Here are the Particulars you all need to know heading into our First Year Player Draft (FYPD). The FYPD will officially begin on Friday, November 1st @ 9:00 am ET, however, I am going to open up the Draft thread if GMs want to begin before the official date. The 12 hour clock will not start until November 1st, so if a pick is made before the official date, it will have no effect on the next person up until the draft officially begins.
Here are the rules:
Item AX D 2.0 Draft Order
1.) The draft order is determined by using the previous year's win/loss record in reverse order, non-snake. In the event of a tie, Total Points For is used as the tie breaker.
2.) The draft will last 10 rounds, but teams are not required to participate in all rounds if they do not wish to make room on either their 40 man or MiLB rosters.
3.) Teams are given 12 hours to draft in Rd.1 and Comp. Rd. The time limit is 8 hours for all remaining rounds.
Item AX D-3.0 Draft Eligible Players
Only players that are drafted and signed by MLB teams in the current year's MLB draft are eligible. Foreign players and unprotected prospects will be handled via free agency (however foreign players may warrant consideration for an additional rule)
Item AX D-4.0 Draftee/Draft Pick Limitations
1.) Trading of draft picks is not allowed.
2.) The 60-day no trade ruling is extended to include draftees.
Item AX D-5.0 Entry Draft Contracts
Players drafted in the FGM entry draft will be given Prospect Contracts, (P-n/a),and can be placed on a teams MiLB roster or 40 man roster.
Item AX D-6.0 How Draft Will Be Conducted
1.) Each team must make their selection within the alloted time. If, for any reason, you are not going to be available to make your selection within that time please submit a prioritized list of desirable players to the Draft Monitor.
2.) If a list has been supplied you will receive the highest available player from that list.
3.) If a list has not been supplied you will receive that highest rated player according to Baseball America's Top 500 list. You will also be placed in Auto-Pick where you will continue to receive the highest rated player from the BA Top 500 until you request to be removed from Auto Pick.
