Offseason Timeline
By December 4th: Announce Keeper Players
By December 11th: Select Draft Position
December 18-21 (TBD): Draft
Keeper Rules:
- 1st round picks from the previous draft are not eligible to be kept.
- Managers may select a maximum of two keeper players.
- Keeper players consume the 2020 draft pick of their 2019 round minus one. For example, Luka Doncic was drafted in the 2019 second round, so he would consume a 2020 first round pick if he's selected as a keeper player by his manager.
- 2019 undrafted players selected as a 2020 keeper player will consume a 7th round pick in the 2020 draft.
Draft Position Selection:
The draft order will be created by managers selecting their position based on the 2019 final standings with the priority going to the higher ranked teams. This is a one time solution and will not be implemented for the 2021 draft.
Please announce your desired draft position as quickly as possible after every manager has declared their keeper players.
2019 Final Standings
- SplitT
- Team Island Vybez
- Shabazz
- Flagrant Fowl
- BookTheGoat
- Huskies

- Andrew Gaze AllStars
- Dolemite
- Maldo
- Superbone's Suns
- Project Mayhem
In the first three rounds of the 2019 draft SplitT selected 1. Nikola Jokic, 2. Trae Young, and 3. Zion Williamson. Jokic is not eligible to be kept per the no first round keepers rule, so Trae and/or Zion are likely to be his keeper selections. If he choses to keep Trae Young (and another non-Zion player), Trae will consume his 2020 first round selection. So it would benefit him to select the 12th draft position because he would then pick 1st in the subsequent round (13th overall) from the pool of non-keeper players.
If SplitT decides to keep both Trae Young and Zion Williamson, his better strategy is to select the 1st draft position because Trae Young would consume the 1st round pick and Zion would consume his 2nd round pick (24th overall). This strategy would allow him to select the 1st pick in the subsequent round (25th overall) from the pool of non-keeper players.
Draft Time & Date:
Pre-season games will be concluded on December 19th and the regular season will tip-off on December 22nd. We'll conduct the draft sometime during that window at a time and date that is most convenient for as many managers as possible.
