Our Rookie Draft will take place each year sometime around mid-May at noon and go until all picks have been made.
The rookie draft will consist of 4 rounds.
Prior to each draft a draft order will be generated based on a teams previous year record. Worst record will pick first. Ties will be decided by total points scored, the lower the amount of points the higher your draft pick in case of a tie. This will be the case for all non-playoff Teams. For playoff teams they will receive their draft order based on how they finished in the playoffs. For teams eliminated in the same week the team with the worst record will receive the higher pick. If that is a tie then the team with the lowest points scored for the year (regular season) will receive the lower draft pick.
Once the draft starts each team will have 24 hours during the 1st round, 16 hours in the second, and 12 in the 3rd and 6 hours in the 4th to make their pick. If a selection is not made within the pick time frame that team will be skipped. The next team may then pick.
If a team misses thier pick they may make that pick up at anytime by contacting the commish with their pick. If a team misses two picks we will pause the draft next time we return to that team to make sure the team is still active.*
Make your picks, pay attention, and be active.
