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 10 get 6 hours total to make their 2 picks on the turnaround.
-Commish has discretion to reduce time limits if we start running behind.
-All starting positions must be filled in draft
-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 selection clock starts running at the start of Round 3; earlier at commish discretion.
BAPAY LISTS
--Offensive BAPAYs are determined by Yahoo's player list, 2018 Season (total), sorted by "Actual" under Rankings (not the default "Projected").
--Defensive BAPAYs are determined by sorting the player list by 2018 Season (total), sorted by "Fantasy Points."
[Note: Yahoo "Actual" ranking uses 2018 NFL stats applied through our league's scoring rules. This means, among other things, that no rookie can be assigned via BAPAY, and guys injured last year will be pushed down the list.]
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. Get in touch with the people drafting adjacent to you and share the best way to get in touch for quick notification.
2. After you pick, immediately PM, email or text the next manager to let him know he's on the clock.
3. If you're going to be away, please send a prioritized list or instructions to one or two other managers to cover your next pick (or two). You can also post notes publicly, like "Bapay me a TE this round" or similar.
4. Don't forget to clean out your PM box.
5. When you post your pick, copy/paste the full draft list, preferably followed by a note like "PM sent to [NextGuy]."
IF THERE'S A PROBLEM
...such as the selection of an already-chosen player or an incorrectly-assigned BAPAY, post immediately! The draft stops until things are resolved.
MORE DRAFT TIPS & THOUGHTS
--Talk to the managers adjacent to you in the draft and find out how they prefer to be contacted (Poly PM, text, email, Facebook, etc.)
--Find a "BAPAY Buddy" or two to leave your lists/picks with when you’ll be away. I work from home and am seldom away from my computer for long.
--If you're away and the list you sent is used accurately and in good faith, that pick will stand.
--No table talk, please! If you are surprised that a player has been overlooked, just ignore the topic until he's been chosen.
--OTOH, if you learn of a serious training camp injury, arrest, etc., posting that info is a community benefit.
--Throughout the draft, I will make regular uploads of our selections to the Yahoo league site. This keeps the player list clean, makes BAPAYs easier to determine, and makes it easy for those who use Yahoo research tools.
ASSIGNING BAPAY PICKS
Beginning in Round 3, any league member can assign a BAPAY selection after time to pick has expired. 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. Starter, Offense, skill position (QB, RB, WR, TE -- includes 5 total RB/WR to cover swing slot)
2. Starter, Defense, 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 and/or 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 makes the BAPAY process reasonably fair for the victim yet (theoretically) 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 flotation device. If the outage lasts more than a day, we will try to find a temporary draft location using the league message board on Yahoo.
