The draft order is set and posted. Keep in mind the draft will be snaking, so 1.1 is also 2.30.
Please be sure to read the rules about the initial draft and about trading. Of note, all trades during the initial draft must be of equal quantity for each side. You can not trade 3 for 1. When the initial draft is over, all teams will have 50 players. After the full draft is complete, teams may begin to trade unequal numbers. With that said, trading is now open.
Trading expectations:
If you are not updating your team page with your trades, I will begin rejecting or placing on hold trades you are involved in. It is imperative that each teams keeps current with records so that we do not have picks/players traded that should not be.
I would ask that you wait till a trade is updated on the draft pick tracker and archived before flipping a recently acquired pick/player. I.e. please don't create a giant wind down mess by flipping assets before trades have time to be reviewed.
Draft Expectations:
A poll will be posted shortly to serve only as advice for me to pick when the draft will officially start. I can not accommodate EVERYONE. I will try to take reasonable requests under consideration.
The initial round will start out with a 24 hour clock per pick. The pace will change and be updated as the draft moves along, therefore it is important that you check in as often as possible during the draft. I will be piloting the pace of the draft in order to land us at finish around the end of February to allow the league the month of March for free agency. This means the 50 round draft will likely play out over 5 months. The pace will quicken as we move through the rounds, so you will need to check in to get an idea of when you will be drafting. I will make every effort to give 24 hours notice if I change the pace or move up slotting later in the draft. If you know you can not be around during a pick window... please leave a list with myself, or any other active member you trust to make the pick on your behalf.
I will be largely intolerant of missed picks in the first several rounds as these picks are of high importance to each franchise. Communicate and make lists if needed. If you are inactive, non communicative, and missing picks early on then you will be replaced. I can't stress enough to leave lists if you won't be around. As the draft moves on, I will have a little more tolerance for missed picks as long as they are being made up timely. If you are falling behind more than 1 pick in first 20 rounds, you may get replaced. If you are falling behind more than 2 picks beyond that, you may be replaced. I would encourage you to make a post for being away if you know you wont have access to check in for more than a day. We can discuss how to make it work or what your plan is.
Best of luck to everyone.
