Rules

The Rules

* · 52 Million Dollar Cap
* · No clones
* · No waiver wire
* · Serpentine draft. 1 player per round in rounds 1-5, 2 players in round 6.


Draft Order

The returning GMs that did not make the playoffs will be in a NBA-style draft lottery. The other returning GMs will then be placed behind them in order of playoff finish(with regular season record the tiebreaker). New GMs will be placed behind them in order of who joined first.

GMs will have the option to request their spot in the draft order by indicating closer to 1/24/ when they sign up. You may change your choice up until the final draft order is set. GMs that did not indicate where they want to draft will be given whatever spots are left.

If you choose closer to 24 you will not be in the draft lottery. For the draft lottery, the commissioner will break ties (for the ping pong balls) by random.org. If the Commissioner's team is involved Commissioner will take the worse draft pick.

24 hour draft rule in Round 1. Commissioner will pick a player if a GM does not draft in 24 hours so the draft can proceed (No skips). After Round 1 players may be skipped but the Commissioner has discretion in selecting a player for the team.


Divisions

Divisions will NOT be random. They will be drafted by the division winners from last season. The division draft will take place immediately after the player draft ends, while we wait for the league to fill.

This season we are going to try something new and different to see how people like it (and to separate us a little bit more from the ODL.) The new rule is that you do not have to have seven draft picks. If you make trades and end up with two #1s and a #3 and nothing else that's okay! If you end up with three #3s, three #4s, and three #5s that's okay. If the NFL can do it then so can we. I will monitor trades to make sure someone doesn't trade two #6s for a #2, or something wacky like that, but let's give this a shot and see how it goes.

In again, using my lowest-finishing team from the last season to request draft position of closer to 1.

I'm a bit uneasy about the new rule, but I get that we're running an experiment. We'll see how it goes.
