BRACKET AND DRAFT SETUP

Once captains have been determined, the teams will be seeded based on the number of captains selected. The draft order will be randomized. The order will be announced in the site PM or Discord.

Once the draft order has been set, the teams will be randomized once again to determine the order of the bracket. The bracket seeds will have the AWAY on the left and the HOME on the right. The order will be announced in the site PM or Discord.

The draft will begin at 08:00 PM ET. Each team will consist of EIGHT PLAYERS per team. If the event is 3’s, SIX PLAYERS per team.

Each team is required to have at least three forwards, two defensemen, and one goalie by the conclusion of the draft. Captains cannot change their positions after the draft. Captains may draft their team as they wish. It is encouraged to use all the draft picks as you never know if a team will need a utility player.

If a pick is skipped during the draft, contact the FNP Staff team to assign you a replacement pick if needed at the end of the draft. The manager may choose from the remaining draft pool only. The player chosen must play within the position limits they have signed up as.

ALL ROSTERS ARE LOCKED AT THE START OF GAMES! If a team needs to add a sub/replacement mid-event, contact FNP Staff to do so. You may not add players once the games have begun.

Why am I not on the draft list?

Why did my award get removed?
