  FREE AGENCY
  Throughout the season teams can drop or add players through the website.

• Dropping A Player – If a player is injured or underperforming, a team can drop a player which will place that player in free agency.
• Adding A Player – Teams can add players from the free agency pool by logging into the website.  In order to add a player, the team must also drop a player at the same time. If two teams select the same free agent, the team with the worst record will have first rights to that player.
• Free Agency – Roster changes applied for, from 12:51pm EST Sunday through 11:59pm EST Tuesday will occur on Wednesday based waiver priority order. Roster changes applied for, from Wednesday through 12:50pm EST Sunday will occur in real time (first come, first serve)
• Note - Once a player is released, that played is ineligible to be picked up until the following week. (This stops illegal trading)
  
  *During week 1 of the season, priority will go to the team that selected last during the draft.

Player Substitutions - WTFF EXCLUSIVE!
What NFL team isn’t allowed to make substitutions during the game? If your QB goes down, you need to throw in the back up.  If your RB isn’t performing, it’s time to give that rookie a shot. With World Tavern Fantasy Football,

YOU CAN MAKE UP TO 3 SUBSTITUTIONS A WEEK!

Just watch any Sunday night, Monday night or Thursday night game at our bar, and if at least 2 of your owners are present, you will be allowed to sit one of your starters down and put in the superstar (even if they have already played).
