Quoting Dylan from last time since we're doing mostly the same rules again.
Quote:
The goal of this draft is for each team to draft the best wrestlers available to create the best possible federation. If the person has wrestled one match in this universe or been a part of a wrestling show they are available. You can draft wrestlers, announcers, executives (though they don't get to book for you, if you draft Russo you don't get his booking power just him as an on-screen character). Each person has 6 hours to pick before they will be skipped. Also remember when you draft a wrestler you are getting all of their backstage politics, drug addictions, and you get them for their entire career. So take that into account when you draft. After you make a pick PM the person who is after you to let them know that they are up. Also please try not to mention any undrafteds. All types of trades are allowed, they don't have to be equal...(snipping here because this is where this one diverges a bit from last one)
Rosters will max out at 100. We did over 800 picks last time, so the depth certainly exists for eight of us to make a 100-man roster.
You have six hours to pick for the first 20 rounds. There will be a deadzone from midnight to 8 a.m. EST where the clock doesn't run. If your deadline lapses, you will be skipped and then be on auto-skip until you return and catch up. During the first 20 rounds, the first time you get skipped, your window will reduce to five hours. Another skip and you'll be reduced to four. A third skip and you'll be reduced to two-hour windows. The diminishing window will go 4 hours - 3 hours - 2 hours - 1 hour starting in the 21st round when the double pick rounds begin. You can get your full clock restored at any time by picking on time five times in a row, but further skips will put you back to a notch below you were (assuming you haven't hit the lowest level)...they don't reset ever. Hopefully this won't be an issue though. We only have one unknown drafter in this group.
Tag team wrestlers must be picked individually. Sorry; we can't think of a clever way around this. It is what it is.
We ask that drafters please PM the next person after they've gone, but ultimately it is your responsibility to keep up on when it's your turn. That is to say "I wasn't PM'd" is meaningless in terms of rules.
I think that mostly covers all rules. Judy (wesrwood) and myself are running this one so ask us for rulings on anything. I think whichever of us is around can just rule on small matters. We'll probably need to come to consensus on bigger stuff that affects the entire draft as it arises.
Here is the drafting order for the first round.
isolated
IRM
Judy
Dylan
teejayC
LKJ

Both the second and third rounds will flip that, and then we'll go in normal snake for the remainder of the draft.
Here's the spreadsheet. It's a work in progress right now, but it will be right soon enough. Bear with me while it's in construction.

Isolated is up and can pick whenever. His clock won't officially begin running until 8 a.m. EST.
