Rules Committee Approves Draft Pick Reform & Other Minor Changes

Bellevue, NE - The Redraft League will now be picking their picks.

After a proposal from Alex Annan and RJ Dechow - authors of some of the League's largest reforms - draft order will no longer be randomized for the Redraft League. Instead, in the order of the previous year's standings, players will choose which spot they would like to draft from.

This draft (perhaps to be called "Draft Squared," "Double Draft," "Half-Draft," or "The Pick Draft") must be held at least two weeks prior to the Holiest of Days, Draft Day. With the new change, the Commissioner of the Redraft League may either host a live draft with call-ins, or he may take ballot submissions and announce the results.

The Rules Committee also approved other smaller changes, such as clarifying the function of a vote to abstain, limiting league-specific changes to that league's members, and removing the League-official Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame. Commissioner Pancake is expected to retain a version of both halls on the League website.

Additionally, the League elected its commissioners for the coming season. Not wanting to complicate things, the incumbent commissioners were all re-elected. No members departed the League, and no members were added.

The Dynasty League's procedure of drafting in reverse order of the previous year's standings remains unchanged. Commissioner Dechow will be tasked with scheduling the draft pick draft.
