Rosters
ROSTERS
Here in At The Buzzer - NBA Dynasty, our rosters will follow a 12 Active Player roster format with up to 3 IR slots available. Each franchise is required to have up to 9 active players on their roster at all times.

Salary Cap
SALARY CAP
Here in At The Buzzer - NBA Dynasty, our salary cap will be known as a hard cap. A hard cap is nothing more than the maximum amount that is allowed per league cap. Since we cannot equate to the luxury tax and the numerous exemption clauses of the NBA, we are going to have a hard cap set at $75M. No franchise is allowed over $75M at any given time of the calendar year - unless directed otherwise by the league office.
The $73M Hard Cap was derived from the following numbers:
1) The NBA's salary cap for the 2013-2014 season is expected to around $58M.
2) The average franchise salary for the 2012-2013 season was approximately $62M.
*No use of luxury tax or exemption clauses also played a significant factor in deriving the ATB Hard Cap.
We wanted the ATB Salary Cap to be higher than the NBA Salary Cap to account for the nonexistent luxury taxes and exemption clauses. Furthermore, the ATB Salary Cap is purposely set to be higher than the NBA franchise salary average for the same reasons.
SALARY CAP MANAGEMENT
All franchises must remain AT or UNDER the ATB Hard Cap of $75M.
Any transaction will become void and null, IF, the said franchise is not in compliance with the terms of the ATB Hard Cap.
The ATB Hard Cap may increase throughout the seasons to account for real-time inflation and the general increase of money in the NBA.
The ATB Hard Cap will never lower.

Contracts
CONTRACTS
Here at ATB - NBA Dynasty, we will place regulations on contracts in order to help keep contracts stable and to contain a healthy free agent pool every season or so.
All contracts have a maximum length up to 5 years total with a minimum of at least 1 year.
Contracts are allowed incentives, either player or performance based. Player incentives include a no-trade clause or a no-waiver clause, whereas performance incentives include MVP finish vote or statistical references. Incentives are a risk/reward option on contracts. All incentives that are deemed valid count towards the salary for the season and act as an additional cap hit.
Contracts may also include two sorts of options - Team and Vesting. Team Options are designated and exercised by the GM at his/her will. Vesting Options are automatically locked in for a player if the player meets the performance needed for an additional guaranteed year on the contract. Player options are not available in ATB as we cannot control the actions of the real athletes of the NBA. Any player with an existing player option will automatically be considered for UFA the following offseason of that player option.
Contracts are expected to be rounded to the nearest thousandth, such as 5.555M.
Minimum salary on a contract may not be any lower than $0.500M
ROOKIE CONTRACTS
Rookie contracts are simple, standard, and set in stone.
First Round Pick - Rookie contract in ATB will contain 2 guaranteed years with team options available in the 3rd and 4th year of the original rookie contract. In order to activate the second team option (4th season) of the rookie contract, a franchise must exercise the first team option (3rd season) to do so. At the end of the First Round Pick Rookie Contract, said player is eligible for RFA status.
Second Round Pick - Rookie contract in ATB will contain 1 guaranteed year with team options available in the 2nd and 3rd year of the original rookie contract. In order to activate the second team option (3rd season) of the rookie contract, a franchise must exercise the first team option (2nd season) to do so. At the end of the Second Round Pick Rookie Contract, said player is eligible for RFA status.

Transactions
TRADES
Trading can occur at anytime between any franchise, unless otherwise directed by the League Office.
All trades must meet the ATB Hard Cap Compliance Rules, as seen in the Salary Cap rules thread.
Trades can include the following:
1. Active Players
2. Draft Picks
3. Salary Cap - Up to $8M only
The Trade Deadline will be voted on at the beginning of the 2013-2014 Season.
TRADE FORMAT
Trades must follow a specific format when in post.
Trade posts require the following:
1. Subject line containing the franchises involved
2. The written post showing which franchise is trading what and to whom
3. All players, draft picks, and salary cap that is apart of the trade shown
4. Salary Cap changes (+/-) included
5. Brief description on why the trade was made
6. Confirmation by all parties involved
WAIVER WIRE
Waivers will be used in ATB. The waiver order will be determined by the current worst franchise to the best franchise Thus, the franchise that is doing worse will have a higher priority in the waiver system. Waivers will generally take 3-4 days to go through the system. Once a player is released from a franchise and placed on waivers, all 30 franchises have a shot at claiming the player; however, the worst come first.
If a player is waived by a franchise, that franchise will accumulate 50% of said player's contract, unless said player is claimed off of waivers by another franchise. At that point, the new franchise will assume 100% of the contract, letting the original/old franchise off the hook.
If a player is claimed within the time period, that player will go to the winning claim.
If a player is not claimed within the time period, the player is eligible for UFA, where any franchise except the team that waived may place a bid. A 50% cap hit will still be in effect for the original waiving franchise.
The waiving team may not attempt to reacquire the player for 30 calendar days.
Please see FA rules to determine the amount of salary owed to a dropped player.
AMNESTY
Each franchise will be given 1 amnesty, which can be used at anytime. The amnesty allows for a one-time free drop of a player's contract at no cost to the franchise. Once the amnesty is designated by the franchise, the amnesty is considered used up and no longer available for the time being. Only after the player's contract who was amnestied expires is when another amnesty becomes available. Amnesty cannot be traded.
