SEASON12 DRAFT TRACKER

Pre-ranking for the draft will be turned on 1 day prior to the draft room opening to give all owners time to rank. Once the draft goes live, all owners will have 2 hours to draft if they have not ranked or wish to pick live. As always, if an owner is ranked and wants a commish to make the pick, post that it in the draft chat, otherwise owners will have a 2 hour time slot. We will still pause the Draft Clock from 9pm (PT) - 6am (PT) - this doesn't mean that you can't pick during that time period, just that the Clock is paused.

Draft Clock starts: Sunday, May 10th at 6am (PT)

Need Owners - Boards

The BBOTB 1901 - 2024 needs 1 owner. We are currently Drafting Franchises for the upcoming season. We use a variety of rules designed to level the playing fields for the "Lesser Franchises", with Budget adjustments. We also use historically accurate Ballpark options for each franchise. If you like Budget, and you want to compete with best managers on PC, this league is for you.
