Number of Draft Rounds to be sorted after National Draft.  Rookie Draft will obviously be hot this year with the number of players available which will also now include players for the 4 defunct teams not drafted. To be exact there are 176 players for the 4 teams and we are only drafting 48 so another 128 players in rookie draft.


Please feel free to discuss any other options.

A few changes to rules etc for this season given the mini redraft of 4 teams.

1. Priority Picks for Wolves and Badgers will now be awrded ar conclusion of National Draft Rd 1 as per rules

2. With only 12 teams we will still have 4 rounds of National Draft.

3. Sufficient Rookie drafts will take place to bring team lists to 50.

Be aware of these deadlines - 29th November Final date for de-listings although de-listings can commence any time now in thread.

trade Period will commence at conclussion of redraft + 1 day.  Currently Set for September 1st but may be brought forward.
