After the last team has joined the league, the league will be locked in and the draft order will be randomly generated. The draft order is a random order of all teams that have joined the league and is not affected by when teams join the league. Once the draft order is set, all teams will be notified via email the league is locked in and the draft order has been generated. If your league does not have all the required teams, the league will be disbanded prior to the scheduled draft date and time. If your league is disbanded you will be able to join another league or create a new league. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to move the scheduled draft time up to 90 minutes to give the league sufficient time to fill with the required number of teams.

The draft will be an S-style draft with the team picking last in the first round picking first in the second round and so on. For example, in a 12 team league:

• Round 1: Team1, Team2, Team3, Team4, Team5, Team6, Team7, Team8, Team9, Team10, Team11, Team12
• Round 2: Team12, Team11, Team10, Team9, Team8, Team7, Team6, Team5, Team4, Team3, Team2, Team1
• Round 3: Team1, Team2, Team3, Team4, Team5, Team6, Team7, Team8, Team9, Team10, Team11, Team12
• Round 4: Team12, Team11, Team10, Team9, Team8, Team7, Team6, Team5, Team4, Team3, Team2, Team1

In normal drafts, each team will have 90 seconds per pick to draft a player.

If the league is designated to have a slow draft, each team will have between 2 and 8 hours to draft a player. In a slow draft the draft will pause from ~2:00am ET until 8:00am ET. Note: the clock may not pause at exactly 2:00am, it can take a couple minutes to get all leagues paused. Notifications via email, text, or the official RTFS app will be sent to team owners when they are on the clock. Team owners may select to receive notifications after each completed draft pick. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to reduce the draft time for each team in the final week before the start of the first game of the season.

After you join or create a league, you will have the opportunity to establish your own auto draft list of players.

Prior to your draft, you may customize your auto draft list to rank the players by your preferences. You may customize your draft auto draft list at any time up to and even during your draft. If you do not customize your auto draft list, the auto draft list for the draft will be the player rankings from RealTime Fantasy Sports, as they are listed at the time of your draft.

The auto draft list will be used as a fail-safe backup in case your draft clock expires before you make a pick. In the event you should fail to make a pick in the time allowed, RealTime Fantasy Sports will automatically draft a player for you. The player will be the top ranked player on your auto draft list. Players drafted automatically will be selected from your auto draft list, or from the players in the RTFS rankings without an injury designation if you do not have a list, in a manner that will fill out your team's starting lineup before the end of the draft. In order to prevent auto drafted teams from having too many players at any one position, positional maximums are configured and can be adjusted by each team. Should the draft clock expire on a team in two consecutive rounds in a draft or one round in an 8-hour slow draft, the system will set the team to auto-draft until disabled by a team owner. Auto draft selections will stand and will not be reversed.

RTFS reserves the right to pause a draft to contact players who have failed to enter the draft on time. RTFS reserves the right to correct draft mistakes within a reasonable timeframe.

Leagues designated "Auction" will use a live bidding auction style draft to establish initial team rosters. Each team will have an auction budget of $260.

After the last team has joined the league, the league will be locked in and the auction nomination order will be randomly generated. At this time all teams will be notified via email the league is locked and the auction nomination order has been randomly generated. If your league does not have the required teams, the league will be disbanded prior to the scheduled auction date and time. If your league is disbanded you will be able to join another league or create a new league. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to move the scheduled auction time up to 90 minutes to give the league sufficient time to fill with the required teams.

During the auction, each team will have 30 seconds to nominate the next player for bidding. Teams will nomination players one at a time in nomination order. Once a player has been nominated all team owners will have 20 seconds to submit bids for the nominated player. All bids will be shown to all teams. Team owners may submit unlimited bids on any player as long as each bid is at least $1 more than the current highest bid. If a new highest bid is received in the last 12 seconds of the player auction, the auction clock for the player will be reset to 12 seconds to allow all teams a chance to submit a higher bid. Once the auction clock for the player expires, the player will be awarded to the team with the highest bid.

