Rules for mid season draft
- Draft will officially commence at 9am tomorrow - to allow at least some notice for all coaches. This doesn’t mean the picks can’t start this evening.
- You will have 2hrs to make your pick in Blitz
- When making the selection a player will also need to be delisted or alternatively you need to state which LTI listed player you are replacing
- After your draft pick is taken your RFA priority order will be moved to the bottom of the order. I will manually allocate picks on UF once the players are listed
- should you fail to make a pick in your allocated time period or not wish to take a pick you can pass. This will result in your RFA order remaining unchanged
- Normal fee agency will take place post the naming of the teams.
- Any players that aren’t picked will become regular free agents with all other free agents.
- To ensure we have 26hrs of pick time before teams are released on Thursday the draft will run as follows (note all times are Melbourne times):
-Wednesday 9am to 11pm
-Thursday to 6am to 6pm
The times for Thursday will be adjusted based on where we get to on Wednesday. The quicker picks are made the better. - PMs should be sent if you are unlikely to be on Blitz
Let me know if you have any questions.
