GM LEAGUE DRAFT RULES
The GM League Draft will be held March 27 to April 17. We will do a full 7 round draft.
COMPENSATORY PICKS:
There will be 32 compensatory draft picks that will be determined after the GM League free agency period based on the highest contracts by Free Agents signing with a new team.
DRAFT HOURS OF OPERATION
We will be shutting down the draft from 11:00 PM EST to 11:00AM EST 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.
DRAFT TIME ALLOTTED
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.
INABILITY TO MAKE SLOTTED DRAFT TIME:
If you are going to miss your draft slot send a list to either Mach or Witlon to automatically make your pick.
A list should look like this:
EXAMPLE:
Team A
1. Player A, QB, A School (if not available, go to pick 2)
2. Player B, RB, B School (if not available, go to pick 3)
3. Player C, WR, C School
and so forth. There's no limit.
IF NO LIST IS SENT:
If you fail to pick a player for your given time slot and don't give us a list to go by, we will be forced to go BPA for your team. We will pick for said team at the conclusion of the round or day for when the team was supposed to pick thus giving you some time if you're running late.
SIGNING/NOT SIGNING DRAFT PICKS:
You do not have to sign your draft picks but you must have enough room to sign the ones you do. You must announce you will not sign/tender the ones you will not keep.
DRAFT PICK SALARIES:
Draft pick salaries will be posted in this thread. You will need to keep track of your picks and what they will cost to ensure you do not go over the cap after draft day. Rookie salaries will be determined by where they are drafted. Players drafted in the first 96 picks will be subjected to full dead money hits, if traded.
UNDRAFTED FREE AGENCY:
For undrafted free agency, the same rules apply as post-nomination unrestricted free agency. A player must go a full 24 hours without their current offer being raised. The minimum salary offer for an undrafted free agent is TBD
Please do your best to show up for your draft times, which means check the draft time-slots (located in the Draft Thread) to see when your pick comes up. If you notice that your selection comes up soon, please send a list 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 we have to make, and slow down the draft, the better.
