Re: Draft Day - How it works

So its called a snake draft which means if you pick first , the next round you pick last, and so on for everyone.

In normal other drafts, Day 1 picks are just that, on day 1.
In an allocation draft its a little different as you can see.....

07/17 2024 Draft Rounds 1 - 4
07/18 2024 Draft Rounds 5 - 8
07/19 2024 Draft Rounds 9 - 16
07/20 2024 Draft Rounds 17 - 26
07/21 2024 Draft Rounds 27 - 36
07/22 2024 Draft Rounds 37 - 46

So be ready with your draft lists, as you can see rounds 1 to 4 are ALL on the same day.

(Please be aware that the draft date will most likely chage due to people still coming into the league. At the moment there is a steady trickle, should that slow down or stop before the league is full I will notify everyone on the actual official start of the league draft...)

For the allocation draft only , trades are turned off. First day of late free agency it will be active .
Any trade will be available, please don’t abuse this or restrictions may come back .Anyone who thinks a trade is unfair can flag it up in the trade thread and/or DM me .

Most likely going to kick back the draft again as we’re still not full, but slowly filling

I think it's filling fast enough to wait until full.

No use having AI ruin teams just to start a couple days earlier.

Exactly this .
I’m still amazed at how quickly this is filling . Thought it was worth a shot though :)

It would also be nice to have days 1 and 2 be Saturday and Sunday. At least teams' first eight picks will be on weekend days.

The league I run we had one day between draft days due to the number of players getting drafted. It really helped in building the team up having the extra day to study the players and whatnot. It took longer to get through the allocation, but it was still interesting.

I'm not fond of gaps between days. Even the Saturday no spin drives me nuts
