Draft is run in an ABBABABA format.
Additional rules (I might add to this as we go to avoid confusion):
1) In the event of a points draw between entries, the tiebreaker is the team that scored the most 5 point goals. If that is also level, the individual player within a team who scored the most goals would be champion.
2) The most indiscipline a player can have per game is 5 points. So whether you get sent off through a straight red, a yellow than a red, or two yellows (which means a red) you can only lose 5 points that way
3) If you pick a player that doesn't make the squad/is injured and withdraws before his teams first game, they can be replaced from a list of undrafted players that I will draw up after the draft.
