The losers in the first round will play each other for 5th and 6th place. The playoff settings in our League Settings on yahoo will determine the match-ups for the Playoffs.

c. Teams may only designate a player as a Keeper for two drafts.
d. The first year a Keeper is announced they will maintain their same draft round position as the previous season (ie. A player picked in the sixth round that is designated as a keeper will be considered a sixth rounder).
e. The second year a Keeper is announced they will be considered as a first round draft pick regardless of their draft round position the previous season.
f. A Keeper that was drafted after the 9th round or picked up as a Free Agent will be considered a 10th round pick for Keeper concerns. So you’d give up your 10th round pick to keep this player the first year.
g. If a team elects to keep two players with the same original draft pick or two players picked after the 9th round, they will give up the original rounds pick and the next one. So if you keep two 2nd round picks from the previous year you would give up your 2nd and 3rd round picks. If you keep two late picks or Free Agents you would give up your 10th and 11th picks.
h. You may only keep one player at any position, so you cannot keep 2 Running Backs.
i. Once Keepers have been selected, but PRIOR to the Draft, if a Keeper-choice is injured and placed on Injured Reserve, the Team Manager can choose to forgo drafting this Keeper. No replacement Keeper may be chosen.
