DRAFTS

Two to three months before the season there will be an Entry Draft for all new registrations. This year's draft order will be randomized but subsequent drafts will have a lottery based on the previous season's standings.

SIGNING PLAYERS
34
Players who were drafted can only sign a one or two year contract with their team. When that contract expires, maximum duration increases to four years. GMs can use duration, clauses, bonuses, etc., to entice players to sign.

36
TRADING PLAYERS
37
General Managers can use players, draft picks, and cash to make trades with other General Managers. Players with NTCs cannot be traded without their permission. Trades will be reviewed by the league before processed and completed.

ROSTERS
40
Teams must have at least eight players and a maximum of twelve players. At least one must be a goaltender and your team must have someone who has goaltending as a secondary position. Teams must have at least four forwards and three defenders as well. Teams must conform to these roster rules to be eligible to play.

TEAMS AND SCHEDULES
44
We are hoping to fill at least six teams for the men's division and at least four teams for the women's division. We would look to have games almost every night of the week with more on the weekends. With six teams we would hope to have at least twenty four games. With four teams we would aim for at least a twelve game season. If we end up with more teams than that the seasons will be longer!

STANDINGS AND STATISTICS
48
As long as there are at least six teams the league will be split into two conferences. If there are at least twelve teams the league will be split into two conferences with two divisions each. Standings and full statistics will be kept for both the men and women's leagues. Playoff qualification will depend on the amount of teams in the leagues.

PLAYER GMs

Player General Managers can select an unmanaged team or have the league appoint them to one. They can manage the team rosters via the draft, free agency and trading. The GM also has full power over who becomes their player coach as well.
