🔒 Safe Picks Procedure
The only athlete(s) guaranteed to be on your team are the child(ren) associated with your account.
What is a Safe Pick?
These are players you specifically want on your team (friends, family, former players).
You may have a maximum of 3 Safe Picks.
CRITICAL: You MUST email me your safe picks or you will not be awarded any. No exceptions.
Conflict Rule: If two coaches choose the same athlete as a Safe Pick, that athlete is no longer "safe" and goes back into the general pool.
🚫 The Draft is FINAL
Once the draft is over, teams are set. We WILL NOT move kids from one team to another.
(Even if you forgot to draft your nephew. It happens. The draft is still final.)
💻 Platform
We use OnlineDraft.com. The system randomly selects the draft order.
To prevent gaming the system, the draft order is announced moments before the Draft begins.
🐍 Snake Draft
The pick order is reversed each round.
- Round 1: 1-6
- Round 2: 6-1
- Round 3: 1-6
🤖 AutoDraft
Buddy Requests: Noted on the draft form but not guaranteed.
AutoDraft: Used if no Coach is assigned yet, or if a Coach misses the draft.
👫 Siblings
Siblings are automatically drafted to the same team.
If you draft a player, their sibling is automatically added to your roster and counts as your next pick(s).
⏳ Late Registrations
Late adds go to teams with the fewest players (or randomly if equal).
Anti-Stacking Rule: If a Coach or Late Registrant asks for a specific team, we DENY that request.
