Weekly Deadlines
Players can be traded on/off your active roster at any time before their game begins that week. Once that player’s game begins for the week, he is locked on your team. This holds true for all players, regardless of the day of their game (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, etc.).
Cancelled / Postponed Games
In the event of a cancelled or postponed game, players will still receive points for the week if the game is played before 11:59PM on Wednesday night following the originally scheduled game. If the game is not made up by the following Wednesday, players from those teams on active rosters will receive 0 points.
Trading Players
You can only trade a player for another player at the same position. There is no limit to the amount of trades a GM can process. To trade a player, use the "Edit Roster" tab at the top of the page. Click the “Drop” button next to the name of the player that you wish to trade. You will be brought to the free agent screen, which will show a list of all players at that position as well as their salaries. Click the “Add” button next to the player you wish to add to your team. You can make as many trades from this screen as necessary. Trade are not subtracted from your account until you click "Apply To Roster".
Payroll Cap
You must keep your team payroll under $100 million to be eligible for points. If your payroll is over $100 million after all your players have played that week, your team will be scored a zero for the week.
Roster
Each GM will be given a $100 million payroll to work with each week. Your active roster (16 players) must stay at $100 million or less at all times. Player values will be listed next to each player. These players will remain on your team until you trade them off your team.
Starting Lineup Consists of:
2 Quarterbacks
4 Runningbacks
4 Wide Receivers
2 Tight Ends
2 Kickers
2 Defense/Special Teams
Bench
Each team will have 3 bench slots. Players on your bench will have their salaries frozen the same way players on your active roster do. Additionally, the players on your bench do not count towards your $100 million payroll cap. Once a player is placed on your bench, his salary is frozen until you trade him to your active lineup. This is an effective way of snapping up a player at a low value with hopes that he becomes a fantasy stud during the season.
Player Salary Changes
Player salaries will change weekly in the RosterDoc.com Loaded Salary Cap Game. Players on your active roster will always have their salaries frozen and will not fluctuate automatically. For example, your active QB has a salary of $5 million in Week 5 and in Week 6 his salary is $4M. That QB's salary will remain at $5 million unless you trade him off your active roster. Alternatively, it is important to note that if the QB's salary goes from $5m to $8m, you will retain that QB at his original $5m salary.
Roster Transaction Page – Trades and Bench Swaps
To insert a bench player into your lineup, go to the "Edit Roster" tab at the top of the page. Make the necessary bench swaps and click the "update positions" button. Please note that you still must stay under the $100 salary cap when making a bench swap. There is no fee for a bench swap.
Trading Players
You can only trade a player for another player at the same position. There is no limit to the amount of trades a GM can process. To trade a player, use the "Edit Roster" tab at the top of the page. Click the “Drop” button next to the name of the player that you wish to trade. You will be brought to the free agent screen, which will show a list of all players at that position as well as their salaries. Click the “Add” button next to the player you wish to add to your team. You can make as many trades from this screen as necessary. Trade are not subtracted from your account until you click "Apply To Roster".
Please note that all teams will have the ability to make unlimited trades for free until the start of Week 2. It is only until the start of Week 2 that purchased trade slots will have to be used.

- Player Market -
Player values are set on a weekly basis via the Player Market. Once a player is acquired from the Player Market, his salary remains frozen for his tenure on your roster. For example, your starting QB is Carson Palmer. You acquired him from the Player Market at a salary of $5m. 2 weeks later, his salary increases to $6m according to the Player Market values. You will retain Palmer at his $5 million salary until you trade him off your roster. (The same holds true if Palmer's Player Market value decreases).
- Trades -
Each week, GMs have the important decision of trading players to and from their team. For example, if you have a QB that you think you are paying too much, you can trade him for a different QB. For each trade, you must use a Trade credit. Trade credits can be purchased at the RosterDoc.com cashier.
There is no limit to the amount of trades a GM can process. To trade a player, use the "Edit Roster" tab at the top of the page.
