Beginning with round 4, free agents/replacement players can be selected. If you have fewer than 5 free agent/replacement players, simply list one of your past team players who will be retained, or just put "skip" on your draft pick. No player can be picked as a free agent who is on another past team roster.

I'm in a league with RangerJoe and I sent him a message via league mail that it's his turn, so hopefully we can get this thing moving a little more quickly. Unfortunately, unless it starts moving A LOT quicker, it looks like we won't be finished in time to get the league started on Monday, 11-12.

How many free agent rounds are we doing?

Great question, MSer! With all the posts and discussions here and in the original thread posted in the ATG forum, it's a little hard to keep track of everything.

From the rules stated in the first post of this thread:

"The draft will be serpentine and will be 8 rounds. Picks in the first 3 rounds are strictly limited to players from your past team. Beginning with round 4, free agents/replacement players can be selected. If you have fewer than 5 free agent/replacement players, simply list one of your past team players who will be retained, or just put "skip" on your draft pick."

"Your final roster must have a minimum of 18 players from the past team, minus any exemptions, up to a maximum of 3, for players lost as a result of being drafted prior to the autodraft. If no one else selects one of your past team players prior to the autodraft, you get no exemption for that player if you fail to keep him."

Hope this helps. - Bernie

MSer's question reminded me of one of my favorite movie clips of all time:

What? Do you expect me to actually read the easily found and clearly stated rules you've laid out in multiple areas in this thread? That's not how this type of thing works on the interwebs.

Well, I did try to make the rules only slightly more complicated than the tax code.......

Sigh

why don't we go direct to an autordraft after round three finishes. people can keep the three they selected and just put their free agents onto their draft list and hope for the best... this draft is just taking too much time for too little return. just a thought. PJK
