1. E-mail draft, Tuesday, July 3, voluntary participation.  Anyone who wants to
to take his turn may do so.  There will be no time limits during the week of July 4th.
2. The draft clock will start at Sunday July 9th, 6pm central.  Time limits will be enforced starting
on Sunday evening.
3.  Each owner may use a maximum of 24 hrs per selection.  If the owner has not chosen
within that period of time, the next player goes on the clock.  The owner just passed over can submit his
pick at any time, but the status will be first come/first served for him until he is able to execute this pick.
If two owners submit the same pick, the player would belong to the owner whose e-mail I receive first.
4.  Although there is a 24-hour time allotment per selection, each owner will strive to make his
selection as quickly as possible.  This time should not be used for deliberation or for negotiating
trades.  Each owner is expected to plan for contingencies, just as he would during a live draft.
This means having a short list of players. If you're favorites are taken, you should have a pretty
good idea who would be next on your list.  By the same token, you should have a pretty good idea
if you want to trade you pick a couple of selections in advance.  Use the time during someone
else's turn to set up a trade.
5.  This long time allotment is designed to prevent someone from losing a selection because he
is sleeping, working a double shift, or any other reason someone might be occupied and unable
to get to access to the Internet.
6.  If for some reason you suspect you might miss your selection, you may send an e-mail to
the Commissioner with a list of players ranked in the order of preference.  DO NOT say,
"Commish, just take a running back for me."  I won't do it.  I will execute clear and specific
instructions, such as, "I want Joe Namath, if available, otherwise take the first guy on this list
of running backs.  If all of these are taken, please select Paul Warfield."
7.  If you submit a list, you should put the following in the subject line of the e-mail:
"Sealed Selection, <selection number>"  Replace <selection number> with your selection number.
If you are mailing in the second pick of the fourth round, your subject line should read:
"Sealed Selection, 4.2"  Remember, the Commissioner owns his own team.  The info in the
subject line tells me not to open the e-mail with your list until it's your turn.
8.  My goal is to complete 1-1/2 to 2 rounds per week. At two rounds per week, eight rounds
will be finished around August 8.   Three rounds per week is not unrealistic.  The sooner we finish, the
sooner everyone can start preparing for drafts in other leagues.
9. You can overload your roster during the draft under certain provisions.  First, you may not exceed any of
the position maxima at any time, which are 3 qb, 5 rb, 6 wr, 3 te, 2 pk, 2 st/df.  This means even under the
overloading exception, the pre-season roster maximum will be equal to the sum of all of the position maxima,
which is 21. You must cut down to 16 players no later than August 26.
10.  If you have fewer than 16 players after the completion of the eight round, you will be allowed to keep making
selections until your roster is fulled.
