Off-Season Activities:
Each off-season GMs must perform the following activities in preparation for the upcoming season. If these are not done by May 1st, the GM may be replaced. This gives GMs four months to...
Select two Franchise Player (optional) from your expiring contracts and post him in the Free Agency Sub-board "Franchise Players". Put his new contract amount and the word "Franchise" or "Transitional" after his name on your roster. If this is his 2nd or 3rd Franchise, please note that.
Post your remaining expiring contracts in the Free Agency Sub-board "Unrestricted Free Agents". These players must be removed from your roster here and on MFL.
Post your Restricted Free Agents and tender offer in the Free Agency Sub-board "Restricted Free Agents" (one thread per player). If you do not want to tender an offer, post him in the "RFA Eligible (Non Tenders Only)" thread and remove him from your roster here and on MFL.
Move any injured players off Injured Reserve and back on to your active rosters here and on MFL. Remember, roster limits are suspended until the end of pre-season, so you are not limited to 50 players until then.
If you have a Practice Squad player who was never on your active roster and you would like to release him without a cap penalty, post him in "Waivers" as "released from Practice Squad".
If you have any Practice Squad players that have played over 16 games, they must be removed from your Practice Squad.
Update your team's "Salary Cap Hits" with your team's "Salary Cap Hits" (under the Waivers board). Cap hits that no longer apply will have been removed.
Update your Roster totals and Salary amounts.
Update your roster on MFL to match your roster here.
Off-Season Schedule:
This is the tentative schedule each off-season. The actual schedule will be posted each off-season in the "League Administration" board.
UFA posting, RFA tenders, Franchise and Team Option decisions must be done no later than April 1st (GMs may post these anytime before the deadline and they may be changed right up until the deadline. The deadline is firm and GM replacements will start the next day).

Tanking will not be tolerated. All owners must field their most competitive team each and every week. Teams will be penalized if it is blatantly obvious that they are not fielding their best players or if they are starting people on a bye week in order to enure a higher draft pick. Warnings will be given out unless it is obvious to the commissioner and tab members that the person is intentionally tanking, in this case a penalty may be assessed immediately. That being said, you will not be penalized if your roster does not permit you to field a complete team. Penalties will include loss or downgrading of draft picks.
ProBoards Message Board:
Each team has a sub-forum, and at a minimum, one team roster thread. This is where GMs must post and maintain their team's roster (including active roster, practice squad, and injured reserve). They must also include the team's player count and their total salary (Active Roster + Practice Squad + Injured Reserve + Unclaimed Waiver Cap Hits). Teams may also optionally maintain other threads such as team transactions, draft board, schedule, team records, player photos, whatever they wish.
Please activate your account and set your Proboards display name to your team name (whatever you want) Example Packers (Tyler) .... Click on "Profile" on the Main Menu Bar, click on "Modify Profile", enter your team name into "Display Name", enter your password (again), and press "Modify Profile" at the bottom.
During the off-season things slow down but don't completely stop. Check in occasionally between the Super Bowl and the real NFL draft. Trading never stops so you should at least occasionally check to see if you have a trade offer in your inbox.
