This thread will be where all general ruling as well as information regarding prices and important dates are gathered !

Draft Information
100k will be attributed to each team manager for them to constitute their team during the auction. There will be 8 teams of 10 players minimum (8 starters + 2 subs).

Retains and Selfbuys
Each team will be able to perform retains and/or selfbuys as long as the total of these don't exceed two. This means that managers can decide at most to retain two players, selfbuy twice or retain one player and selfbuy once.

In order to balance out selbuys, a new formula will be used to get the price of each managers:
Manager price = (M-1) * 0.5 * # of wins last RUPL + (P + 3) + 0.75 * # of wins last RUPL - 1 * # of loses last RUPL
M being the number of selfbuys performed by the team (1 or 2).
P being the price of said player in their last RUPL capped at 17. If they never played RUPL or if their price was lower than 10, it defaults to 10.
The result is rounded up.

Retains will be last year’s price + 3 or 10, whichever is higher.

The prices are in thousands.

Prize
The members of the winning team will receive a custom PS! avatar.

re: PRECISION ABOUT THE SIGNUPS FORMAT

In case it was not clear for everybody, tierlock is implemented for this RUPL. So, every tier you write under "Tier NOT played" are locked for you, meaning your manager can't put you on these slots for the whole regular season. There is still time to edit your signup post if needed.
