UFA Draft and Rookie Drafts
Each Offseason we will have an Unrestricted Free Agent Draft and Rookie Draft. The dates will be announced by the Commissioner(s)/League Managers, but the UFA Draft usually begins around the end of the first month of NFL Free Agency, and the Rookie Draft usually begins about one week after the NFL Draft. The draft order(s) will be determined by the previous year's final standings, and will begin with the last-placed team and end with the first-placed team.
UFA Draft Rules
• The UFA Draft is made up of 2 rounds. In the 1st Round, teams will be given a 24-hour period on the clock to make their pick, and 12 hours for the 2nd round. If they do not make the pick within the allotted time, the draft will automatically continue with the next scheduled pick.
• If a team's time on the clock (OTC) has passed, they may still make their pick at any time until the end of the round, but they forfeit any advantage over other teams in terms of their original draft position.
• If you do not possess the necessary cap, roster, or contract years space to make your pick, you cannot make a pick until you do.
• If you cannot make a selection, or do not wish to make a pick, you can simply post "Pass," so that we can keep the draft moving. Once a "Pass" is posted, a team may change their mind, but only before the next pick is made.
• At the time of the selection in the UFA Draft, a team must include both the dollar amount of the corresponding round (1st Round- $3, 2nd Round- $2, 3rd Round- $1) and the year length of the contract desired in correct form (Ex: Player Name (TEAM-POSITION) $dollar amount/years + the letter y), or else their pick will not be honored.
• Teams may not change their pick after it has been made, or edit the post that they made IN ANY WAY, unless told to do so by a Commissioner/League Manager.
Rookie Draft Rules
• The Rookie Draft is comprised of 3 rounds. In the 1st Round, teams will be given a 24-hour period on the clock to make their pick, and 12 hours for the 2nd and 3rd Rounds. If they do not make the pick within the allotted time, the draft will automatically continue with the next scheduled pick.
• If a team's time on the clock (OTC) has passed, they may still make their pick at any time until the end of the round, but they forfeit any advantage over other teams in terms of their original draft position.
• Unlike the UFA Draft, in the Rookie Draft, you may make picks without possessing the necessary cap, roster or contract years space to make your pick, though you must have this settled by the Rookie Signing Deadline, which will be announced by the Commissioner/League Manager.
• If you cannot make a selection, or do not wish to make a pick, you can simply post "Pass," so that we can keep the draft moving. Once a "Pass" is posted, a team may change their mind, but only before the next pick is made. However, unlike in the UFA Draft, you can not post "Pass" in the 1st Round of the Rookie Draft. If you attempt to do so, you will be removed from the league.
• At the time of the selection in the Rookie Draft, a team is only responsible for including a player's name, team and position in correct form (Ex: Player Name (TEAM-POSITION) or else their pick will not be honored. That position can and may change between the time of selection and the beginning of the season, and will be determined by Rotoworld depth charts. The contract terms will be added at Rookie Signing.
• Teams may not change their pick after it has been made, or edit the post that they made IN ANY WAY, unless told to do so by a Commissioner/League Manager.