Bids will be honored if received by system computers before the expiration of the auction countdown clock. It takes time for a team owner's computer to transmit bids from their location to the system computers, if a bid is submitted at the last second, it may not be received before the auction countdown clock expires. Bids received after the auction clock expires will not be honored.

During the auction, if the system detects a team owner is not present, the system will automatically submit bids in an attempt to build a roster for the absent team owner.

Team owners may familiarize themselves with the auction room via RealTime Fantasy Sports' free mock drafting. Team owners are encouraged to mock auction before their league auction.

Player Pools

Contest leagues will have one of three different player pools, NL-Only, AL-Only, or Mixed (meaning players from both leagues). When a league is created, the creator will declare the player pool for that league. Once a league is created, the player pool for that league cannot be changed. When leagues are advertised, the player pool of each league will be advertised with the league. Team owners are free to join a league with any player pool they wish.

Position Eligibility

Prior to the draft, all players eligible to be drafted will be published in the official player eligibility list. The list will identify each players' qualifying positions as of the start of the season. The position eligibility on that list will be based on the following criteria and is considered final:

• Position players (non-pitchers) qualify at any position at which they appeared at least 10 times in the major leagues in the preceding season. If a player did not appear in 10 games at any position, or did not appear the prior season in the majors at all, he qualifies at his primary position as determined by our stats provider or as assigned by RealTime Fantasy Sports. If a player sat out the previous year for any reason, his eligibility will be determined by his primary position as set by our stats provider or as assigned by RealTime Fantasy Sports.
• Position eligibility as a Middle Infielder (MI), Corner Infielder (CI) or Utility Infielder (UI) is obtained automatically if already eligible at a corresponding positon, e.g. a player eligible at 2B or SS is automatically eligible at MI, a player eligible at 1B or 3B is automatically eligible at CI.
• Designated Hitter is considered a position. A player who only qualifies as a DH may only be assigned to the Utility Player position.
• Any players whose primary position is Starting Pitcher or Relief Pitcher will become eligible as Pitchers as soon as they are on an active major league roster.
• Shohei Ohtani shall have Starting Pitcher and Utility Hitter eligibility. He can be entered into a team's starting lineup each week as either a Pitcher or a Hitter, but not both in the same week. Any additional MLB players that are utilized in both a hitter and a pitcher role, will be treated the same as Ohtani, but RTFS will generally only give them a dual role before the season starts and not mid-season. Also, as with all players, dual role players can qualify for additional positions through the season if they play enough games at a position. As with all pitchers, no hitting statistics will be accumulated while in a team's starting lineup as a pitcher. Similarly, while in the starting lineup as a hitter, no pitching statistics will be accumulated.
• Position players who play 10 games at a new position in the current season will be eligible at that position after they have played there for the 10th time during the current MLB regular season.
• Final player eligibility designation is at the sole discretion of RealTime Fantasy Sports.

Roster Composition

Each team will consist of a roster of 21 players and each draft or auction will be 21 rounds. Team owners are free to choose the player position mix of the players on their roster. There are no restrictions on the number of players at any position that may be on a team's roster. Owners are not required to have a minimum number of players at any position on their roster. For example an owner could choose not to have a third baseman on their roster.

Weekly Lineups

The Contest uses a single starting lineup for each team per week. A week runs from Monday's games through Sunday's games. Team owners may start or bench a player for the current week up until the beginning of the first game for that player that week. After that time that player is locked and cannot be started or benched. In addition, lineup changes are allowed one week in advance.

Each team's starting lineup will consist of a maximum of:

• 21 Roster Spots
• 16 Total Starters
• 1 Catcher
• 1 First Baseman
• 1 Second Baseman
• 1 Third Baseman
• 1 Shortstop
• 3 Outfielders
• 1 Utility Player (any hitter)
• 7 Pitchers

Waiver Wire

Free agents will be awarded using a prioritized waiver wire system. Team owners may select free agents they wish to acquire for the next week via the waiver wire beginning each Monday morning of the season. Waiver wire award order will be worst to first by each team's position in the previous week overall standings. If two or more teams are tied in the standings the team with the lowest number of total points scored at the time of the waiver wire will be awarded the player first. If two or more teams are still tied, the team with the worst head-to-head record against the other tied teams will be awarded the player first.

