2014 GM LEAGUE DRAFT RULES
1. The draft will begin 3/29 at 12:00PM ET.
2. Each team will receive a one hour time slot to make their selection when they are on the clock. It is their choice to use up that time or to make their selection right away.
3. We will be shutting down the draft from 10:00 PM ET to 12:00PM ET that way members don't need to make their picks early into the morning. If a GM wishes to make his pick when he's on the clock while the draft is closed, he may do so. The formula will just repeat itself for the next GM on the clock, but the timeslots will not change. The final pick of the day doesn't have to be made at 10:00 PM ET, but the first pick of the next day has the right to "jump" the other player starting at 11:00 PM ET.
4. You may leave a draft bulletin to any of the Draft Committee Members or the GM League Moderators if your selection is coming up and you're not sure if you'll be around during your pick. Below is an example of a draft bulletin:
Team A Draft Bulletin at #4 Overall:
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
3. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
4. Matt Kalil, OT, USC
5. There will be two boards, an official draft thread and an unofficial draft thread. If you wish to talk and speculate about each teams picks, please do so in the unofficial draft thread. Official draft thread is for drafting players ONLY.
6. If you fail to pick a player for your given time slot and don't give us a bulletin for us to go by, we will be forced to go BPA for your team. The committee will pick for said team at the conclusion of the day for when the team was supposed to pick thus giving you some time if you're running late.
7. If you do not show up for the draft, as in if you don't leave a bulletin and make us pick for you (BPA), you will forfeit your draft selections if we must do this for TWO straight selections. For example:
Team A has a first round pick at #29 overall and a second round pick at #49 overall. If the Committee must choose their player for both selections, they will forfeit their remaining picks unless they contact Saint Greg or GridIronKing34 or Mach with a good reason for their absence.
8. Please do not complain if the draft committee selects a player you didn't want if you failed to show up for your time slot OR didn't leave a bulletin. You've been warned.
9. You do not have to sign your draft picks but you must have enough room to sign the ones you do. The salaries for rookies will be posted.
10. The draft committee is a group of individuals who will monitor the draft with the GM League Moderators. The draft committee is a group of veteran GMs who have demonstrated good organization skills and who have knowledge about the upcoming NFL draft. This years draft committee is the following:
GM League Draft Committee
1. Mach (Admin)
2. GridIronKing34 (Moderator)
3. TBD
11. Make this years draft enjoyable. Please do your best to show up for your draft times, which means check the draft time-slots (located below) to see when your pick comes up. If you notice that your selection is comes up soon, please send a bulletin in case you cannot make your draft selection. Set each time that you'll be on the clock in your phone's calendar or something... the less picks the committee has to make, the better.
