TD Guillotine League - Inaugural Season - One Vacancy remaining

DRAFTS

All GL drafts are serpentine style, meaning the draft order is reversed after each round has ended. All drafts consist of 14 rounds (14 picks per owner). The draft timer depends on which draft format you choose, Live (Online) drafts or Slow (Email) drafts. Further detail provided below.

You will be able to set your pre-draft player rankings from the league's home page at any point before the draft starts (see below). We highly encourage you to set your player rankings, which provides guidance for our systems if you are unable to make your selection. Your pre-draft rankings are also global, meaning you can use them for future drafts.

Live (Online) Drafts
*Draft Timer: 60 seconds per pick

All live drafts are held in our online draft room that can be accessed on either a mobile or desktop device. You can access the live draft room at any point after registering, and once your league has filled, the draft order will be randomly generated (results will also be sent via email). We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the draft room prior to your draft, and you need to arrive at least several minutes before its scheduled start to ensure that you are not experiencing any technical issues.

When it's time for you to make a selection, you will have 60 seconds to make your pick. There is an available player queue which provides guidance for our systems if it needs to auto-draft for you. The auto-draft control is located underneath the draft clock in the upper-left of the draft room (see below).

If you do not make a pick before the 60-second timer has expired, the system will select the top-ranked player in your queue. Or if your queue is empty, the top-ranked player (with an open roster position) from the remaining available player pool will be selected. In addition, if you fail to make a pick before the draft timer expires, you will automatically be put on auto-draft, which must manually turned off (see image above). Also, if you are late to the draft room for the start of the draft, you will put on auto-draft, which must be manually turned off upon entering the draft room.

It is your sole responsibility to ensure you make it to the start of you scheduled draft. If you think you may be late or miss your draft entirely, remember to utilize pre-draft player ranking feature (mentioned above) to ensure you have to best chance to obtain your preferred players.

If your league has not reached at least 13 (of 18) entrants before 10 minutes of the scheduled start, then the league will be cancelled and your account will be refunded in full. However, if your league has at least 13 members within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, the start time will be extended by 10 minutes in an effort to fill the league. After that, the start time will be extended another 10 minutes if another member joins. This process continues for 30 minutes after the original scheduled start time. If the league is not full after 30 minutes from the original start time, it will be cancelled and your account will be refunded in full.

Rosters will consist of 14 players (8 starters and 6 reserves). Starting lineups must consist of the following:

Wide Receiver 2

FREE AGENT ACQUISITION

All free agents are initially acquired via blind bidding using your Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). All owners begin the season with a $1,000 FAAB, and in order to acquire a player on waivers, a minimum bid of $1 must be placed. Remember, this is blind bidding, so the other owners in your league cannot see what you have bid on a player until after waivers have processed.

Blind bidding occurs on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the regular season, as detailed in the next section.

A player is awarded to the owner with the highest bid, and in the event of a tie for the highest bid, the player will be awarded to the owner with the lowest overall season-to-date point total.

Following each Thursdays waiver wire period (detailed further below), all remaining available free agents can be added on a first-come-first-serve (FCFS) basis up until a player's respective kick-off time for that week. Once an available player's game kicks off, he is put on waivers until the next week's Wednesday waiver wire period. FCFS transactions are free, so even those with a $0 FAAB budget can still make FCFS transactions.

As an anti-cheating measure, when you add a free agent to your roster during FCFS, that player cannot be dropped in the same week.

Waiver Wire Periods

Preseason Waiver Run: There will be one preseason waiver run on Wednesday, September 8 at 2:00 CST, which is the day before the NFL season opener. After the bids have processed, all remaining players on the waiver wire will be available on a first-come-first-serve (FCFS) basis.

In-Season Waiver Runs: After Week 1 results are finalized, Week 2 begins. There are two weekly waiver periods, running from Week 2 through Week 14 of the NFL regular season (there are no free agent transactions allowed from Week 15 through 17). The weekly waiver deadlines (in the aforementioned period of Week 2 through 14) are every Wednesday and Thursday by 2:00 PM CST. Players dropped during the Wednesday waiver period will be available for bidding in the Thursday run, but any players dropped during the Thursday waiver period (or after), will not be available until the following week's waiver periods.

About time we had one of these! I was going to start this.

Love the concept

In.

Almost that time of the year where this board is the first thing I look at every morning

Hell yeah, let’s do it TV

Count me in. Sounds like chaos

Does FAAB reset each week or do you only have so $$$$ to spend the entire season.


I’m in

I’m sure this is a dumb question but I’m assuming this is going to be a snake draft?

Just read a few articles about this format and it seems like complete madness and a ton of fun. Can’t wait

So am I in?

Idk are you? I did not interpret “interested” as being IN

FAAB $ is for the whole season

To blow it all week 1 or not sounds interesting and should be chaos