Beginning with the worst team in the league, each team owner will be awarded a single player. After each team in the league has been awarded a maximum of one player, the process will repeat beginning with the worst team in the league. This process will repeat until all player requests have been evaluated. If a team makes no player request, that team will not be awarded any players.

Player requests must be submitted by 11:59pm ET on Sunday of each week of the season. Player awards will be shortly after.

For leagues starting in MLB Week 1, if your league draft finishes before the first Sunday prior to Opening Day, you will have a preseason waiver wire on the Sunday prior to Opening Day. If your league draft finishes on or after the Sunday prior to Opening Day you will not have a preseason waiver wire period. If a league has a preseason waiver wire, the order of that waiver wire will be reverse draft/nomination order.

During the league playoffs the waiver wire will be first to worst by standings, so the top team will be rewarded with the first selection in each round.

After the preseason waiver wire completes, only players listed as active by our stats provider or previously active and now on the DL will be available as free agents.

Unrestricted Free Agent Period

After the waiver wire completes, an unrestricted free agent period will open at 10:00am ET on Monday and will close when the first game starts that week or Monday at 11:59pm ET which ever comes first.

Protected Free Agents

In order to prevent collusion or coordinated drop trades, any player released from any roster shall remain a protected free agent until the first waiver wire of the following week. This means the player will not be available to be acquired by any team in the week the player was dropped. This only applies to players that have been on a team's roster for at least one fantasy week.

In a further effort to prevent collusion or unfair competition, if players drafted in the first 5 rounds of the league's draft or won for $15 or more at the league's auction are released they will become unavailable and declared protected free agents for the duration of the season. Team owners will be allowed to replace those players, but no team owners will be allowed to re-acquire the dropped players as free agents. RealTime Fantasy Sports, Inc. reserves the right to add any player to the list of players that will become protected free agents for the duration of the season for any reason.

Additionally, any players dropped for play in the final week of the regular season and the playoffs will become protected free agents for the duration of the season. Team owners will still be allowed to drop and replace players, but no team owners will be allowed to acquire any of these dropped players as free agents.

Not all leagues have trading, these rules only apply to those advertised as trading leagues.

Trade Approvals

In an effort to prevent collusion among owners, a trade approval process is used. After a trade is agreed upon, it will be in pending status for up to 24 hours. The system will automatically review the trade to ensure it is reasonable and fair. If the trade is rated as acceptable, the trade will be approved. If the trade is rated unacceptable or unbalanced it will be vetoed. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to reverse any trade deemed to be completely unbalanced.

Trades approved before 11:59PM ET on Sunday night will apply to the rosters for the following fantasy week. In order to guarantee the RTFS trade approval process has enough time to process trades, teams should have their trades in 24 hours prior to this (11:59PM ET on Saturday night).

Trades that have already been proposed and are awaiting acceptance or rejection by another owner may not be proposed again until the first proposal is accepted or rejected. Trades awaiting acceptance or rejection by another owner may be withdrawn. Once a trade has been accepted by an owner and is being evaluated by the system, it cannot be withdrawn. If a trade is vetoed, that same trade may not be proposed again until the next fantasy week.

Trade Deadline

The in-season deadline for all trades will be MLB Week 17 of the season. No trades will be executed after MLB Week 17.

Not all leagues allow trading. Leagues are advertised as "Open Trading" meaning the league allows trading between teams. Leagues advertised as "No Trading" mean that trading is not offered as a feature in the league.

Point Style Rules

During each Monday to Sunday week, two teams face each other in a Head-to-Head matchup. Each team earns points based on statistics accumulated by its players that week. Points are awarded to each team according to the point values in each of the hitting and pitching statistical categories. A team's total score for each week of the season is a combination of points a team has been awarded in each statistical category.

