Q: I am configuring a second season of my Keeper League and I noticed a new draft order option called "Reverse order of xxxx finish".  How does that work?
A: You will see this option after your first complete Keeper League season with MFS.  This option emulates the NFL's draft order.  We will take last year's results to determine your draft order for you.  The non-playoff teams with the worst records will get the top spots.  The Toilet Bowl is not considered a "playoff".  You may treat it as such and use the results to manually set your draft order if you wish.  The remaining draft slots are filled with playoff teams, in reverse order of the playoff results.  So, last year's league champion gets the last pick in the first round, the runner-up gets the second-to-last pick,...and so on.

Q: We use Contract Years in our Keeper League  When does the beginning of the contract start?
A: Contracts start as soon as a player is added to your roster (via the draft, trade or free agent acquisition).  It will end when you trade or release the player, though you will have to Drop the player when his contract is up.  Contract end dates are always enforced before the start of the draft. If you Drop a player and pick him back up again within a week, his contract will continue. 

Q: We haven't started the season yet, but I need to drop 12 players before our draft.  When can I start dropping players?
A: You will be able to view your league all year, but when a new Fantasy season begins, you will not be able to perform any player maintenance until the MFS League Fee has been paid.  At that point, you will be able to Drop players only until the Draft begins.

Q: We played our first season as a Keeper League with MFS last season and I am ready to start a new season.  Do I need to have my team owners sign their teams up again?
A: No, you don't.  When you, as Commissioner, sign up for a new season of your Keeper League, all teams and managers will be registered automatically and all players will be loaded to each team.

Q: One of my team owners is bailing on our Keeper League.  How can I change his team over to a new team?
A: First off, do NOT delete the team manager that is leaving the league, no matter how upset you are at him!  This will release his players.  You will want to use the Commissioner Tool to Change Team Owners.  This will prompt you for the current owner's MFS ID and for the replacement owner's MFS ID.
