It’s your basic 17 team eliminator style league where the worst scoring team is eliminated each week. The twist with a Guillotine league is that the eliminated team’s players are dropped and available for the remaining teams via waivers. It is run as a points league. There are no divisions.

All teams are comprised of 14 players (7 starters and 7 bench players), as follows:

1 Quarterback
2 Running Backs
2 Wide Receivers
1 Tight End
1 Flex Player (RB/WR/TE)
7 Bench Spots
No K or DEF

Players in your starting lineup will lock at their scheduled kickoff. That means you can add/remove a player from your starting lineup as long as their game hasn’t started.

There will be no spots for injured reserve. You will need to decide if a player is worth taking up a roster spot.

This is a total points league. There is no league schedule.

Each week the lowest scoring team for that week will be eliminated and that team's players will be dropped. I will be doing this manually at some point each Tuesday.

There are no playoffs. A team is eliminated every week for 15 weeks. Week 16 will be the championship game between the 2 remaining teams.

Trading is not allowed in Guillotine leagues.

The league utilizes a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) Blind-Bidding waivers system. Each owner begins with a $1000 FAAB budget to place blind bids on waived players. To pick up a player who is on waivers, a minimum bid of $0 must be made. The owner with the highest bid will acquire the player, and for the exact dollar amount that was bid. Since this is blind-bidding, other owners will not be able to see your bid amount (and for what player) until waiver claims are processed. All bid amounts must be made in $1 increments.

Blind bidding is not conditional. Simply bid the amount you want on a player along with the player you want dropped (if you have an open roster spot you don’t need to drop a player).

In the event two or more owners bid an equal amount on the same player, the following criteria will be used (in a worst-to-first manner) to break the tie:

Continual Rolling List

For my sanity I'm planning on continuous waivers, which process Thursdays and Sundays. Open to changing this.

A player may be dropped at any time, regardless of when or how they were acquired.
