Arbitration Procedure.

Any such arbitration shall be governed by applicable rules of National Arbitration & Mediation ("NAM") (including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable) ("NAM Rules"), as modified by this Section 11 (the "Arbitration Agreement"), and will be administered by NAM. (If NAM is unavailable or unwilling to do so, another arbitration provider shall be selected by the parties that will do so, or if the parties are unable to agree on an alternative administrator, by the court pursuant to 9 U.S.C. §5.) The NAM Rules are available online at www.NAMADR.com, by calling NAM, or by requesting them in writing at the Notice Address. You may obtain a form to initiate arbitration at: https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2020/09/Comprehensive-Demand-for-Arb-revised-9.18.19.pdf or by contacting NAM.

You and we agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure requirements referenced in Section 11.1 and that they are a party to the Arbitration Agreement enclosed with or attached to the demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented).

All issues, including the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, are for the arbitrator to decide. The arbitrator may consider but shall not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers. At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator's decision is binding only between you and us and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different party. An arbitrator's award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.

As in court, you and we agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration certifies when initiating and proceeding in arbitration that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including certification that the claim or relief sought is neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the NAM Rules, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, or applicable federal or state law, against all appropriate represented parties and counsel.

Except as expressly provided in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief, or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorneys' fees and costs, in accordance with applicable law. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator awards sanctions or finds that either the substance of the claim, the defense, or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

The payment of arbitration fees (the fees imposed by the arbitration administrator including filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees) will be governed by the applicable NAM Rules, unless you qualify for a fee waiver under applicable law.

In circumstances in which the NAM Rules provide for an in-person hearing, such hearing will take place in the U.S. county (or parish) of your residence, or otherwise in New York, New York. If the Mass Filing process described in Section 11.7 is triggered, then the location of any hearing will be determined by the arbitrator.

11.3 Discovery During Arbitration.

The parties shall each be limited to a maximum of one (1) fact witness deposition per side, unless the arbitrator determines that more depositions are warranted based on the totality of circumstances, including the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of parties and the diversity of their interests, and whether any or all of the claims appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery. Document requests shall be limited to documents that are directly relevant to the matter(s) in dispute or to its outcome; shall be reasonably restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; shall not include broad phraseology such as "all documents directly or indirectly related to"; and shall not be encumbered with extensive "definitions" or "instructions." The Arbitrator may edit or limit the number of document requests based on the totality of circumstances, including the factors listed above.

Electronic discovery, if any, shall be limited as follows. Absent a showing of compelling need: (i) electronic documents shall only be produced from sources used in the ordinary course of business, and not from backup servers, tapes or other media; (ii) the production of electronic documents shall normally be made on the basis of generally available technology in a searchable format that is usable by the requesting party and convenient and economical for the producing party; (iii) the parties need not produce metadata, with the exception of header fields for email correspondence; (iv) the description of custodians from whom electronic documents may be collected should be narrowly tailored to include only those individuals whose electronic documents may reasonably be expected to contain evidence that is material to the dispute; and (v) where the costs and burdens of e-discovery are disproportionate to the nature of the dispute or to the amount in controversy, or to the relevance of the materials requested, the arbitrator may either deny such requests or order disclosure on the condition that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other side, subject to the allocation of costs in the final award.

11.4 Confidentiality.

Upon either party's request, the arbitrator will issue an order requiring that confidential information of either party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal to the furthest extent permitted by law.

11.5 Offer of Settlement.

In any arbitration between you and us, the defending party may, but is not obligated to, make a written settlement offer at any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the dispositive motion being granted. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the claim. If the award is issued in the other party's favor and is less than the defending party's settlement offer or if the award is in the defending party's favor, the other party must pay the defending party's costs incurred after the offer was made, including any attorney's fees. If any applicable statute or case law prohibits the shifting of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this provision shall serve to cease the accumulation of any costs to which the party bringing the claim may be entitled for the cause of action under which it is suing.

11.6 Mass Filing.

If, at any time, 25 or more claimants (including you) submit Notices or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against the other party or related parties by the same or coordinated counsel or entities, consistent with the definition and criteria of Mass Filings ("Mass Filing") set forth in NAM's Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures ("NAM's Mass Filing Rules," available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), you and we agree that the additional procedures set forth below shall apply. The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. The parties acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Filing, the adjudication of their dispute might be delayed. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures are initiated, so long as the pre-arbitration Notice complies with the requirements in Section 11.1, until your Claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.

Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for CBSI shall each select 25 claims per side (50 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and CBSI shall pay the mediator's fee.

Stage Two: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for CBSI shall each select 50 claims per side (100 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and CBSI shall pay the mediator's fee.

Stage Three: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for CBSI shall each select 100 claims per side (200 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a third staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. Following this third set of staged proceedings, counsel for claimants may elect to have the parties participate in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge.

If your claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:

Option One: You and CBSI may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with these Terms. You may opt out of arbitration by sending CBSI your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by certified mail addressed to CBS Interactive Inc., 680 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, Attn: Legal Department. Such an opt out notice must be sent by you personally, and not by your agent, attorney, or anyone else purporting to act on your behalf. It must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage 3 or the elective mediation associated with Stage 3. CBSI may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of its intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30-day opt out period. Counsel for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.

OR

Option Two: If neither you nor CBSI elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your claim will be resolved as part of continuing, staged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining claims exceeds 200, then 200 claims shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsel for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than 200, then all of those claims shall be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of 200 claims are adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this process shall repeat consistent with these parameters. Counsel for the parties are encouraged to meet and confer, participate in mediation, and engage with each other and with NAM (including through a Procedural Arbitrator, as that term is used in the NAM Rules) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claims, increase the number of claims to proceed at any given time, promote efficiencies, conserve resources, and resolve the remaining claims.

A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Filing provisions and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your Claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your Claim, then your Claim shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with these Terms.

You and CBSI agree that we each value the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wish to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between us. You and CBSI acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases.

11.7 Severability.

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then that portion shall be deemed to be severable and, if possible, superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, or portion thereof, that matches the intent of the original provision, or portion thereof, as closely as possible. The other portions of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to be enforceable and valid according to the terms contained herein.
