Rules
The Draft:
This draft will have 20 rounds. You must draft 12 forwards, 6 defensemen and 2 goalies. For each pick you will be given a time limit(see below), if you exceed your time limit you'll pick will be skipped. If your pick has been skipped you can then make it anytime. All players picked will be put on the draft board, please check the draft board before making your selection(just search with CTRL + F). If you have a co-GM please discuss the pick with them, once you make a pick it cannot be taken back. If you think you won't be online for your pick then send a list, if you don't send a list you could be fined(see below). YOU CANNOT NAME UNDRAFTED PLAYERS IN THE LOUNGE. Only exception is if done in a joking matter, but its a thin line so be careful. After you pick you must PM or VM the next GM
Time Limits:
1st round: 6 hours
2nd round - 6th round: 4 hours
7th round - 12th round: 3 hours
13th round -18th round: 2 hours
19th round - 20th round: 1 hour
These limits are subject to change...
Trades:
You are allowed to make trades with other GM's. When trading you must receive the same amount of players/picks back as the amount you traded(2 for 2 trades, 4 for 4 trades, are both acceptable, but a 2 for 1 deal is not). You can do 3+ team trades as well. When you complete a trade post it in the redraft discussion subforum(scroll down from the main NHL ReDraft page) use the correct format please
Salary Cap:
We will be working with a salary cap of 60 million. YOU MUST BE UNDER THE SALARY CAP AT THE END OF THE 20TH ROUND. If you are not under you will be DQ'd.
For salaries we are using the site "nhlnumbers.com" click on the team and whatever is under "cap number" is what counts against your cap
Clubhouses:
Every team MUST have a clubhouse that includes your roster and salary information. It must be kept updated or else you risk being fined. If at the end of the 20th round your clubhouse is not updated you will be DQ'd
Fines:
Fines occur for a number of reasons, the fines are applied to your salary cap(example: Your cap becomes 59 million instead of 60 million if you get a 1 million dollar fine)
The following things will all lead to fines(amount of the fines will depend on severity and number of offences):
Naming undrafted players
Not sending in a list when you were within 5 picks then logging off
Insulting other GM's
Not having an up to date clubhouse
Not PM'ing or VM'ing the next GM after you pick
