The Draft will begin IMMEDIATELY after the lottery. That means whoever “wins” the lottery and receives the #1 overall pick will be on the clock. They can make their selection as soon as they desire.
To make a selection please use the following format:
RD # PICK # the TEAM selects PLAYER
@ TEAM GM is now on the clock
This section of the draft has a 24-hour time limit to make a selection. GM’s please be aware of where you are in the draft and try to respond as promptly as possible when you are on the clock. Selecting teams make sure to tag the GM following your pick, so they are aware that they can now select their player.
This will be the format until we reach the LIVE section of the draft SUNDAY MAY 3 at 7pm PT, once the live portion of the draft begins each team will have 1 minute to make their selection.
If teams do not make a selection in time, the selection will be made for them automatically and the next GM will be on the clock.
Teams are allowed to trade draft picks. There must be an equal number of draft picks traded in order for the transaction to go through. These trades only need commissioner approval, the Trade Committee will not need vote on these trades.
We will be drafting the first 11 rounds, the last 4 will be simmed. Teams can send me their best available lists if there are players they’d like to draft in the later rounds and if those players are available we will get them on your roster.
Best available lists also apply for GMs that will not be able to make the LIVE portion of the draft. They can send in their lists and we will try to get as many of those players on your roster.
This will hopefully make the draft run smoothly and as effectively as possible. I encourage GMs to be active throughout the 'non-live' drafting phase and get through as many selections as possible so it won't be as chaotic during the live portion.
Do we still enter our picks in the Creation Draft thread?
OK thanks.
What happens if we aren't available does it automatically draft the best player?
