Hello guys, back for another year!
The first round of the rookie draft will be round 26.
The normal rules will apply, anyone drafting a rookie before round 26 will have the ability to have it stolen in Round 26.
We are also keeping the same scheme for FAAB
Draft Order/FAAB: (Worst teams from last season 1st, League Champ and League Runner Up automatically at end of round, overall record and points determine rankings)
Per normal league rules, the FAAB (Free agent acquisition budget) also favors the teams that were worse in the preceeding year. Your draft pick will correspond to your FAAB budget.
1 - $255
2 - $245
3 - $235
4 - $225
5 - $215
6 - $205
7 - $195
8 - $185
9 - $175
10 - $165
11 - $155 (League Runner Up)
12 - $145 (League Champ)
Just a reminder about the playoff setup - Division champs buy a ticket, with 3 wildcards. Seeding is determined by overall record and tiebreakers (ie, winning a division does not give you an additional benefit)
You can keep any player on your roster at the end of last season. New teams will have a draft (if there are more than 1 new team) of remaining talent, or if a single team, will be given the opportunity to take all players that were not reserved and not rookies, prior to the rookie eligible draft.
This is an update from 9/3, clarifying wording.
