2024 BOWIS Tournament
Best Of What If Sports
Prove you are the best!

22-23/23-24 Draft

Rules:

1. No clones, rookies, or waiver wire.

2. Each user is responsible for drafting and managing a team that remains in compliance with the league rules.

3. 7 exclusive drafted players, plus 5 non-exclusive undrafted players. The 5 non-exclusive undrafted players may be any eligible player not selected in the draft. Each user must use their drafted players.

4. All 22-23 and 23-24 players are eligible. Drafting a player gives that user exclusive rights to either season of the player.

5. Draft Sequence: ABBABB. 1 pick rounds 1-5 and 2 picks in round 6.

6. Draft order: Draft lottery will use the New York Lottery. Each user will be given a time slot. The first three numbers drawn during that time slot will be your score. Lowest score will be number 1 and so on. Ties will be broken by whoever has the lowest 4th number.

7. A posted pick is FINAL. No changing picks after a selection is posted. If an ineligible selection is made, the draft will continue on and the user who made the selection will have to make another pick. Other users do not have to wait for the makeup pick to be made.

8. During the draft, site mail the next 2 users on the schedule after making your pick, or state that you cannot site mail and somebody will take care of it.

9. Draft will be on the clock. 24 hour rule in place.

10. Trades are allowed, but only for entire draft slots, not individual picks.

11. Divisions: Divisions will be random.

12. During the draft, please refrain from mentioning undrafted players.

13. Any playoff game where a typical "Best Player" plays more than 50% less minutes than their min/82 (exceptions to be made for foul trouble) will be considered a tank game. Users are not allowed to tank a playoff game unless:

They announce on the league chat that they are tanking the game by 10:00 EST

Any announcement after this time will be considered void.
Any game that is tanked without an announcement prior to 10:00 EST will result in the following game being forfeited as well.

If an announcement is made that one opponent is tanking a game, the other user still needs to ensure that they are not tanking the game. If user A announces they are tanking, and user B plays one of their "Best Players" less than 50% of their min/82, user B will forfeit their next game and will not be allowed to tank that game.

"Best Players" are defined as the players any reasonable user would clearly play if they were trying to win.

14. The "Commissioner" may take control of any team refusing to comply with the ODL league rules. A warning will be issued in the league forum and a sitemail, after which the user has 3 games to comply. All games in violation are 'losses'.

15. Commissioner: benhoidal

sm next please

Let me apologize in advance to everyone. I found out yesterday that my dog has cancer. My head is not in the draft right now. On top of that I’m leaving tomorrow for a family vacation in Yellowstone. I will do my best to draft as quickly as possible when my turn comes around. Timing couldn’t be worse to do a draft. Again, I apologize and will do my best.

Anthony Davis

Can someone please SM for me? Thanks!

So so so sorry to hear that, Kam! Give your Dog the best end of life possible and spoil them rotten. Have a great vacation.

Very sorry to hear that Kammeyer. Try to enjoy your vacation.
