1. Go to the Commissioner -> Manage League -> Draft -> Edit page and answer the following questions:
   
   When will your draft start? Remember, this time is Eastern Time.
   Do you want the system to automatically start the draft at your start time?
   No -- The commissioner will manually start the draft sometime after the designated start time.
   Yes -- Start the draft automatically at the designated start time.
   Will there be a time limit on each team? You can setup no time limit for your owners to make a pick, or you can specify a time limit as small as 2 minutes. In addition you can determine the consequences of missing a pick.
   How many rounds will your draft last? Set the number of rounds your draft will last here.
   What type of draft will this be? Straight (1-N, 1-N, 1-N... each round) or S-Style (1-N, N-1, 1-N... alternating each round) You must then input your initial draft order or put in a random order if desired. If you have a custom draft order for each round, you will still need to input a draft order here. The League-> Draft page will allow you to input a custom draft order for each round if desired.
   
   After completing these questions, press the Submit Rules button.
   
   Note: Selecting the Commissioner -> Manage League -> Draft -> Delete link will completely erase your draft information as if it was never entered in the first place. If you have already completed your draft it will erase the final Draft Tracker results that show which players were drafted by each team. However, your rosters will stay intact.
   
   Note: If you use our Platinum service and have the option to have "The same NFL player be on multiple Fantasy Football League rosters only if they are in different conferences", then you will be able to setup seperate drafts for each of your conferences. At the top of the page will be a Conference selection option.
   
   Note: If you use our Platinum service and have setup seperate drafts for your conferences, you will need to setup seperate draft orders for each of them. At the top of the page will be a Conference selection option.
   
   
2. Go to the League -> Draft page. At the top of the page you will see a countdown timer showing the time remaining until your draft starts as well as the team first up once your draft begins. If you need to modify the draft order for any of the rounds, use the Update button. A seperate window will appear with controls allowing you to modify the draft order for any of the rounds. Clicking the PDF link will display a PDF file with the draft order for each round.
   
   Once your draft begins, the stoplight at the top of the page will turn green and become an active control allowing you to Pause and Resume your draft at will. In addition, the countdown timer now reflects the amount of time left for the team on the clock to make their pick. To make a pick for a particular owner you can use the MAKE PICK! button. A seperate window will appear with controls for adding players to the roster as well as a display of the owner's Pre-Draft List for reference.
   
   Prior to the draft begin time, each of the team owners participating in the live draft will need to login to the web site and access the League -> Draft page. When it is their turn to be on the clock, they will get access to the MAKE PICK! button and will be able to add a player to their roster. If any of your owners are using the Auto-Picker mode, their picks will be made automatically based on their Draft Cheatsheet.
   
   Once your draft is finished the stoplight at the top of the page will be red showing the draft is completed. Clicking the PDF link will display a PDF file with the final draft results.
   
   Note: If you use our Platinum service and have setup seperate drafts for your conferences, then you will be able to switch between them using the conference selector at the top of the page.

• Off. Turn the auto-picker off. The user must select his/her players from the live draft board manually. If the league has a constraint on the time to make a pick, the user must select the desired player before the time is up or the selection will be skipped.
  
  
• Instant. Allow the auto-picker to select the next player from your draft cheatsheet as soon as it is your turn to pick. The user will not be manually making a pick in this instance, so fill out your draft cheatsheet wisely! Two important notes about this mode:
  
  1. If your draft is running, you are currently up in the draft order, and you select "INSTANT", the system will IMMEDIATELY make a pick for your team. Be sure to know the current state of your draft before you change to this mode.
  2. If, for any reason, your cheatsheet is invalid (all of the players on the list have been taken, selecting any of the remaining players on your list will violate roster compositions or salary cap limits, etc.) your turn will NOT be skipped, rather you will still be on the clock and your auto-pick mode will automatically be shut off.
  
  
• Fail-Safe. Not available if your draft does not have a time limit for selections. Allow the auto-picker to select the next player from my draft cheatsheet only if I did not make a selection within the time limit for my draft. Fail-Safe mode is used when you believe you may not be able to get your pick in on time (due to internet connectivity problems, for example) and you do not want your turn to be skipped. If, for any reason, your cheatsheet is invalid (all of the players on the list have been taken, selecting any of the remaining players on your list will violate roster compositions or salary cap limits, etc.) your turn WILL be skipped, as your time has expired and a pick could not be made for you.
  
  

Cap values are counted against the team's limit as each team adds corresponding players to their roster. Once a player is on a team's roster, the player's salary is "frozen" for that team. In other words, once a team has a player the commissioner cannot alter that team's salary amount by changing that player's the cap value. If the team drops and then re-acquires the player the new salary cap value will then be applied.

• Fieldgoals of ANY length for ANY reason.
• Touchdowns, and accompanying extra point or 2-point conversion, of ANY length if scored by the opposing offense.
• IF a league uses combined defense and special teams, punt returns, kickoff returns, blocked punts, and blocked fieldgoals for touchdowns, and accompanying extra points or 2-point conversions.

• Interception return for touchdown and and accompanying extra point or 2-point conversion.
• Fumble return for touchdown and and accompanying extra point or 2-point conversion.
• ANY safety for ANY reason.
• IF a league uses separate defense and special teams, punt returns, kickoff returns, blocked punts, and blocked fieldgoals for touchdowns, and accompanying extra points or 2-point conversions.

A protected free agent is a free agent player that has just been dropped or released by a team in the league and has not cleared the protected time set by the commissioner. The commissioner can specify a particular number of days to protect a free agent (1 to 90) or he can opt to protect "Until beginning of the next FFL week". In addition he can protect "Until end of season" to help prevent collusion, etc. at playoff time. Leagues using a waiver wire can also select "Until the next Waiver Wire" as the availability time of newly released free agents.

