approval.
B. All interested members from the previous season have the right to retain their franchise as long as
they have not been banned by the commissioner.

manner, cheating, collusion and/or for reasons currently beyond comprehension but for which, at said
time, the league deems banning appropriate through majority vote.

D. Divisions The SFFL league will be divided into two, 5-team, divisions according to the odd vs.even
number format of the draft. For example, division 1 will have teams #2,#4, #6, #8, and #10.
IV. Draft
A. Draft Process
1. The draft will be determined by the final standings of the previous season. The 1st place team of
the previous season will have the last pick, the 2nd place team will have the next to last pick, the 3rd
place team will have the third to last pick, and the 4th place team will have the 4th to last pick. The
remaining 6 positions will be determined through a random drawing to take place at least 2 weeks
prior to draft day.
2. The random drawing must be performed in the presence of at least 2 league members.
3. Once the draft order is determined, the draft order will be in snake format (1st pick in round 1,
has last pick in round 2, and so forth).
4. The draft will either be on Labor day or the following day. The date/time will be discussed to assure
we dont conflict with holiday plans.

5. The draft will be performed online or in person (w/skype for out of town people) based on a
majority vote.
6. The draft will be 18 rounds.
B. Keepers
1. Keepers will begin in the 2014 season.
2. Eligible keepers must be drafted and must have been on the retaining teams roster at the
conclusion of last season. Traded players that were originally drafted may be kept by the acquiring
team.
2. Each franchise can keep a maximum of two players from the previous years roster, but is not
required to keeper any players.
3. By keeping a draft player, you forefeit the draft position that you acquired that player in. For
example, if you are keeping Tony Romo, who you drafted in the 3rd round, you will lose your third
pick in the new draft.
4.
If you are keeping 2 players in the same round, you lose that round and the following round.

5. A player can be be kept for a maximum of 2 seasons, not including the the season in which the
player was drafted.
6. Any new franchise has the option to adopt an existing and unclaimed franchises roster and retain
eligible keepers for the new season.
7. Keepers must be turned in to the commissioner 5 days before the schedule draft time.
8. Any revisions to the keeper rule will not apply retroactively to players currently in keeper status.
9. If you trade for a kept player, you can only keep him for the duration of the keeper time limit.
Time does not start over when a trade is complete.
V. Waivers
1. All unowned players will be set as 'On Waivers' immediately after the draft, each week of play or if
dropped from another team's roster. Players on waivers will remain so for a set period of time, during
which all teams will have the opportunity to make a claim on any player. When the waiver period
expires, the player will be awarded to the team with the highest waiver priority that made a claim,
and that team will move to the end of the waiver order. This process continues until all players with
claims on them process. At this time all players not added via waivers become free agents which can
be claimed by any team on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. The waiver order will not reset itself after each week. Choose strategically.
3. The person with the first draft pick will automatically have the last waiver claim. The person
drafting second will have second to last claim and so on.
4. There are no limits on the amount of waiver/free agent claims that can be made in a season.

periods.
