# Waivers & FAAB

> RFFL free-agent budget, bidding, tiebreakers, processing schedule, and manual resolution workflow.

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.
