Draft Order will initiate with the 4th place individual getting the first choice for draft position and the followed by choice in the regular order that we have followed in all years since league inception.
Drop and Draft
There are two drop and drafts in this league during each season. The first occurs in week 6. Each team is allowed to drop one player from their roster and replace with an available free agent at the same position. The teams with the lowest record and points will pick first and follow through until the first place team has picked. Dropping a player is not mandatory so teams can choose to pass on the option to drop and player and replace from free agency.
The same process takes place again in week 12 following the same process.
All players who have been used to address injury issues from preceding weeks are to be returned to the free agent pool to be available to all in the drop and draft process.
