Who do I draft? Team Roster Each team must have a roster consisting of the following position player the entire season: 2 – QB 2 – RB 2 – WR 2 – TE 2 – K 1 – OPEN Failure to keep the roster at 11 players at anytime during the season will result in the lowering of team points.

DRAFT DAY Wednesday August 29 th We will have 11 Rounds Each team will have 4-minutes to select their player Failure to select a player within the allotted time will result in skipping to the next team in the draft If your team is not present on Draft Day they will pick players from the “Free Agent Pool”

SALARY CAP Each team is allotted a salary cap in the amount of $ to be used on their roster. Teams maybe under the salary cap but at no time during the season should a team be over the salary cap. Failure to stay within the set salary cap will results in reduction of your teams points.
