DRAFT NOTES
The 2062 draft will kick off with a 10 hour time limit slow roll on Wednesday, May 15th and the traditional draft clock will start on Friday, May 17th. The season schedule has been updated: redzoneblitz.boards.net/thread/3836/2032-schedule. The draft clock will run untimed on Tuesday, May 14th.
**Important** - It is each GM's responsibility to understand how the utility works before the draft begins.
The RZB currently uses 50 for combine correlation setting.
Draft Utility
We will be using the following utility: thebigleague.net/RZBdraft/fof_draft/selections.php
GMs will need to register with their full team name and password. Example: Pittsburgh Steelers should be registered as "Pittsburgh"
**If you are not registered by the time your pick is up, you'll receive an auto pick.**
Draft Format
The draft will run from 9:00 AM EST - 9:00 PM EST. The draft clock will be turned OFF from 9:00 PM EST until 9:00 AM EST. *Picks can be made during the hours that the draft clock is not running.
Draft Time Limit
1st Round - 2 hours
2nd Round - 2 hours
3rd Round - 1 hour
4th Round - 1 hour
5th Round - 45 min
6th Round - 30 min
7th Round - 20 min
*timed picks (lists) will be reduced to 5 minutes in round 7.
NOTE: If we get in a situation where the draft falls far behind the timeline, we may switch to having the clock on 24 hours.
Draft Clock Expiration
If a GM misses a draft window, his time limit will be reduced by 50% and the pick will be autoed. *If a GM misses twice, the time limit will again be reduced by 50%. If a pick is missed a third time it will be set on "autopick" for the remainder of the draft. When a team's draft time expires, the utility will "autopick." If for some reason, this function doesn't work correctly at any point, the Commissioner will make a selection based on in-game needs list. Picks will not be skipped.
Trades
Traded picks need to be posted and confirmed in the trades forum. The Commissioner will keep picks updated until the moment the draft begins. After that, GMs will need to move any traded picks in the utility.
Rollbacks will only be considered in the case of a utility malfunction or administrator error. Owner error is not utility malfunction or administrator error.
Just a reminder that we will be using the RZB Discord Channel for Draft Chat moving forward:
