Hello all, we have decided to change the FSL to a FANTASY DRAFT LEAGUE. The FSL has been a successful OOTP league and we are looking to expand into Madden. The draft will be handled in a much different fashion to expedite the process and reduce the burden of being on the console for an entire draft. We will draft offline by using a combination of Discord and Google Sheets. You can check out our rating sheet and draft board at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ERFBsz1EzA1LjjDav-0JluVnCI0xfGuwQlIES6ra_Sg/edit?usp=sharing
So here are the draft rules and how it will be done:
SETUP
- We will begin with a fantasy draft that will be conducted within Google Sheets -
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
- Players will be made with a custom roster file which will maintain contracts in a correct manner (doing a fantasy draft within the game jacks up the contracts).
- Draft order will be selected by a live video and will snake 1-32, 32-1.
-----------------------------------------
DRAFT RULES
- The entire draft will be conducted offline, using the Google Sheets link above. We will draft 48 rounds and free agency will be first-come-first-serve following the draft.
- Draft selections will be made in fantasy-draft and draft lists can be submitted to me via PM.
- Draft timer will run daily between 9:00 AM EST and 11:00 PM EST.
- Rounds 1-10 will have a 2 hour time limit and any auto pick will be done using the "Master" tab by selecting the best overall player for a position of need.
- Rounds 11-22 will have a 1 hour time limit
- Rounds 23+ will have a 30 minute time limit
-----------------------------------------
NOTE: ALL DRAFT PICKS WILL GO BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL TEAM AT THE START OF THE LEAGUE.
