Draft rules
1. you can draft Rookies or anyone on the WW drop before the draft started
2. same as in years past I will be make a post for each round
3. each pick will have 24 hrs from last made pick
4.after you make your pick you NEED to email the next person after you so the draft goes as smooth as possible
5. if you make a pick and don't have room on your roster knowing you were ask before the draft to drop players you will not get player and will lose that pick this is why we want everyone to have there roster set before the draft or make sure you drop the player before the pick
6. in years past a lot of trades are done during the draft which we know changes how many picks you make or want to drop a player so you can use another pick so to make this more fair any player release during the draft CAN NOT BE PICK/DRAFTED. this doesn't mean you can go into the draft with a full roster. I am trying to more lenient on this part of the draft so please don't abuse this rule so if you planning on drafting make sure you have open spots on your roster before the draft starts
7. if there is a player not on the Espn list yet, you can still pick them but it's your responsibility to add a retired player and keep track of the player you picked and add them when they are on the list but at any time if you drop that retired player and pick up a player that isn't that drafted player you lose the rights to that drafted player you pick. in case of another owner picking up your player before you could just let me know or one of my CO-LMs Chris, Matt or Adam.
