Any player not designated as a franchise player or signed to a multi-year contract will be signed to a one-year contract. An owner may sign 13 players to a one-year deal. One-year contracts may be extended into two or three-year contracts, or a player with a one-year contract may be designated as a team’s franchise player. Player’s signed to a one-year contract will become transitional players immediately following the end of the season. A player signed to a one-year contract will be eligible for the following draft at a new contract value to be determined prior to the draft.
A player under a one-year contract may be released at any point in the season before the final drop day, November 17, 1999 at 11:59 pm. A portion of the player’s original season contact price shall continue to count against the cap, according to the schedule outlined in Section 9.3.
Once a player has been dropped by a team, he becomes a transitional player. A transitional player may be signed by another team under the rules outlined in Section 11.0. A transitional player’s season salary shall be the amount to paid under their previous contract. Length of the player's previous contract need not be honored, but the player must be signed to a contract immediately. If a transitional player is signed to a multi-year deal, the original season contract salary will be used to determine the player's salary in subsequent years. Raises must be given according to Section 5.0. If a transitional player is not signed in the year he was released, his season salary will be reassigned prior to the draft of the following season, regardless of the amount he would have made under his previous contract. A transitional player may not be signed to a new contract with the same team he was released from in the same year he was released, however, an owner may redraft the player in the following year (unless he was a franchise player for that team in the previous year)..

All submissions must be in prior to any NFL games that week. If submissions are not made on time, or not at all, the previous week’s active roster will be used. Bye weeks should be taken into consideration by the owner.

These are the ONLY ways a roster can be changed/submitted.
Rosters must be submitted no later than ONE HOUR BEFORE the first kick-off of the week. This means it is up to the owner to be aware of Thursday night or Saturday games. If a roster is not submitted prior to the deadline for that week, the previous week’s roster will be used regardless of bye week situations. There will be NO EXEPTIONS.
Player position eligibility will be based on what position the player is listed at per http://www.nfl.com, the official web site of the NFL. If a player is listed at multiple positions, you may use him at either one, but must disclose his starting position on your roster.
Beginning with the 1999 AFFL Season, a salary cap will be enforced according to the rules set forth in Section 9.0 of the rules, as well as the rules in their entirety.
The Salary Cap will be decided each year by the following formula:
CAP = [(AvgQB*2 + AvgRB*3 + AvgWR*3 + AvgTE*2 + AvgK*2 +
AvgD*2)/14]*1.2 + AvgYR
Where: AvgQB = Average Quarterback Original Season Salary
AvgRB = Average Running Back Original Season Salary
AvgWR = Average Wide Receiver Original Season Salary
AvgTE = Average Tight End Original Season Salary
AvgK = Average Kicker Original Season Salary
AvgD = Average Defense Original Season Salary
(1998 Points/100 - Then Scaled to match average of other 12 positions)
AvgYR = Average Penalty From Previous Year
($0.00 for the 1999 Season)
The salary cap for the 1999 season is $18.10. At NO point shall a team enter a game weekend with an accumulated season salary over the salary cap. Refer to Section 9.2 for Accumulated Season Salary.
Accumulated Season Salary includes the total amount of all 14 players on a team’s roster plus at any given point in time, plus any Retained Salary money accumulated through the season and up to that given point in time. See Section 9.3 for information on Retained Salary monies that will accumulate throughout the year.
If, at any time after September 6, 1999 at 11:59 pm, a player is released (See Section 10.0), some of that player’s season salary will continue to be counted against that team’s salary cap for the remainder of the 1999 AFFL season. The amount to be counted against the cap will be determined according to the following schedule:
If the player is dropped before Amount of player’s contract to be retained
Week 1 (September 10, 1999) 6.25%
Week 2 (September 17, 1999) 12.50%
Week 3 (September 24, 1999) 18.75%
Week 4 (October 1, 1999) 25.00%
Week 5 (October 8, 1999) 31.25%
Week 6 (October 15, 1999) 37.50%
Week 7 (October 22, 1999) 43.75%
Week 8 (October 29, 1999) 50.00%
Week 9 (November 5, 1999) 56.25%
Week 10 (November 12, 1999) 62.50%
Final Drop Day (November 17, 1999) 70.00%
No players may be released, no matter what the reason, after November 17, 1999.
It is week 6, and you have 14 players on your roster signed for a total of $16.25. In week two, you dropped a player who’s season contract was worth $1.50. In week 5, you dropped a player with a season contract of $0.95. Your accumulated season salary against the $18.10 cap is:
Current Players: $16.25
Week 2 Drop: $1.50 x 12.50% $ 0.19
Week 5 Drop: $0.95 x 31.25% $ 0.30
Total Accumulated Season Salary: $16.74
In this scenario, the team has a Salary Cap surplus of $18.10 - $16.74 = $1.36.
A player may be released from his contract at any point during the 1999 AFFL season before November 17, 1999 at 11:59 pm. There is no fee for releasing a player from his contract, but part of that player’s season contract will count against the salary cap for the remainder of the season according to the schedule in Section 9.3.
A free agent or transitional player may be signed at any point during the 1999 AFFL season before November 17, 1999 at 11:59 pm. There is no fee for signing a free agent or transitional player, but all signings must adhere to Section 11.1.Free agent or transitional player season contract amounts will be determined by the free agent salary schedule in Section 11.2.
11.1 Free Agent or Transitional Player Signing Procedure
A free agent or transitional player may be signed if and only if the following steps are taken.
1) Owner must alert the commisioner of intent to sign any player. Intent must
be filed using one of the methods set forth in Section 8.5.
11.2 Free Agent Salary Schedule

If the player is signed before Amount of original contract to paid
Week 1 (September 10, 1999) 100.00%
Week 2 (September 17, 1999) 93.75%
Week 3 (September 24, 1999) 87.50%
Week 4 (October 1, 1999) 81.25%
Week 5 (October 8, 1999) 75.00%
Week 6 (October 15, 1999) 68.75%
Week 7 (October 22, 1999) 62.50%
Week 8 (October 29, 1999) 56.25%
Week 9 (November 5, 1999) 50.00%

Final Add Day (November 17, 1999) 37.50%
