How They Work

All ASFL2 Keeper League drafts will be slow drafts. All ASFL2 Keeper Leagues slow drafts will be conducted via the league website using the ASFL2 Drafts Application. Slow drafts are used in order to try to create a fair way of player allocation as the likelihood of all 14 members of a league being able to live draft at the same time is very low.
The slow drafts will allow for those involved to have 3 to 8 hours to make their pick depending on the round. Overnight hours are excluded from the time limit. The earlier in the draft a pick is the more time a member will have to make their selection. The draft application allows for lists to be made with some provisions for player position specifications and email notifications. More improvements will be made as time goes by.
If a pick isn't made within the time limit, the highest ranked player by Yahoo! that's available will be selected by default.

Draft Order Determination

All initial league drafts will be determined using Random.org's random number generator.

All ASFL2 Keeper Leagues drafts will be in snake format; meaning the team picking first in one round picks last in the next round.

After the completion of each Premier Division season, the draft order will be as follows:
Regular season champion from Second Division Second highest regular season record promoted from the Second Division Worst regular season record promoted from the Second Division Worst returning record from previous Premier Division regular season Second worst returning record from previous Premier Division regular season Third worst returning record from previous Premier Division regular season Second best returning record from previous Premier Division regular season not to have qualified for the playoffs Best returning record from previous Premier Division regular season not to have qualified for the playoffs Worst returning regular season record to have qualified for the playoffs, but not made the championship Second worst returning regular season record to have qualifed for the playoffs, but not made the championship Second best returning regular season record not to have qualified for the championship the season before Best returning regular season record not to have qualified for the championship the season before League Playoff Runner-Up League Champion

All drafts will be the same number of rounds as the roster size for the respective sport. For each player kept a team will forfeit a selection. For that reason, its possible for the draft order to indirectly change. The Players Kept are designated before the draft and aren't eligible to be drafted. For each player kept a team will use up a draft pick that could otherwise be used to select any player in the game that isn't designated as a kept player by another team. On the draft page, if a team uses up a draft pick by keeping a player, the pick will read "Player Kept- Player's Name".
Teams that see their managers promoted will lose one keeper spot for the next season, but will receive a compensation pick two rounds after keepers have stopped vacating draft selections.
