    New Draft Rule

    Due to the bullcrap that happened last night in the draft, there is now a new rule for the draft.

    Simple and plain, it will be called a reach rule.

    You cannot take a player projected 2 rounds past the round you are in.

    Example:

    In the 1st rd you are only allowed to pick players projected rounds 1-3
    In the 2nd, you are only allowed to pick 2-4
    3rd: 3-5
    4th: 4-6
    5th: 5-7
    6th: 6-UDFA
    7th: 7-UDFA


    If you don't agree, thats fine there are other leagues out there that will allow you to do that bullcrap that went on last night. I've had to talk to multiple people out of leaving the league and there are a few of you I don't want to play myself due to that crap.

    Penalty for not following this rule next season will lead to the remainder of your draft being put on auto.

            Re: New Draft Rule

            How about people have some pride, dignity, and honor... and don't look at a damn 'cheat sheet' so we don't need to make it public for "all to have access to it." Look like a bunch of desperate little kids with that bs

            That sounds better to me...


            Good rule, dubb.. Agreed

              Not in your league or anything but very interested in this. So the real issue here is that people (the same people that reached supposedly) had access to one of those stupid "draft class" threads and took their 6-7th round gems early?

              In principle, I would say, never have a rule on where someone can pick, because scouting and finding a gem in the draft, can cause people to jump the gun and reach, it happens in real life all the time, but if this is caused by a "cheat sheet" of the draft class then this is most definitely a problem.

              hmm, i will continue to observe your progress on this issue. I knew the first time I saw a "draft class" thread that it would be a problem though, which is why I posted against them being allowed on this forum, but cheaters will find a way to cheat no matter what.

              My suggestion is to have a league of owners you can trust rather than making rules like this!

                    I hear you, but its not a gem when it's a guy projected to go in the 7th taken in the 1st or early 2nd round. I didn't want to go this initially but it's the only way I can see it right now.

                        Read and agreed. Hell, I would say 1 round Dubb. 1st can go as far as 1-2. Cause 2nd round, a 4th to me could still be a reach. In favor of the rule especially, but I think 1 round would be better.

                          The rule is already set in stone bro. Just read and agree and carry on.

                            In a nutshell, this "Reach Rule" is a temporary patch. It still allows a cheater flexibility to take the Stars in the rounds that they are allotted. What needs to end up happening is these "offenders" be removed from the league and we continue OR, if they remain here, the entire draft needs to be autodrafted until these people get their act together. You can't stop them from doing this nonsense. So, people either need to be penalized and suffer or just leave. This is an injustice to those who did their job and scouted and drafted honestly.

                            Seriously speaking, in a figurative and literal sense, if you look at your draft review, and you've drafted 4 guys, who are Superstar. There's no way that's fair. There's not one team in the history of football that had 7 to 10 picks and in the first 4 rounds, they picked up players w/ the skill set and caliber of a Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Patrick Willis and a Charles Hailey all in the same damn draft. This has never happened, however w/ these cheat sheets, these people have drafted Pro Bowl Players immediately w/o showing a bit of integrity. You're disrespecting this league as a whole and the members who take pride in their offseason. Honestly though, this is my opinion and it won't be popular but I don't care either, but, if you've just finished this draft and your team is in question because you've drafted all these Superstar players, then you need to be penalized. If left up to me, these same offenders should drop these players until they have two left and these dropped players should be auctioned off or whatever and sent to a team who didn't get a chance to get a player because they were all taken by thirst-buckets who hoarded picks to do this nonsense.

                              As the new self appointed head of SFL draft committee. I find the act that went on last night to be downright asinine asinTEN and asin12. But moving on, I like this new rule and will strictly enforce it in the upcoming drafts. Here soon I will look for more trustworthy owners to help Dubb and myself keep an eye on this situation from now on. Alot of guys were upset about what happen last night and we will look to cut down on the situation from happening anymore

                              READ and DEF AGREED UPON!
