AFFL Update #006 Taxi Guidelines – REVISED

Please NOTE that the Taxi Squad Guidelines published in Update #004 have been revised.  The guidelines for the Taxi Squad linked to on the league page have been updated with the following revisions:
ACTIVATING A Spot Players:“If activated during the season, team is charged 20% (of formula salary) as a Call-Up Bonus + the league minimum.  Additionally, team pays a 10% (of formula salary) per game Roster Bonus for each week the player remains on the active roster (including week 1)”
HAS BEEN CHANGED…..The NEW GUIDELINES are as follows:

• when activated team is charged a one time call up bonus equal to 20% of formula, and commits league minimum
• once activated (and charged as above), player can be moved back and forth from taxi to active at will
• charged a roster bonus for each week player is on active; roster bonus = $1m/wk for players valued under $20m, or $2m/we for players valued iver $20m
• if player is active for 6 weeks, on 7th active week, team must pay full formula salary (less the league minimum already paid) and player is no longer eligible to return to taxi
• that means the most teams could be on hook for is formula salary + 20% signing bonus + $6/12m
• also, will make players with less than 7 weeks on roster eligible to be demoted midseason

ACTIVATING B Spot Players:“If activated, player receives a signing bonus equal to total amount of scheduled salary back due and must be signed to contract at current formula value”
HAS BEEN CHANGED…..The NEW GUIDELINES are as follows:“If activated, player must be signed to contract at current formula value as base, with total amount of scheduled salary back due as Guaranteed Money, with Guaranteed Money defined as the amount of contract salary that must be paid, before player can be cut; if player is cut before contract ends, dead money charges must complete the Guaranteed Money”
