as they have not been banned by the commissioner.

manner, cheating, collusion and/or for reasons currently beyond comprehension but for which, at

said time, the league deems banning appropriate through majority vote.

IV. Draft

A. Draft Process

1. In 2013, the draft order will be a random drawing and will take place at least 2 weeks prior to

season.

2. After 2013, the draft will be determined by the final standings of the previous season. The 1st

place team of the previous season will have the last pick, the 2nd place team will have the next to

last pick, the 3rd place team will have the third to last pick, and the 4th place team will have the

4th to last pick. The remaining 6 positions will be determined through a random drawing to take

place at least 2 weeks prior to draft day.

2. The random drawing must be performed in the presence of at least 2 league members.

3. Once the draft order is determined, the draft order will be in “snake” format (1st pick in round 1,

has last pick in round 2, and so forth).

4. The draft will either be on Labor day or the following day. The date/time will be discussed to

assure we don’t conflict with holiday plans.

5. The draft will be performed online or in person (w/skype for out of town people) based on a

majority vote.

6. The draft will be 18 rounds.

B. Keepers

1. Keepers will begin in the 2014 season.

2. Eligible keepers must be drafted and must have been on the retaining team’s roster at the

conclusion of last season. Traded players that were originally drafted may be kept by the acquiring

team.

2. Each franchise can keep a maximum of two players from the previous year’s roster, but is not

required to keeper any players.

3. By keeping a draft player, you forefeit the draft position that you acquired that player in. For

example, if you are keeping Tony Romo, who you drafted in the 3rd round, you will lose your third

pick in the new draft.

5. A player can be be kept for a maximum of 2 seasons, not including the the season in which the

player was drafted.

6. Any new franchise has the option to “adopt” an existing and unclaimed franchise’s roster and

retain eligible keepers for the new season.

7. Keepers must be turned in to the commissioner 5 days before the schedule draft time.

8. Any revisions to the keeper rule will not apply retroactively to players currently in “keeper”

status.

V. Waivers

1. All unowned players will be set as 'On Waivers' immediately after the draft, each week of play or

if dropped from another team's roster. Players on waivers will remain so for a set period of time,

during which all teams will have the opportunity to make a claim on any player. When the waiver

period expires, the player will be awarded to the team with the highest waiver priority that made

a claim, and that team will move to the end of the waiver order. This process continues until all

players with claims on them process. At this time all players not added via waivers become free

agents which can be claimed by any team on a first-come, first-served basis.

2. The waiver order will not reset itself after each week. Choose strategically.

3. The person with the first draft pick will automatically have the last waiver claim. The person

drafting second will have second to last claim and so on.

4. There are no limits on the amount of waiver/free agent claims that can be made in a season.

VI. Trades

A. Trades will be allowed from the end of the draft until the trading deadline as outlined in the

league settings page.

waiting periods.
