THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE.
The 2016 KRFL Free Agent Draft will being in 9am EDT on Wednesday June 1.
The daily draft schedule is two rounds per day. The first round will start at 9am EDT and end at approximately 2:45pm EDT. The second daily round will start at approximately 3pm EDT and end at approximately 9pm EDT. PLEASE NOTE that other than the 9am EDT start time ALL OTHER TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE. As we found with last year's draft, the draft software tends to run ahead of schedule and if someone manually picks or has their autopick set for less than 15 minutes, that also cause the draft to run ahead of schedule. So please be aware of this.
Updated Draft Instructions can be found here:
http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/2016KRFL_Draft_Instructions.htm
The draft itself can be found here:
http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/apcfb_draft/
Both links can always be found on the league website in the upper left hand corner.
LOGIN:
If you used this software last year you are already registered and can login using the same info.
If you forgot your password, write the Commissioner who will clear the old password so you can register again.
PLEASE log into the draft website, go to the GM tab and set your "Turn on AutoPick to After" to 15 minutes. Please do this even if you do not intend to use the autopick feature.
A forum thread for questions has been set up here
http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?11400
although I will response to emails faster and I will not be able to monitor the forum during the day.
Any questions please ask.
Your patience and understanding with the draft software is requested. We know it is not perfect, so we may have a glitch of two.
Please remember this is a hobby and not life or death.
Thanks,
Mark Blume

Important Excerpts from Rule 6.0 - FREE AGENT AND ROOKIE DRAFTS
6.1 - Only players appearing on the Action! PC Football disk are eligible to be drafted during the free agent draft.
6.5 - An owner may pass during any round of the free agent draft, but must eventually fill all 52-roster spots while staying under the salary cap. For examples, if you do not wish to pay $10 million for a franchise player or you cannot afford to pay $10 million for said player, you can pass during round one.
6.6 - All owners are responsible for keeping track of their team's total salary during the free agent draft. If any owner exceeds the salary cap limits, the owner will lose the fewest number of free agent players just drafted necessary to get under that salary cap maximum limit and get an opportunity to complete their roster. When possible, the last player(s) chosen in the draft at the salary range required to open enough cap room will be the first player released.
6.7 - Any player automatically released due to the infraction described in Rule 6.6 above may not be re-acquired by the same owner as a free agent during the remainder of the season.
Reminder of Rule on KRFL Roster Requirements
4.3 - At the start of each season, each owner must have at least the following number of attempts by skilled players on their rosters:
a. 400 pass attempts
b. 300 rushes
c. 200 receptions
d. 20 field goal attempts
e. 40 punts
f. 15 kickoff returns
g. 20 punt returns (including fair catches)
4.4 - At the start of each game, each roster must include 52 players including the following minimum number of players at the following positions:
2 Quarterbacks
3 Running Backs
6 Receivers (minimum of 1 Tight End)
7 Offensive Linemen (minimum of 1 Center, 2 Tackles, and 2 Guards)
1 Place Kicker
1 Punter
6 Defensive Linemen (minimum of 2 Defensive Tackles and 2 Defensive Ends)
6 Linebackers (minimum of 1 Inside LB and 2 Outside LBs)
7 Defensive Backs (minimum of 2 Cornerbacks and 2 Safeties)
1 Kick Returner
1 Punt Returner
