2014 BRONCOMANIAC GM GAME - DRAFT PICK RULES AND SELECTION THREAD:
READ THIS POST. DO NOT JUST SKIM IT. KNOW EVERYTHING IN HERE.
MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED, I PROMISE.
DO NOT POST ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD OTHER THAN YOUR ANNOUNCED DRAFT PICKS ONCE YOUR TEAM IS ON THE CLOCK - We will still be using the Discussion Thread for all conversations, debates, questions, and issues that might arise. I want this thread to remain uncongested apart from the official draft selection posts.
I realize I am posting this about a week early, but I wanted to make sure everyone had enough time to see and learn the rules. We are doing it a little bit differently this year, as there will only be 1 Draft Thread, not 2. The last couple of years we've have a Draft Discussion Thread, and a Draft Selection Thread. Well, this year we are going to keep all of the discussion in the already-existing Discussion Thread and just use this single draft thread for both a listing of the rules and the announcing of official picks. The Houston GM is not on the clock and should not post his draft pick until the morning of March 10th.
******Draft Will begin Monday March 10th, 2014 at 9am EST.***********
TRADE COUNCIL MEMBERS: berlownacyo7s(commish); Ringo56; JakeNbake; MHS; broncos SB2010.
1. Draft Time:
Begin: 9am EST
End: 12:59am EST (59 minutes after midnight)
In case anyone needs help with the time zones (sorry, US only):
9am EST(Eastern) = 8am CST(Central) = 7am MST(Mountain) = 6am PST(Pacific) = 5am AST(Alaska) = 4am HST(Hawaii)
2. For the entirety of the draft, each team will be allotted 1 hour for their picks. That makes 16 "Official" picks per day.
3. Each GM must PM all council members their Draft Board once the draft begins and their team is slotted to pick on that day only, 10 picks deep. Within the same PM, the GM must also state SLOTTED or UNSLOTTED too. EXCEPTION: If you are rock solid, 100% certain that you will be able to make your pick before your slot is over then you don't have to send us your big board. But only if you're absolutely positive there's not even a small chance you won't be able to.
4. ONLY the GM's who have picks scheduled for the current day will send in their boards to all council members.
5. SLOTTED PICKS. What this means is if you choose SLOTTED with your draft board, a Council Member will wait until your teams SLOTTED time before they announce your pick.
This option allows the GM to make his own pick at his designated time slot if he so chooses. If he fails to make the pick by xx:59, then the Council Member will announce the first available pick on draft board in the Selection Thread. Remember this is a game across many time zones and everyone deserves the opportunity to announce their own pick.
6. UNSLOTTED PICKS. What this means is if you choose UNSLOTTED with your Draft Board, a Council Member will make the pick as soon as your Team is officially on the clock. So if Houston picks as soon as their time slot begins, then Washington sent draft board with unslotted and a Council Member is on that pick will happen immediately and the next team is on the clock.
7. No one is to be skipped unless their pick has not been posted after their scheduled time has past. In that case a Council Member will put a placeholder for them.
8. Anyone who fails to make their pick and the Council was not sent a Draft Board, that team must wait until the end of the day's picks to make their own pick. If they are not present at the end of the round a poll as to whom they should pick will be taken by GM's currently online at that time.
9. GM's can make their pick whenever their team is on the clock, within the OFFICIAL time or during dead time. Once the OFFICIAL TIME has ended, TIME and TEAM placements will be adjusted accordingly for the next day of picks.
10. GM's can post their picks anytime as long as the previous team has done so.
For example:
9am KC
10am NYJ
11am OAK
12pm PHI
1pm DET
2pm CLE
KC makes their pick at 9am. NYJ and OAK GM's are online and make their picks at 9:05 and 9:10 respectively.
PHI has until 12:59pm to make their pick. If they sent their big board to the Council, they will only make the pick if the GM that sent in their Board gives us permission to make the pick at SLOTTED or UNSLOTTED TIME. This allows the GM time to make their own selection at the slotted time if they do so.
11. Any GM that misses 3 or more of their draft picks will be considered inactive, and thus will not automatically be guaranteed a spot as a returning GM next year.
NOTE: Any questions belong in the Discussion Thread or should be sent to me via PM.

We do not want your Board until Draft starts and your team is scheduled to pick for the day.
Example of a board to send to Council:
SLOTTED
1. DE Jadeveon Clowney
2. OT Greg Robinson
3. OLB Khalil Mack
4. QB Blake Bortles
5. QB Teddy Bridgewater
6. QB Johnny Manziel
7. OLB Anthony Barr
8. OT Jake Matthews
9. WR Sammy Watkins
10. CB Justin Gilbert
Tells the council that you plan on making your pick but if you can't, this is the order in which you want the council to choose but wait until last possible minute. GM's can make their pick regardless of slotted/unslotted if they are online and on the clock.
UNSLOTTED
1. DE Jadeveon Clowney
2. OT Greg Robinson
3. OLB Khalil Mack
4. QB Blake Bortles
5. QB Teddy Bridgewater
6. QB Johnny Manziel
7. OLB Anthony Barr
8. OT Jake Matthews
9. WR Sammy Watkins
10. CB Justin Gilbert
Tells the council that you don't plan on making your pick and give the council permission to immediately choose for you, this is the order in which you want the council to choose. GM's can make their pick regardless of slotted/unslotted if they are online and on the clock.

Here is the formatting you will need to use when posting your draft picks. Make your you include overall pick number, player position, player name, and school. Make it big, make it bold/colored if you want to, make it centered. I understand that a lot of you will post your picks from your phone and formatting is limited, but try to get a computer ASAP and make it look pretty.

Remember, you will not be posting anything in this Draft Thread other than your official picks, so use the Discussion Thread for all discussion topics.
