Q. Is it possible to participate in a NFL Style Draft rather than a Snake Draft in customizable leagues?

Yes, the league manager will need to turn on Draft Pick Trading in their LM Tools. Then the teams will need to manually trade the necessary draft picks to the correct teams. Also, league managers will be able to manually make all of the trades themselves by utilizing the Edit Rosters feature in LM Tools.

Q. What happens if I add new teams to a keeper league? How will their draft work?

A keeper league draft will vary on how many keepers your league manager set to keep for the upcoming season. For example, if the league is set to keep three players, there will be three keeper rounds. These picks will take place in the first three rounds of the draft. The picks will be auto-selected automatically when the team is slated to pick.

For all new teams, the owner would receive a pick in each of these three rounds. They would be able to choose from the available player pool. These include all players not being used as keepers on other teams. Please keep in mind the keeper rounds do not use a snake-style draft format.

Q. How do I set up my schedule to play my division opponents twice and everybody else once?

In order to implement a schedule where you would play divisional foes twice and all other teams in the league once, you would need to fall under one of the following categories:

12 Teams, 2 Divisions in a 16 week season
10 Teams, 2 Divisions in a 13 week season
8 Teams, 2 Divisions in a 10 week season

Note: If you have an unequal division size in your league, the schedule will not have a preference toward in-divisional play.

Q. What happens if we draft after the season starts in a customizable league?

Leagues drafting after the season begins will have results that includes play up until that point. If an LM wishes to ignore the results, he/she would need to schedule the first X weeks as byes for all teams.

Q. Why did my Standard League not draft at the scheduled time?

In Standard Leagues, the draft will only take place once all 10 owners have joined. To set a new draft date/time, league members must vote in the league referenda. Please keep in mind that you will need at least 6 votes for each option for the change to be made.

Q. Why are defensive touchdowns affecting my Defense/Special Team points? The points were not scored against my defense.

The rule is team points and any points against will be deducted from the team. This is standard practice. At this time, we are not able to change the way the system awards points.
