The Year-One Formula Allotments for each non-compensatory Draft selection shall be calculated using the following steps/methodology:

• First: Determine the Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool (excluding compensatory selections and one-third of the Undrafted Rookie Reservation) for the prior League Year and deduct from that amount the cumulative minimum salaries for players with zero Credited Seasons on a Club’s Active/Inactive List (“Minimum Salaries”) for all 224 noncompensatory draft picks (the “Year-One Pool In Excess of Minimum Salaries”) (“YOPIEMS”)) (e.g., in 2018, the Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool (excluding compensatory selections and one-third of the Undrafted Rookie Reservation), was $220,390,000; deduct Minimum Salaries of $107,520,000 (224 non-compensatory draft picks × $480,000) to obtain the 2018 YOPIEMS of $112,870,000 ($220,390,000 - $107,520,000).
• Second: Calculate the YOPIEMS for the current League Year (e.g., in 2019, the Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool (excluding compensatory selections and one-third of the Undrafted Rookie Reservation) was $232,741,000; deduct Minimum Salaries of $110,880,000 (224 non-compensatory draft picks × $495,000) to obtain the 2019 YOPIEMS of $121,861,000 ($232,741,000 - $110,880,000).
• Third: Compare the current year YOPIEMS to the YOPIEMS for the prior League Year to obtain the “Growth Percentage”) e.g., in 2019, ($121,861,000 ÷ $112,870,000) = 107.9658%).
• Fourth: For each non-compensatory Draft selection from the prior League Year, identify the amount of the Year-One Rookie Allocation in Excess of Minimum Salary (“YORAIEMS”) by subtracting the minimum salary for a player with zero Credited Seasons on a Club’s Active/Inactive List (“Minimum Salary”) from the Year-One Rookie Allocation for that selection;
• Fifth: Multiply the YORAIEMS for each non-compensatory Draft Selection in the prior League Year by the Growth Percentage (as defined above) to determine the current year YORAIEMS;
• Sixth: Add the current year Minimum Salary (e.g., $495,000 in 2019) to the current year YORAIEMS to obtain the current Year-One Rookie Allocation (“YORA”) for each Draft Selection;
• Seventh: Divide each Draft selection’s YORA by the current year Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool (excluding compensatory selections and one-third of the Undrafted Rookie Reservation) to obtain the current year Year-One Formula Allotment.
