After each season, we will have a rookie daft and all available free agents that do not enter the auction process will be available as well. Here are the parameters for the draft:
1. Draft will be a total of 5 rounds.
2. Rookies can be signed to any length deal so long as your team cap never exceeds 65 years. Every player drafted must be signed to at least 1 year.
3. Draft order will be determined by the final standings on the regular season for the first six teams, and the next six playoff teams will be in order of how they finished in the playoffs. If/when RTSPORTS has the capabilities to use Potential Points to determine the draft order, we will most definitely switch to that!
4. You can trade during the draft. This includes players, draft picks, future draft picks and Beer Tokens. You can trade up to two years in adnvance for future draft picks.
The rookie/free agent draft is one of, if not the most important aspect of this dynasty league. The incoming rookie class will provide you with a future player that will pay big dividends right away or in future seasons for your franchise. Like the NFL, it will be the responsibilty of the GM to scout, research and study on the future of their franchise. Do not take this process lightly! As noted above, you can sign your incoming rookie player to ANY length contract as you see fit and under your cap.
SANDBAGGING: In the event that a GM decides that an incoming rookie is so valuable that he feels inclined to alter his lineup to get a higher pick will result in a heavy Beer Token fine, ridicule, and possible EXPULSION of the league. This league will become very competitive and all owners will be seeking ways to gain an advantage to help their franchises. This better not be one of them! On a personal note, I did have this happen to me and my league early in my commissioner career. It was one of the most heinous acts committed and it still bothers me to this day and that was nearly 7 years ago. I will not tolerate this in my league and neither should you. Please try and submit the best possible lineup and be as competitve as possible even though your franchise might be going through a terrible "funk". Sometimes that #2 pick turns out to be a better player than the #1.