Players statistics shall be accumulated at the major league level. For players in NL-only or AL-only leagues, if a player is traded or otherwise acquired by a team in the other league, the fantasy team will continue to accumulate statistics for that player so long as they remain on the team's roster. If that player is dropped from a team roster that player will no longer be available in that league. For example, if it is an NL-only league and Bryce Harper is on a team roster when traded from Philadelphia to Boston mid-season, the team would continue to accumulate statistics for Harper so long as the team does not drop Harper, even though he is playing in the AL.

The statistical categories and point values are listed below:

In all hitting categories, the hitting statistics of your pitchers do not count toward your team totals. Hitting statistics of pitchers are ignored in all leagues. Additionally, all pitching statistics for hitters are ignored in all leagues.

Statistics for regular season games that are rained out or otherwise postponed, for any reason, will be applied to the week in which the game is played. The statistics for postponed games will not be applied to the week the game was originally scheduled. If a postponed game is not made up or cancelled, no statistics for that game will be accumulated.

Scores and statistics are updated immediately as they are received from our statistics provider. Some events beyond RTFS' control can make this time longer. RealTime Fantasy Sports is not responsible for the timeliness and accuracy of the statistics.

Because the statistics are updated "live", some errors may occur. If so, statistical errors are usually corrected by our stats provider during the course of the day, but may take up to 24 hours to be corrected. If an error occurs and is not corrected by our provider, RTFS will correct the stat ourselves, but only if it is overwhelmingly obvious that the stat is in error. If there is any doubt about the validity of the stat, RTFS will maintain the statistic given by its provider.

All statistics for a game are deemed final at midnight ET seven (7) days following the day of completion of the game. The additional statistics from suspended games will be applied after game completion. RTFS still reserves the right to change any statistic for any player at any time for any unforeseen reason.

In all leagues, no statistics from any exhibition game (such as the MLB All-Star game) or one-game end of the season tie breaker games shall be used. In non-playoff leagues, no statistics from any playoff game shall be used.

RealTime Fantasy Sports is not responsible for any inaccuracies, representations, statements, graphics or content of materials that are uploaded onto its servers and website from other vendors, including but not limited to the Major League Baseball, SportRadar, and users, members, subscribers, customers or participants.

Fantasy Season

The Fantasy Regular Season will run weekly, from Monday thru Sunday from Opening Day thru the Sunday three weeks prior to the end of the MLB regular season. Each team will play weekly head-to-head matchups using a randomly generated round-robin schedule.

For each head-to-head matchup, the team with the greater number of points at the end of the week will earn a Win and the team with the lesser number will earn a Loss. In the event of tie, the team with the higher tiebreaker total will earn the win. The game tiebreaker is computed with the weekly stat totals as follows:
(RBI + Runs)/2 - Pitching Runs Allowed.
In the event that a tie remains, the win will be awarded to the team with the highest cumulative batting average for the week. League and division standings are based on team win/loss records.

For leagues drafting before first pitch of Opening Day, the season will begin with the regular season games on Opening Day. For leagues drafting after first pitch of Opening Day, the league will begin play with the Monday games immediately following the draft. The season ends for all leagues after the conclusion of the last scheduled regular season game of the MLB season. Tie-breaker games after the end of the scheduled regular season will not be used in the Contest.

Statistics from the South Korea Series games March 20th and 21st between the Dodgers and Padres will count as Week 1 stats in all leagues that begin in MLB Week 1. Please draft with this knowledge.

The MLB All-Star game and any playoff games are not included in The Contest. Opening Day thru Sunday and the partial week following the MLB All-Star break will be combined with the following full calendar week to create single fantasy games.

If Major League Baseball plays ten (10) or more regular season weeks, the season shall be considered a viable fantasy season. Should the MLB season end early for any circumstance, including but not limited to work stoppage, facilities, natural disaster, disease, or terrorism, the contest will end when Major League Baseball cancels the remainder of of the season. Should the MLB season unexpectly end early, there will be no league playoffs. At that time winners will be declared and prizes awarded by chopping the pot as follows: first, second and third, if applicable, prizes will be pooled and divided equally between the 4 teams in playoff position at the end of the season. The minimum innings requirement will be prorated or waived if the season is shortened. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to shorten the fantasy season for any league should the MLB play shortened schedule.

