Gauntlet Pro League By-laws

Welcome back to the Gauntlet Pro League, 2023 version! We had a great season last year. No changes to the league settings from last year at this time. Good luck!

League is $100, all financed through LeagueSafe, and 100% of money goes back into the player pot. $280 of the $1200 goes into a weekly high score pot, meaning every week through week 14 the high score wins $20, all to be tracked and paid out at the end of the season. For the league winners: 1st - $600, 2nd - $220, 3rd - $100. League payouts are voted on by majority.

There will be 3 divisions of 4 teams each and all will be randomized once all league spots have filled and payments have been received. 6 teams will make the playoffs with 3 division winners and 3 wildcard spots. Top two seeds will receive the first round bye in Week 15, semis in Week 16, and finals in Week 17.

The live draft is set for late August and will be finalized once all payments are received. The draft will also be randomized at that time as well.


Please take a look at the scoring and roster settings to ensure you are properly informed.


Some additional league by-laws:

Inactive managers :
Managers that do not set an active lineup by gametime are given a 1st notice warning. If they don't not set a lineup again by 2 hours prior to the 1st game of the week on Sunday the following week, the roster will be locked and the league commissioner will set the lineup for them based off most projected points. At that point, the manager will be removed from the league and a replacement manager will be sought. The 1st notice warning does not revert even if the manager retakes control in the second week. This means if a manager misses 2 weeks during the season even if they are not in conjunction, they are removed from the league.


Inactive rostered players :
Players are deemed inactive on gameday if they are on by week or are injured and listed as "out".


Locked team free agent pick-ups :
In the event a locked team has no available players at a certain position, the commissioner reserves the right to pick up a player from the free agent market 2 hours prior to the start of the 1st game on Sunday of that week. The player to be picked up will be projected as having the most projected points at that position that is available. The commissioner reserves the right to drop a player that will have the least impact on the team and the rest of the league. No waiver claims will be made for locked teams.


Replacement managers :
Replacement managers will pay into the league a percentage of the $100 league fee based on how much of the 16 week season is remaining. All money from replacement managers will go into the pot for the 1st-3rd place winners.


Manager-less teams :
Teams where a replacement manager cannot be found are not eligible for the playoffs. If a team without a manager would have made the playoffs,that spot will revert to a wildcard slot, regardless if the team was a division leader or a wildcard holder.


Wildcard spots :
Wildcard spots are based on record, with points scored as the tie-break.


Protested trades :
It is the responsibility of the league managers to protest a trade. If a trade receives 3 official complaints the commissioner will review the trade and put it up for a league vote. The league vote will last 2 days, with a judgement call made by the commissioner to shorten the vote based on player availability for that week's games. Trade protests will be made based on collusion and fair-play rather than owners just disliking the trade and how it affects his/her team. The commissioner reserves the right to make the final call on all trades, but will adhere to the league's vote as much as reasonably possible.


Collusion :
Owners deemed guilty of collusion will be removed from the league immediately. Replacement manager rules will then be enforced.


Tanking :
Owners deemed guilty of tanking will be removed from the league immediately. Replacement manager rules will then be enforced.


Commissioner :
The commissioner reserves the right to make the final call on all league actions. The commissioner will only deviate from the league by-laws under exceptional circumstances

Pandemic Rule: 1 extra IR slot allowed
