3. Draft
a) The draft will begin somewhere around a week before the start of each years first event. You will have 3 hours to make a selection and then you will be passed over. This is necessary since there will be a limited amount of time to draft. After drafting, please tag who is next to pick to keep things moving.
a1) Once your time is out the next person may pick. Picks can continue as normal. However, the person skipped can still go back and pick whenever they get back (first come first serve deal). For instance, Cooter gets skipped. Nico picks, but before CD does Cooter comes back. He can pick at that point before CD. He could also pick before Nico if he beats him to it.
b) The draft will consist of 11 rounds. In each round, you will draft an unranked UFC fighter. Each fighter must come in a different weight class
c) The draft will be a typical snake-style draft. After each round is completed, the order is reversed. Thus, a person who gets last pick in the first round will get first pick in the second round.
d) You are not allowed to draft anybody in the UFC.com top 15 as of the beginning of the draft.
e) You may also not draft anybody who has ever fought for a ufc title. This is to prevent people from drafting guys like Urijah Faber. This game is intended to show prospect savvy.
.
4. Transfers/Trades
a) At any time before the trade deadline, you may swap players with another owner. Both owners have to notify me in order for the trade to go through.
b) All trades have to be for an equal amount of prospects. You can’t trade your entire team for one guy.
c) EVERY OTHER MONTH, there will be a transfer period when you can add/drop prospects. You keep all of the points of your dropped prospect. You do not inherit any points from your added prospect. You also do not inherit any win streaks - all added fighters will be treated as if they have a 0-fight streak.
d) During the transfer period you can only make a maximum of 3 TRANSFERS.
e)Transfers are determined using a waiver system.

d) During the transfer period you can only make a maximum of 3 TRANSFERS.
e)Transfers are determined using a waiver system.
e.1)RULES OF THE WAVER SYSTEM
- The transfer period will start after the last card of Febuary, April, June, August, and October
- You may not add any fighters that are on the rankings that come out this week. You may also not add any fighters that have recently come into contract disputes and have only been dropped from the rankings for those reasons
- To determine who gets a fighter, if two owners attempt to claim the same one, use the rules below.
- If multiple owners request the same prospect, the person with the lower total number of successful waiver claims gets the prospect. If they have the same amount of successful waiver claims, the owner with the lower total score for the year gets that prospect. If that is also tied, the owner who placed the claim first gets the prospect.
- You may add a player that another has dropped.
- f) During the transfer period, you can drop your non-UFC prospect, but you may only fill that slot with another non-UFC prospect. Even if your non-UFC prospect has made the UFC, you may still drop him/her, but only for a non-UFC prospect.
g) There will be no trades after the final transfer period begins.
h) The Gastelum Provision; During add/drop periods or the draft, you will not be able to pick up a fighter who is simply unranked due to changing divisions or being suspended. (Garbrandt or Kevin Holland fall under the GP in 22) Since this is not objective, when a question is raised about a fighter who is not ranked, but should be (like Gastelum) and likely would be even with a loss, I will confer with a panel of League veterans. Majority decision will decide if the pick up is allowed. This rule is here in order to maintain the spirit of the game, which is to take guys who are not yet good enough to be in the top 15 and predict that they will win their way in.
