    IDP LEAGUE DRAFT RULES

    -Standard serpentine draft, 22 rounds.
    -Draft hours are 8am to 10pm CDT (US), 7 days/week
    -Time limit for each pick: 4 hours during draft hours. Draft positions 1 and 12 get 6 hours total to make their 2 picks on the turnaround.
    -Any league member may assign a BAPAY after time has expired (see below for guidelines).
    -No BAPAYs in the first two rounds (within reason; Commish discretion).
    -The BAPAY clock starts running at 8am CDT, Wednesday, August 17, 2013. Managers may opt to begin drafting prior to that.

    BAPAY LISTS

    --Offensive BAPAYs are determined by Yahoo's player list, sorted by "Actual" (not the default "Projected").
    --Defensive BAPAYs are determined by sorting the player list for that position by 2011 Fantasy Points (far right column).

    [Note: Yahoo "Actual" rankings for offense are based on 2011 NFL stats applied through our league's scoring rules. This means, among other things, that no rookie can be assigned via BAPAY.]

    IF YOU ARE BAPAYED: You have the right -- within 10 picks or 24 hours, whichever comes first -- to change your assigned BAPAY to any still-available player. The BAPAYed player goes back into the draft-eligible pool. Any and all intervening picks by other teams stand. A card laid is a card played.

    KEEP THINGS MOVING

    1. Immediately PM the next manager to let him know he's on the clock. Don't forget to clean out your PM box.
    2. If you're going to be away, please send a prioritized list or instructions to one or two people to cover your next pick (or two). You can also post notes publicly, like "Bapay me a TE" or similar.
    3. When you post your pick, copy/paste the full draft list, preferably followed by a note like "PM sent to [NextGuy]." Oh, and don't forget to clean out your PM boxes. I also have my account set up to send me an email when I’ve gotten a PM. Word.

    IF THERE'S A PROBLEM
    ...such as the selection of an already-chosen player or an incorrectly-assigned BAPAY, the draft stops until things are resolved.

    A couple more random thoughts:
    --Find a "BAPAY Buddy" or two to leave your lists/picks with when you’ll be away. I work from home and am rarely away from my computer for long.
    --If you're away and your list is used accurately and in good faith, that pick will stand.
    --No table talk, please! If a player has been overlooked, just ignore the topic until he's been chosen.
    --OTOH, if you learn of a serious training camp injury, posting that info is a community benefit.
    --For those using Yahoo research tools, I will try to make regular uploads of our selections. Keeps the player list clean and makes Bapays easier to determine.
    --We will start a separate thread where people can keep their rosters.

    ASSIGNING BAPAY PICKS

    The BAPAY victim will be assigned the top available player at Yahoo at a position of need, using the "Actual" filter for offense and the "Fantasy Points" filter for defense. Position of need will be decided according to the following priority list. Try to pay attention to Bye week issues, especially for QB and TE. However, this is not a strict requirement.

    Priority List by Position

    1. Offensive starter, skill position (QB, RB, WR, TE) -- includes 5 total RB/WR
    2. Defensive starter, any position: 2-DBs, 2-LBs, 1-DL
    3. Backup skill position, in this order: RB3 - WR3 - RB4 - WR4
    4. QB2 (Bye alert)
    5. TE2 (Bye alert)
    6. RB5/WR5
    7. QB3
    8. DEF6
    9) Kicker

    Thus, for our 22-round draft, an all-BAPAY team would be assigned, in order, as follows:

    Round/Position

    1-7) Offensive skill positions (2-ea RB and WR, 1-each QB, W/R and TE), by Actual
    8-12) DL1, LB1/2, DB1/2, by Fantasy Points
    13-15) WR - RB until team has 4 of each
    16) QB2
    17) TE2
    18-19) RB5/WR5
    20) QB3
    21) DEF6 (any position)
    22) Kicker

    This procedure (used successfully last year) makes the BAPAY process reasonably fair for the victim yet easy to administer for any league member.

    In the (Un?)likely Event of a Poly Outage During the Draft

    Your seat cushion may be used as a floatation device and, if it lasts more than a day, we will try to find a temporary draft location using the league message board on Yahoo.

                      I'm annoyed you aren't in to draft Peyton with the 1st choice, lose him for the season, and win anyway...

                        I am likely to go to bed early tonight. Snoopy369 (Central Time Zone) has the top 17 names on my draft board for this league, which should carry us through to morning.

                              Is that his real pick? Not that it's bad, but I don't see him referencing you. Ben...
