Chain Draft:

Draft Type: Snake

General Rules:
G1 - All matches will be for 24 hrs
G2 - All draft picks will be on 8 hr intervals. More time can be granted on Boss's sole discretion (in case of quick picks).
G3 - No Assistant Managers. It wastes more time. But non-playing members can act as a 'scout' recommending players. Manager have the only say in teams. Scouts cannot vote for manager's games. Scouts can only argue in absence of Manager in game threads.
G4 - Once posted, the pick stands. No changing. Take care before you post.

Overall Rules:
O1 - All time draft
O2 - There'll be a Pre-Draft block round where every manager can nominate 2 players who'll be banned from this draft.
O3 - Club link can be established only if both players have played together for the same club in a given season. Seasons need to have a minimum 15 matches by each player (mail league or champions league only(No cups). For NT card, it should be at least 1 match in any international tournament (i.e. no friendlies).

Theme of Draft (Chain) Rules:
T1 - Not more than 4 players from the same decade (birthday as per wiki)
* 90s decade will be from 01-Jan-1990 till 31-Dec-1999. Similar for all other decades.

Method of Drafting:
M1 - Snake order randomized by a neutral. Initial draft teams should be 12 players per team.
M2 - Picks to be linked by club career only. See Special Rules for further details.
Step 1 ~ 1st pick is open.
Step 2 ~ 2nd pick will be a player who has to have played his earlier pick. You need to mention club linked during the pick.
Step 3 ~ 3rd pick will be player who has to have played his his previous pick but NOT with the 'one before previous' player picked.
Step x ~ Cycle Step 2 & step 3 and continue till teams have been completed.​

Special Rules:
S1 - Every manager has one 'nation link card' to play. He can declare this card before and use the national team link to make the current pick. This card activates after the manager has picked 7 players (8th pick and onwards). Subsequent picks are back to club linked players only.
S2 - Every manager has one 'Reset' card to play. Once he plays the reset the draft mod will provide him a short list of Legacy players in the position (excepting GK) the manager indicates. Manager can choose a player from this list. Next pick will have to be club linked from this player and cycle continues. Card once played cannot be revoked.
* Legacy Player will be a good player, but not a standard draft pickup. Example: Carrick, Kuyt, Hargreaves etc.

Reinforcement Rules
R1 - Open reinforcements. i.e. not restricted to players picked in R1. Can pick new players previously not picked in this draft.
R2 - 2 reinforcement players per round.
R3 - Players picked in reinforcements must have a club link bottom 5 of your R1 picks. i.e Picks 8 - 12 both inclusive. Standard rule for all subsequent rounds.

Reinforcement for QF: Link to last 5 of R1.
Reinforcement for SF: Link to the 2 reinforcement picked in QF + last 3 of R1.
Reinforcement for Finals: Link to the 2 reinforcement picked in SF + 2 reinforcement picked in QF + last pick of R1.




Draft will officially start Wednesday, 26th-Aug-2015 00:00 hrs GMT (midnight). Picks can be made earlier at managers discretion with no time limit restrictions.

Guys really sorry but something has come up literally just now and it has zapped my time for the next few weeks. @Edgar Allan Pillow is it possible to replace me? I'm sure there were plenty people waiting. Really sorry and gutted I'm not gonna be able to play this one =[.
