On The Clock
The room

Every manager is on the clock. Final keeper declarations by the deadline. The board freezes when the last keeper locks.

02 · Order

Draft order

Set by commissioner. Order is published here when finalized. No separate email, no group chat pin.

03 · Pick Trades

Who moved a pick

Everyone starts with 14 picks. Below are the only teams whose picks shifted before draft day. Shows which rounds got traded away, which ones got picked up. Round 15 is the keeper slot and isn't counted here.

Reminder only. This isn't the package log. For the player side of any deal, DM the commissioner.
04 · Rules

Keeper mechanics

One keeper per team. Comes off the board in Round 15. One-and-done applies, with a specific carve-out for new owners.

One keeper per team

Up to sixteen keeper declarations. Only those players come off the pool before the draft opens.

Declare by the deadline. Silence = no keeper, and you draft with a full slate.

Selected in Round 15

Your keeper is not free. They occupy your Round 15 slot on the Yahoo board. Same cost, same rule for everyone.

Trade a late-round pick if you want the flexibility to draft over the top of your keeper. That is legal.

One-and-done

A player kept going into Year N cannot be that same franchise's keeper going into Year N+1. Back to the pool.

The pool refreshes annually. Nobody stashes the same player forever.

New-owner exception

A manager NEW to a franchise slot is exempt from one-and-done on the players kept by the previous owner. First keeper cycle only.

Applies once per new-owner transition, not every season.

05 · Returning to the pool

Off-limits, then wide open

These thirteen players were kept in 2025 and cannot be kept again by the same franchise in 2026. Nothing stops another team from drafting them.

Read it twice. Off-limits means "cannot be YOUR keeper this year." Everybody else is free to draft them. Yinka carries no ban. He has never kept a player in league history and drafts from a fully open pool every year.
