CONSTITUATION
A. Before every 2nd season (alternating with the waiver draft) there will be an entry draft for rookie players who are not currently on a UFHL roster.
B. The draft order is determined by the following 2 seasons points totals added together and the lowest total will draft first and the highest total will draft last in every round.
C. Since there is no way to predict how many rookies there will be in any year, your only allowed to trade your 1st, 2nd and 3rd Round Draft picks, and only 2 years in advance. EX. Florida can only trade FLA 1, FLA 2 or FLA 3 in the years of 2004 or 2005.
Waiver Drafts:
A. Before every 2nd season (when there is not a entry draft) there will be a waiver draft.
B. The draft order is determined by the previous seasons point total. With the non-playoff teams picking 2 times before the playoff teams get to make there only selection. Non-playoff teams get 2 picks and playoff teams get 1 pick.
C. For every 7 points a team got they have to expose 1 player with a MAX of 16 exposed:
7 pts= kicked out of the league !
14 pts= 2 players exposed
21 pts= 3 players exposed
28 pts= 4 players exposed
