Aging & Retirement
Standard Aging Rules
At the end of each season, every player's future is determined by a random roll (1-100). The following table outlines the base risks associated with a player's age:
| Age | Retires (Roll) | Ages (Roll) | Safe (Roll) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20-27 | - | - | 1-100 |
| 28 | - | 1-5 | 6-100 |
| 29 | 1 | 2-20 | 21-100 |
| 30 | 1-20 | 21-40 | 41-100 |
| 31 | 1-30 | 31-50 | 51-100 |
| 32 | 1-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |
| 33 | 1-50 | 51-80 | 81-100 |
| 34 | 1-60 | 61-90 | 91-100 |
| 35+ | 1-70 | 71-100 | - |
*AGING means a loss of one notch in all significant attribute categories.

| 30 | - | 1-25 | 26-100 |
| 31 | 1-5 | 6-35 | 36-100 |
| 32 | 1-15 | 16-45 | 46-100 |
| 33 | 1-25 | 26-65 | 66-100 |

"A" Grade Auto Aging Penalty
Elite "A" grade players at core skill positions (QB, RB, WR, TE) are expected to be the focal point of their offenses. If an "A" grade player is "not being used" (fails to reach a specific fantasy point threshold), they will suffer an automatic attribute decrease in the offseason, regardless of their standard aging roll.
- QB: Must reach 280 fantasy points or lose 1 notch of PS, PC, & AB.
- RB: Must reach 330 fantasy points or lose 1 notch of RS, MS, HP, & REC.
- WR: Must reach 280 fantasy points or lose 1 notch of RS, MS, & REC.
- TE: Must reach 95 fantasy points or lose 1 notch of RS, MS, HP, & REC.
How It Works (Example)
Let's say a player is 29 years old and was eligible at their position (e.g., ranked 4th statistically).
A standard 29-year-old has a 20% risk (Roll 1-20) of aging or retiring, with a 1% retirement chance (Roll 1) included.
Since the player was eligible, his retirement risk is eliminated (reduced by 25%), and his total aging risk is reduced by 15%. This leaves him with only a 5% chance of aging (Roll 1-5).
Result: If the random number generated is 24, the player stays in the league with no attribute loss (Safe).
