2009 Draft Rules
1.) All current owners are allowed to keep no more than two players on their current roster. Its their choice on whether they want to keep two, one or no players.

2.) For every player an owner keeps, they lose a draft pick. If an owner keeps one player they lose their 1st round pick. It the owner keeps two players they lose their 1st and 2nd round picks.

3.) All new owners begin the draft in the first round just like any ordinary league. Only the keeper picks will be off limits.

4.) The deadline for keeper selection will be determined when the draft date is set.

5.) Post keeper picks in here or PM me. You may use a "keeper tag" on a player no more than two consecutive times.

Last year, yes. This year you have the #1 pick. Best to look only forward on this one Bob.

[The Wise 1]

Dam, tanking didnt really help me with my draft spot. it would of been nice to get Lebron a little later and have a high 2nd round pick

I'll keep Lebron. Still thinking bout Duncan.

Well you get the 2nd overall pick ion the 3rd round. That's really where all the action begins in a keeper league. I'm liking my draft position...I only wish I could have won a few more games and made the playoffs last year. Drafting in the middle would have had more meaning then.

I'll keep Dirk..will decide later if I choose a 2nd player.

5.) Post keeper picks in here or PM me. You may keep a player no more than two consecutive seasons.

So does that mean you can only "keep" a player once?

Good point. The wording was slightly off but fixed now.

The league has been created and email invites have been distributed. Same rules and roster numbers as last year. Please use your PSD name as your team name. Do not give the password to anyone. I'll delete anyone from the league who I don't know.

i dont know .... not much respect for a guy that purposely tanks ... really we should put a rule in to avoid this in the future .... its a pretty ****** thing to do when it comes to sportsmanship ...

Just a question ... if we "keep" a player ... does that mean that they are automatically my first pick ...

IE. Say i was going to "keep" 2 players Granger(1st pick); Nene(2nd pick) - can release granger and use 1st pick on someone else - but keep my second best player (nene) as pick 2?

Like i understand it would be gay if i could take Granger (my best player) and move him to the 2nd round .... but since i am letting my best player go - i think it makes sense to be able to keep my second best player at round 2.

Because - this would mean that in order to keep your second best player (at 2nd round) you automatically have to keep the best ranked guy (number 1) or else you lose out ... cause im not gonna pick nene 3rd overall ....

Pretty sure you can't...

I'm keeping Wade, by the way.

Good point star. Its a rule that probably should have been spelled out in the past. Currently we have a rule that if you're not active you get cut. But let's make it more clear, no tanking allowed and if its proven the punishment will be that you're cut from the league. Anything that happened in the past doesn't apply to this new rule.

You get two keeper tags:

Keeper tag one = 1st round pick
Keeper tag two = 2nd round pick

Its that simple. If you use both tags you forfeit your first two picks. There are no loop holes here to exploit. Tags are not reusable and you cannot use the second keeper tag(only used in the second round) unless you use your first keeper tag. Who's the "best player" is open to interpretation and we're not going there star. If you want to keep your second best player then use your first keeper tag and forfeit your 1st rounder.
