Draft Rules

* Please post your draft number, player, their team and their position.

* Managers are responsible for keeping track of whom they have drafted and what positions they still need filling.

* Drafting is not enforced until the start of Round 2. From there after, each manager has 24 hours to make their selection. If you think you cant make your selection please PM showing a list of 4 or 5 players the day before.

*If the manager does not make it in that time, the draft will continue and they can take their pick when they return online. If 5 more picks have been taken from the pick that was missed, then the draft will be halted and next highest O-ranked player will be assigned to that manager, and the draft will again continue.

*Managers have to be aware when a pick before them is missed because if their pick is more than 5 picks ahead of the missed pick and the missed pick has not been assigned a player by the commisioner, all subsequent picks will be null and void.

* If it looks like we might run out of time, the time to select your player MAY be reduced to 12 hours. If so, managers will be notified.

* Trading of draft picks and players during the draft period ARE ALLOWED.
However trades have to be equal for the draft period, otherwise teams rosters will be short. For example you cannot trade LeBron James for Pick 2 and 25, however you could do LeBron James and Pick 150 for Pick 2 and 25.

* Once you make your pick, it's final.

* If you have any other problems, let me know.

[DBAH0]

I'm looking to trade down a few spots, no lower than #6.

 

[realsniper09]

Yep. I'm here. Rules suit me!

That's not the draft order. Don't people ever read!!!

 

[DBAH0]

That's not the draft order. Don't people ever read!!!

Oops. I probably deserve to have the last pick now after that.

 

[sirjames]

gee, sniper you seem agitated this morning

Yep ready to go. Im off on holidays next wednesday night for 10 days so will need to provide a list to someone for any rounds undrafted from then onwards.

 

[EltonBrown]

Ready to go whenever everyone else is........once I get Yahoo set up my team will be Team #43

 

[realsniper09]

I reckon it'll take much longer than 10 days.

I also believe we should start the draft now... and we may get through a few picks if the right numbers pop up because a few of us are on!!

 

[Magpie Mark]

Ready.

 

[grimlock]

Awesome first draft of the year. Hope no other player does an Oden between now and the beginning of the season

 

[sirjames]

from memory, someone in the Pero Camerons Keeper league picked both Brand and Oden before they went down.

Now that is bad luck...

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I don't see any reason why we can't start now.

DBAHO, you're up.

 

[DBAH0]

I've decided not to trade down for the moment.

DBAH0's Destroyers;
1. Kevin Garnett (PF-C)

 

[realsniper09]

Anyone want #3?

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Not wishing to hold the draft up but does anyone want to do a trade for pick #2?

 

[grimlock]

Garnett is a SF/PF in Yahoo.

 

[DBAH0]

Garnett is a SF/PF in Yahoo.

Well let's hope he gains C eligiblity during the season.

 

[Gridlock'd]

There has been a trade:

andsmithmustscore trades selections 2 and 19 in return for gridlockeds selections 8 and 13.

Awaiting andsmithmustscores confirmation.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Kobe's Team select Kobe Bryant (LAL -SG)

 

[realsniper09]

He's quite simply the best going around. Perfect player to build around.

3. Shawn Marion (PHX - F)

 

[Gridlock'd]

3. Shawn Marion (PHX - F)

I was a bit worried about where he might end up. Certainy fits well into the Suns system but will he be the same on another squad?

Phoenix is best for his value, but even if he goes elsewhere, I don't think he will change all too much. Certainly not enough to put him out of the first round.

It's a one-year league, which is why I picked him. In my opinion, he is the undisputed #1 fantasy player. He's so easy to build around as well. His strength is that he has no weakness.

No doubt Marion is the undisputed #1 ROTO fantasy player but probably not head to head IMO.

BTW can someone tell me how to post pictures?
