Draft Start Date & Time: August 11th, 2017 NOON EST
Draft Length: 2 Rounds
Draft Picks In Round: 30 Picks
Draft Type: Standard
Draft Time: 24 hours each pick
Draft Platform: Proboards/Groupme
-The draft will be a moderated slow draft on Proboards.
-Each owner will be given 24 hours to make their selection.
- The trading process will be expedited during the 2017 Rookie Draft, following the procedures listed below.
1. Trades will need to receive 5 approval votes from non participating parties in order to pass. However, for every veto, another approval must be made. This continues until the vote has reached either 5 vetoes (fail) or 5 approvals (pass).
2. The draft clock does not reset when trading picks. So make sure you are diligent with your trade talks. Once a trade is posted, I would urge you to let everyone know in the Groupme chat.
3. If a trade is vetoed, it must be renegotiated prior to reposting. (You can just repost a vetoed trade hoping to get 5 new owners to vote on and approve it)
4. Teams are allowed to trade draft picks, as well as players draft rights.
-When selecting a player, an owner will post their pick via the 2017 FFD Rookie Draft thread. Once the pick has been posted via Proboards, the next team will be on the clock.
-Owners are responsible for staying on top of the draft, and being ready once on the clock. It is not the responsibility of the Executive Committee to contact owners when on the clock. To help move the draft along, Executive members or Team Owners may contact the team on the clock, but that would be a personal decision and not a league requirement.
-If an owner fails to make the pick within the 24 hour time frame, the next team can make their pick. The owner whose pick was skipped can make up that pick at anytime, as long as the chosen player has not already been drafted.
-All selections will be listed via Proboards and the 2017 FFD Rookie Draft spreadsheet.
- Teams are drafting a players draft rights. It does not mean you are forced to sign them. Teams will have until the rookie signing deadline to make this decision.
- All drafted Rookie contracts will mirror their actual NBA contracts.
-The Draft can be suspended by the Commissioner due to extreme circumstances. (Ex. Site issues)
-In the case that the spreadsheets are not updated live due to the Commissioners Committee being unavailable, your team headquarters will be updated as soon as someone becomes available.
