2014 GM LEAGUE DRAFT RULES 1. The draft will begin on Saturday April 12th, 2014 at 11AM EST. 2. Each team in the FIRST ROUND will receive a THREE hour time slot to make their selection when they are on the clock. It is their choice to use up that time or to make their selection right away. 3. We will be shutting down the draft from 11:00 PM EST to 11:00AM EST that way members don't need to make their picks early into the morning. If a GM wishes to make his pick when he's on the clock while the draft is closed, he may do so. The formula will just repeat itself for the next GM on the clock, but the timeslots will not change. NOTE: Slight change to this year's overnight schedule, teams that have overnight time slots have an expanded time range from which to make their picks. See schedule for full details. 4. You may leave a draft bulletin to any of the Draft Committee Members or the GM League Moderators if your selection is coming up and you're not sure if you'll be around during your pick. Below is an example of a draft bulletin: Team A Draft Bulletin at #XX Overall: 1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford 2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor 3. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State 4. Matt Kalil, OT, USC 5. There will be two boards, an official draft thread and an unofficial draft thread. If you wish to talk and speculate about each teams picks, please do so in the unofficial draft thread. Keep in mind, it is frowned upon to NAME NAMES... those that haven't been selected yet. It's just frowned upon... you won't be punished. Although just think if you were waiting for a player to fall to you and someone posts their name in the unofficial discussion thread and then the next pick you see him taken off the board. You wouldn't like that very much would you? Official draft thread is for drafting players ONLY. 6. If you fail to pick a player for your given time slot and don't give us a bulletin for us to go by, we will be forced to go BPA for your team. 7. If you do not show up for the draft, as in if you don't leave a bulletin and make us pick for you (BPA), you will forfeit your draft selections if we must do this for TWO straight selections. For example: Team A has a first round pick at #29 overall and a second round pick at #49 overall. If the Committee must choose their player for both selection, they will forfeit their remaining picks unless they contact Paul 13 or Boik14 with a good reason for their absence. 8. Please do not complain if the draft committee selects a player you didn't want if you failed to show up for your time slot OR didn't leave a bulletin. You've been warned. 9. You do not have to sign your draft picks but you must have enough room to sign all your draft picks. The salaries for rookies are listed in another thread.... 10. The draft committee is a group of individuals who will monitor the draft with the GM League Moderators. The draft committee is a group of veteran GMs who have demonstrated good organization skills and who have knowledge about the upcoming NFL draft. This years draft committee is the following: GM League Draft Committee 1. Paul 13 2. Boik14 3. UCFinFan86 4. sports24/7 11. Make this years draft enjoyable. Please do your best to show up for your draft times, which means check the draft time-slots (located below) to see when your pick comes up. If you notice that your selection is coming up soon, please send a bulletin in case you cannot make your draft selection. Set each time that you'll be on the clock in your phone's calendar or something... the less picks the committee has to make, the better. If you have any questions, go ahead and reply here.
UCFinFan86 and sports24/7 are added to the committee. There'll be four of us. If you can't make your time slot, please send one or all of us your list of picks via a bulletin list and we'll take care of the rest. If you choose to only send it to one of us and that person does not reply back to you saying he will post your pick, send your list to one or all of the committee members just in case!!!
