The other 9 positions can be filled at your discretion. Up to eight players can be retained from last year's roster. There is no limit on how many years you can retain a player. During the season, free agent pickups will be assigned a salary amount. Empty net goals do not count against team defenses.
Ties can and do happen.
There is no weekly tie-breaker. At the end of the season, if two teams are tied for first, the first tie-breaker will be points scored during the year. The third tie-breaker, if actually needed will be a flip of a coin. All trades must be submitted to Mike or Todd by Midnight February 7th to be effective. Waiver picks will only be allowed after the deadline if you are unable to field a starting line-up due to documented injuries.