The fantasy baseball season will mirror the MLB season as closely as possible. The fantasy season will be adjusted to match any later than normal start or a fantasy season shorter than 162 games.

Playoffs

When the fantasy Regular Season ends four 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 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 determined as follows:

1. Top remaining team based on win/loss record
2. The remaining highest scoring team based on regular season points scored

Any ties for the order of playoff seeds, division standings, or wildcard spots will be broken using the following tie-breakers:

1. Total Regular Season Points Scored
2. Regular Season Head-to-Head Record
3. Regular season head-to-head points scored

The #1 seed will play the #4 seed and #2 seed play the #3 seed in the first week of the playoffs. The winners advance to play in the league championship game. Each playoff matchup will run from Monday-Sunday. In the event of a tie in a playoff matchup, the same game tie-breakers applied during the regular season will be used. The game 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 team with the highest batting average for the week.

The season will end for all leagues after games on the Sunday before the final week of the MLB season.

Sportsmanship

By registering, you agree to abide by the general sportsmanship rules set forth in these rules and fantasy games in general. You further agree to accept and abide by the rulings and the decisions of RealTime Fantasy Sports regarding all questions of sportsmanship. Sportsmanship broadly includes actions such as abusive postings and communication, colluding with other teams in the league, deliberately choosing to start incomplete or weak lineups, free agent moves for reasons other than improvement of the owner's fantasy team, and any other actions not conducive to decent, fair, and honest play. If an owner refuses to comply with the sportsmanship rules, or that an owner has acted in an unsportsmanlike manner, RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to disqualify the owner and/or remove that owner from the league without a refund. All decisions by RealTime Fantasy Sports will be final.

Inappropriate, Offensive, or Commercial Communication

The league message boards, league news and league email are provided to facilitate communication with other league owners and enhance the enjoyment of your league. RealTime Fantasy Sports does not permit posting or sending messages or images, to include logos, avatars and team names that could be construed as offensive to other owners. Inappropriate communication can also include spamming team owners with commercial offers and/or posting commercial messages on the league message board. Team owners who violate these guidelines are subject to being restricted from posting in the league. Additionally, RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to disqualify the owner and/or remove that owner from the league without a refund. All decisions by RealTime Fantasy Sports will be final.

All participants are required to abide by the RealTime Fantasy Sports, Inc. (RTFS) Official Policies. RTFS reserves the right to refuse participation for persons violating these terms.

Accidental Drops

In season long fantasy contests, should a team accidentally drop a player or drop the incorrect player during a free agent transaction, the team may appeal to have the player reinstated to their team. The appeal for reinstatement must occur immediately, without exception. If the appeal is not submitted immediately, for any reason, the appeal will be denied. Submission of an appeal does not guarantee a ruling in favor of the team submitting the appeal. If the team owner is a repeat offender, deemed to be using the appeal to gain an advantage or the appeal is not submitted immediately, the appeal will be denied. RTFS reserves the right to deny any appeal.

Trades

In leagues that permit trading, owners may request a review of commissioner-approved trades or commissioner-rejected trades. Trade appeals must be submitted immediately after the trade was approved or rejected. If any delay in submission occurs, for any reason, the appeal will be denied. Upon submission of an appeal, the trade will be reviewed by a panel of fantasy experts. Current injuries, bye weeks, season to date performance, team standings, and other factors will be considered. Trades that are overwhelmingly one-sided will be rejected. Trades that are arguably beneficial to both sides or arguably not overwhelmingly one-sided will be allowed to stand. Submission of an appeal does not guarantee a trade will be reversed. RTFS reserves the right to reverse any trade or let any trade stand.

All appeal decisions by RealTime Fantasy Sports are final.
