HOW DOES THE DRAFT WORK?

At the completion of the player registration window, appointed coaches will be provided with a full list of every player who has registered to carry out the draft selection process. All players will then be selected for the open training session where the coaches can see the players and help them with their draft selections.

Coaches will select a total of 10-12 players for their team, two of which are goalkeepers (subject to registrations) using a ‘snake draft system’. In a snake draft, each team coach has one pick in each round (12 rounds). Each coach makes their first-round pick based on a predetermined order. When the first round is over, the coach that picked last in the first-round picks first in the second round — in other words, the draft snakes back on itself.

The drafted players must confirm their position in the team by Sunday 17 November. Once players have confirmed their position, they will be invoiced and payment must be made by Sunday 24 November.

• Players who are not drafted can choose to be classed as 'Emergency Players'.
• Emergency Players can be called into action to replace any player who suffers an injury, or illness but will only be available for that team for the remainder of the competition.
• Emergency players “buy out” the remaining games from the player they are replacing.
