Draft time was set with everyone’s location in mind. We have some overseas owners in the league so we wanted to find a time period that could work for all.
Round 1
Draft Length: 1 Round
Draft Picks In Round: 30 Picks
Draft Type: Standard
Draft Time: 24 hours each pick
Draft Platform: Proboards
The main goal of the moderated 1st round is to ensure all teams have a clear understanding of the contract rules. (Ex. Drafting UFA/RFA, Resign Tags, and the Salary Cap). In any situation where a pick is submitted regarding the previously mentioned factors, If need I will clarify the decision with the owner to ensure they understand.
1st RD Only!
Rounds 2-9
Draft Length: 8 Rounds
Draft Picks In Round: 30 Picks
Draft Type: Standard
Draft Time: 18 Total Draft Hours
Draft Room Hours: 1pm-10pm EST
Draft Platform: Email Thread/Proboards
Example 1
Team A drafts a player at 1:30 PM EST
Team B drafts a player at 2:00 PM EST
Example 2
Team A drafts a player at 1:30PM EST
Team B drafts their player at 6:00 PM EST
A team on the clock technically can go 2 full days absent of bidding before depleting their draft hours. If a franchise is absent throughout the draft, replacement will be discussed. It is encouraged that you use your allotted draft hours. They are there to provide you flexibility based on your schedule. I also encourage you to submit a Top 15 if you will be unavailable.
In any situation where an owner fears they may be unavailable for their pick, they can send myself or any league moderator a Top 15 player rank by their preferred Draft Order. When the absent owner pick comes, their selection will auto-pick to the available player with their highest ranking.
Trust me, I am not gunning for your picks. I assure you, if I’m targeting the same player on the list, if your pick comes first, you get the player.
After Hours Drafting
After Hours Drafting is allowed, yet it will not be required. It will adhere to the Draft order and any team on the clock can draft at their discretion.
Example 3
The Draft can be suspended by the commissioner due to extreme circumstances. (Ex. Site issues)
Your team headquarters will be updated and confirmed every night when drafting closes.

Round 1
Draft Length: 1 Round
Draft Picks In Round: 30 Picks
Draft Type: Standard
Draft Time: 24 hours each pick
Draft Platform: Proboards
- The 1st round will be a moderated slow draft on Proboards.
- Each owner will be given 24 hours to make their selection.
- When selecting a player, an owner will simply message the commissioner with their selection.
- Once the pick has been confirmed by the commissioner the pick will be posted via Proboards, and the next team will be on the clock.
- The commissioner will contact each owner by their preferred method of contact listed in their Front Office, when they are currently on the clock.
- If an owner fails to make the pick within the 24 hour time frame, the available, qualifying player with the highest AFPPG and fitting salary will be drafted.
- All selections will be listed via Proboards and the Mock Draft Room spreadsheet
.
- At the conclusion of the 1st round, we will suspend drafting for the remainder of that day, and resume Rounds 2-9 the following day.
The main goal of the moderated 1st round is to ensure all teams have a clear understanding of the contract rules. (Ex. Drafting UFA/RFA, Resign Tags, and the Salary Cap).

Rounds 2-9
Draft Length: 8 Rounds
Draft Picks In Round: 30 Picks
Draft Type: Standard
Draft Time: 18 Total Draft Hours
Draft Room Hours: 1pm-10pm EST
Draft Platform: Email Thread/Proboards
- Every franchise will be allotted a total of 18 Draft hours.
- In any situation where a franchise takes longer than 1 hour to make their selection, their running time will be deducted from their Draft Hours.
Example 1
Team A drafts a player at 1:30 PM EST
Team B drafts a player at 2:00 PM EST
- Because this selection was within the 1 hour grace period, Team B will not be charged any draft hours.
Example 2
Team A drafts a player at 1:30PM EST
Team B drafts their player at 6:00 PM EST
- Due to the fact it took Team B 4 ½ hours to make their pick, they exceeded their 1 hour threshold. Their time will be deducted from their allotted Draft Hours leaving them with 13 ½ hours remaining. (Times will be rounded to the nearest half hour).
- If a franchise uses all their allotted draft hours they will be forced into “Auto-Draft” mode. For the sake of creating a full simulation mock draft, the available, qualifying player with the highest AFPPG and fitting salary will be drafted.
A team on the clock technically can go 2 full days absent of bidding before depleting their draft hours. If a franchise is absent throughout the draft, replacement will be discussed. It is encouraged that you use your allotted draft hours. They are there to provide you flexibility based on your schedule. I also encourage you to submit a Top 15 if you will be unavailable.
In any situation where an owner fears they may be unavailable for their pick, they can send myself or any league moderator a Top 15 player rank by their preferred Draft Order. When the absent owner pick comes, their selection will auto-pick to the available player with their highest ranking.
- The franchise’s pick has to be within 10 spots, to submit a Top 15.
- Once the franchises pick arrives, they can no longer submit a Top 15 until the next round.
Trust me, I am not gunning for your picks. I assure you, if I’m targeting the same player on the list, if your pick comes first, you get the player.
After Hours Drafting
After Hours Drafting is allowed, yet it will not be required. It will adhere to the Draft order and any team on the clock can draft at their discretion.
Example 3
- Team A drafts their player at 9:45 PM EST
- Team B is on deck, but we are outside of our mandatory draft hours. Team B is allowed to make their pick even though we are outside of active draft hours. If Team B drafts a player, Team C will now be on deck.
- Team C now has the option to wait until active draft hours when they will be on the clock to make their pick, or they can make an after- hours selection. If Team C drafts a player, the same process will continue.
The Draft can be suspended by the commissioner due to extreme circumstances. (Ex. Site issues)
Your team headquarters will be updated and confirmed every night when drafting closes.
