Basic Draft Rules:
Only players from the current year draft are available to be drafted
We will use a 12-hour clock
Example: So if the draft starts at 10am EST, the first GM has until 10pm EST to make their selection. Once that pick is made, the 12-hour clock starts for the next GM - If pick 1 is made at 11:30am EST, the next GM has until 11:30pm EST to make their selection
Clock Stoppage Overnight:
We will stop the 12-hour clock from running through the night - we all have lives, families, etc here.
From 1:00am EST to 7:00am EST we will not count those 6 hours towards the 12-hour clock.
...It's not that you can't make your pick during that time, it's more-so a 6-hour freeze that doesn't count towards your 12-hour clock.
Once your pick is made, it would be a nice courtesy to Personal Message the next GM in line (or next 2-3 even) to let them know they are OTC.
We will send out a mass PM to the league when the draft starts - perhaps just "Reply All" to that PM once your pick is made, then everyone in the league knows where the draft is at.
All rookies will be assigned a 4 year contract with years 3 and 4 team options (highlighted in yellow on spreadsheet). You can find yearly salary below.
