The league spreadsheet is the source of truth. Every player contract, waiver, and draft pick is recorded there. TAB maintains it.
How it is organized
Tabs are color-coded by group:
| Group | Tabs | What they hold |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Players, Teams, Picks | Every player contract, team, and draft pick in the league |
| Yellow | Off-Season, UFA, Options | Rebuilt each off-season — the schedule, that year's free agent list, and that year's option decisions |
| Green | Standings, Rosters, Waivers, Draft | Standings and lottery odds, roster and cap totals for all 30 teams, current waiver priority, and the results of the most recent draft |
| Blue | ATL, BOS, …
|
One tab per team, labeled with its abbreviation |
Where to look
| To check | Tab |
|---|---|
| Your roster, contracts, picks, and cap | Your team's |
| Who is available to bid on | UFA |
| Every option decision in the league | Options |
| This year's off-season dates | Off-Season |
| Current waiver priority | Waivers |
| Standings and lottery odds | Standings |
| The most recent draft's results | Draft |
| Every team's roster count and cap total | Rosters |
Your team tab
Open the blue tab carrying your team's abbreviation. It shows, season by season:
A summary block — your roster, Injured Reserve, G League, and re-sign counts against their maxima, plus payroll, cap hits, and cap space. Counts outside a limit are flagged, so you can see at a glance if you are over the roster maximum or the cap.
Your players, grouped into Active, Injured Reserve, and G League, with each contract laid out across the years it runs, re-signs marked, and UFA in the season the player becomes a free agent.
Draft picks you own, by year and round.
Cap hits from players you have waived.
Your forum page and Discord profile, linked — this is how other GMs reach you with a trade offer.
In the off-season
Your team tab also lists your upcoming free agents and option decisions at the bottom, so you can see what you need to decide before the option and re-sign windows.
Keep your roster post aligned
Your forum roster post must match the spreadsheet.
If the two disagree, the spreadsheet is right — and if something on it looks wrong, contact TAB rather than working around it.
