The winner of each league will be entered into a raffle, prizes to be announced.

Completing your draft:
Drafting Order-
Snake Draft: In Snake Drafts, teams take turns drafting players live, with the pick order reversing each round.
Randomized Straight Draft: In a Straight Draft, each team drafts in the same order every round.
Drafting Styles: Once you decide on your drafting style, you can determine if a live draft or slow draft is easier for your league.
Slow draft: message your draft pick when its your turn, on your own time. Please be respectful of other peoples time.
Live draft: If convenient, set up a time to video chat, meet in person, and do submit your drafts in real time.
Draft Rules
Once selected, that Hero cannot be drafted by another Fantasy player. After the draft there are no trades or roster management since your highest scoring player at each position is slotted into your active lineup.
We will have a locked roster. Once we open draft submissions, we will not make any changes to the roster, even if a trailer drops.
Drafts open and close dates to be announced.
