The Operations Manual controls player acquisition, free agency, FAAB bidding, processing schedule, and manual Commissioner resolution for edge cases.
What This Covers
| Topic | Treatment |
|---|
| Budget and bidding | Use the active Operations Manual rules |
| Processing schedule | Follow platform behavior unless an RFFL rule overrides it |
| FAB tiebreaker | Use the league-specific tiebreaker rule |
| Post-run drops | Check same-week eligibility rules before answering |
| Platform edge cases | Commissioner manual override can apply when ESPN behavior conflicts with RFFL policy |
Emergency Handling
Emergency free-agent-only edge cases use the Operations Manual protocol. Do not invent an override, retroactive pickup, or score correction from a partial record.