For example, my league has a 2 day protective period to prevent collusion. If I release a player at noon on Tuesday, other owners will not be allowed to pick him up until noon on Thursday.

How do you know if a player is protected? A list of currently protected players will be displayed on your Add/Drop page where you pick up free agents. Team owners will not be given the ability to acquire players while protected. Commissioners, as always, can put any player on any team at any time. Don't for get there is a report that shows all adds and drops where commissioners and owners can check transactions if you have questions about when a player was dropped or added.

When the commissioner enters a trade for 2 teams, the transaction takes place immediately and is final. Owners, on the other hand, only "propose" trades to other owners. At that point an automatic email is sent to the other owner detailing the trade proposal. The other owner, in turn, may accept or reject the trade proposal. Accepting a trade performs the transaction for both teams, finalizing the trade. Commissioners cannot propose a trade for a team, but may reject any trade proposal. Remember, too, that the commissioner has the power to nullify any trade by placing the players back on their original roster.

Worst to First by Standings.
Players will be awarded in reverse standings order. The team with the worst win-loss record will be awarded a player first, if one is requested. Then the team with the second worst overall win-loss record will be awarded a player, if one is requested. This continues until the team with the best overall win-loss record is awarded a player. Then round 2 of the waiver begins and the team with the worst win-loss record is awarded a second player, if requested, and so on. Each team will be awarded one player and only one player per round of the waiver wire. If a team requests no players that team will simply be skipped. Awards continue until all waiver wire request lists have been processed or all teams have been awarded the maximum number of players allowed in a waiver wire by league rules.

Worst to First by Total Points Scored.
Players will be awarded in reverse order of total points scored for the season. The team with the fewest total points scored will be awarded a player first, if one is requested. Then the team with the second fewest total points scored will be awarded a player, if one is requested. This continues until the team with the most total points scored is awarded a player. Then round 2 of the waiver begins and the team with the fewest total points scored is awarded a second player, if requested, and so on. Each team will be awarded one player and only one player per round of the waiver wire. If a team requests no players that team will simply be skipped. Awards continue until all waiver wire request lists have been processed or all teams have been awarded the maximum number of players allowed in a waiver wire by league rules.

Commissioner Will Determine the Order.
Players will be awarded in order as determined by the commissioner. The commissioner must set a waiver wire award order before the waiver wire deadline or no players will be awarded. Once the commissioner sets the order it will not be automatically changed by the system at any time. The commissioner may change the waiver wire award order at any time, except while players are being awarded. Any changes to the order will affect the next waiver wire.

Blind Bidding Against Team's Salary Cap.
Only available if salary cap option is used.
Each team owner may submit a blind bid for any available free agent. This bid will establish the salary of that player should that player be awarded to the team. This salary will be established regardless of any default or free agent salary set for that player by the commissioner. This new bid salary will count against a team's salary cap limit. Should the salary bid put a team over their salary cap limit, that player will not be awarded in the waiver wire. The minimum bid must be the default free agent salary for that player, as set by the commissioner. The question "Reset player salary to default when released?" is answered "Yes", then when a player is release his free agent salary will return default set by the commissioner. If the question is answered "No", then when a player is released they will maintain the winning bid salary as the new free agent salary.

Awarding of free agents begins with the highest bid by any team for a free agent. Once that free agent has been awarded to the winning bidder, all other bids for that free agent are discarded as losing bids. Then the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered. That winning bid will be awarded the free agent and all losing bids for that free agent will be discarded. This continues until the lowest valid bid remaining is considered. A team may acquire any number of players provided they remain withing the maximum number of players allowed per waiver wire as set by the commissioner. Bidding ties are broken by awarding the free agent to the first of the tied bids submitted.

Blind Bidding Billed in Team's Fees.
Only available if league fee tracking option is used.
Each team owner may submit a blind bid for any available free agent. Each winning bid will be recorded as a fee against that team in the league's fee tracking. This is generally considered bidding with real money. RealTime Fantasy Sports does not collect payment or manage payment of these fees, fee tracking is provided as a service.

Awarding of free agents begins with the highest bid by any team for a free agent. Once that free agent has been awarded to the winning bidder, all other bids for that free agent are discarded as losing bids. Then the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered. That winning bid will be awarded the free agent and all losing bids for that free agent will be discarded. This continues until the lowest valid bid remaining is considered. A team may acquire any number of players provided they remain withing the maximum number of players allowed per waiver wire as set by the commissioner. Bidding ties are broken by awarding the free agent to the first of the tied bids submitted.

Blind Bidding Against Waiver Wire Cap.
Each team owner may submit a blind bid for any available free agent. Each winning bid will be deducted from a season long bidding cap established by the commissioner. A team owner will no longer be able to bid on free agents once their season long waiver wire cap has been reached. This waiver wire bidding cap is completely separate and distinct from any league fees your league may have in place.

Awarding of free agents begins with the highest bid by any team for a free agent. Once that free agent has been awarded to the winning bidder, all other bids for that free agent are discarded as losing bids. Then the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered. That winning bid will be awarded the free agent and all losing bids for that free agent will be discarded. This continues until the lowest valid bid remaining is considered. A team may acquire any number of players provided they remain withing the maximum number of players allowed per waiver wire as set by the commissioner and remain within the season long waiver wire bidding cap established by the commissioner. Bidding ties are broken by awarding the free agent to the first of the tied bids submitted.
