2. Each team manager will receive $1000 (fake of course) before the draft to draft players.

Ex: Team A vs Team B
Team A wins OU, UU, Ubers and Team B wins LC and Smogon Doubles.
Team A receives the victory for the week and becomes 1-0 in the standings.
Team B receives the loss for the week and becomes 0-1 in the standings.

Trade/Free Agency Rules:
During the course of a season, players can be traded from one team to another.
A player can be traded for money, a different player, or both. Also, "free agents" can be acquired.
These are players that were not drafted but still want to participate. A $100 minimum is spent to acquire these players.

Ex: Team A has $500 and is unhappy with Player 1. They wish to acquire Player 2 from Team B, also in command of $500, in a trade.
They offer Player A and $150 and Team B accepts. Player 2 is now on Team A, now worth $350; Player 1 is on Team B, which now has $650.

Ex: Team C has 6 players on the team and wishes to pick up a player during free agency to have a backup in case of a player missing a week.
They spend $100 to pick up Player 3 from free agency.

In the case that multiple teams would like to pick up the same player during free agency, an auction is required.
Because of this, it is recommended that teams do not spend all of their money in the draft. If a player has to take a leave of absence,
no refund will be given.

Ex: Team D and Team E would like to have the same free agent, Player 4. Team D offers $100, but Team E sees this and decides to bid $200.
Team D withdraws from the auction, and Team E has successfully purchased Player 4 for $150.
