Hey folks,
With training camp starting in a few days, and less than a month to go before the season starts, we will soon be starting our Entry Player draft. Here's a heads up on how everything is going to work.
Where to Make your Selection:
The draft will be done in Entry Player Draft - First Year Player Draft section of the forums (found at the bottom of the main page and here - dynastyhockey99.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=1st). There, you will see a thread for each round of the draft. Each round will remain locked until the previous round is completed.
How to Make your Selection:
When it is your turn to make a selection, go to the thread of the appropriate round, and make a post in that thread with your selection. An admin will then modfiy the original post and place your selection next to your team.
When to Make your Selection:
You will have a 24hr window to make your selection. The window begins as soon as the previous bid was placed. You do not have to wait 24hrs to make your bid, you simply have to make a selection within the window or forfeit your priority.
Example:
- When we officially start the draft, the Atlanta Thrashers will have 24hrs to make his selection. Say he makes chooses PLAYER A 5 hours into the draft (Monday at 2pm).
- The Milwaukee Admirals have until Tuesday at 2pm to make their selection. However, he chooses PLAYER B 3 hours after Atlanta's (Monday at 5pm).
- The Toronto Toros have until Tuesday at 5pm to make their selection. However, he fails to make a selection within his window.
- The Oslo Mastodon, as he is next in the order, is then on the clock. As Toro's window was until Tuesday at 5pm, Oslo's window begins on Tuesday at 5pm and goes until Wednesday at 5pm. Toronto still has a selection to make, and can do so at any time, despite missing his own selection window. If Toronto makes his selection before Oslo is able to (and chooses PLAYER C), then it was no big deal that Toronto missed his original opportunity, and Oslo's window starts again from when Toronto picked PLAYER C. However, if Oslo chooses PLAYER C before Toronto was able to make his bid, Toronto has lost his priority on PLAYER C, and has to instead choose PLAYER D (or E, F, G, etc., depending on how many other managers make their selections before Toronto is able to).
Who is Eligible to be Selected:
Any player that has NOT been signed to a contract by another Dynasty Team, and is either currently on an NHL Entry Level Contract, or has been drafted by an NHL team. Before you make a selection, double check that your player is still on an Entry Level Contract at www.capgeek.com. If a player is currently on an Entry Level Contract, he will have an EL beside his name. Prospects that are not yet on the NHL roster can be found by scrolling down the team's page.
If you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to post them here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for reading, and happy drafting.
