Note: If  your league is partially full 24 hours prior to your scheduled draft time, your league will be combined to form a complete league.

 

3. Live Online Drafts

Each leagues draft will take place in the DRAFT WARROOM. Owners should try to arrive 10 minutes before their draft is scheduled to begin. It is strongly suggested that you familiarize yourself with the preranking process before your draft actually begins. Each owner will have the opportunity to prerank for any round before and during the draft. We recommend preranking, because it speeds up the draft and enables owners to be prepared when it is their turn to draft.

Basic and new Dynasty league owners will select their players in a serpentine draft consisting of 20 rounds. Each owner will have one (1) minute per selection in each round. Existing Dynasty leagues will hold a 15 round veteran draft. In the veteran draft, owners will have two (2) minutes per selection in each round. Veteran drafts, will be non-serpentine, worst to first in each round. Veteran draft date & time will be determined by a majority vote of the existing owners.

7. Trades

When two owners agree upon a trade, it is immediately executed. If a trade is processed and completed, and a majority of the owners within that league (not including the owners involved in the trade) feel the trade is one sided, they must email thecommissioner@fantasygemz.com within 24 hours of the completion of the trade to voice their complaints. If  a majority of the owners votes to veto the trade, the trade will be reversed retroactively.

 

 

 

 

8. Free Agency

Basic league owners will acquire their free agents on a first come first serve basis. There are no waivers in basic leagues. Dynasty league owners will acquire free agents via a waiver wire process. Dynasty league free agency begins immediately following the veteran draft and continues thru to the end of  the regular season. Existing dynasty league free agency begins July 2 thru the end of the regular season.
