S56 Draft Selection Thread (Officially begins Monday, January 3 @8AM Central)

[TheSyndicate]

The draft officially starts Monday, January 3 at 8:00 AM, but you can start getting your picks in right now (Or email a list to Mamba).

DRAFT ORDER UPDATED ON DRAFT PREVIEW PAGE HERE: http://pbsl.ijbl.net/draft.htm

Lottery Pick Renames - when selecting the player, please give the name you wish to rename the player to at that time.

Allowed Renames
1. Basketball players (any level Euro, high school, college, etc) that haven't been used in PBSL before
2. A random name (can't be anyone famous...first and last names have to be names that I can reasonably verify actual people have)
3. Names from previous fake draft files

ANY REJECTED RENAMES DON'T GET A CHANCE TO RE-RENAME, SO FOLLOW THE RULES

DON'T FORGET TO USE THE "SUBSCRIBE TO TOPIC" LINK TO GET NOTIFIED WHEN THERE IS A PICK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL WHEN THE GUY ONE PICK AHEAD OF YOU IS ON THE CLOCK SO YOU KNOW AS SOON AS HE HAS PICKED.

Additionally, it's a common courtesy to give a heads up to the guy after you that he's up...

2 Hours time for every pick.

If you are "autopicked" (i.e., your pick is simmed because you miss the deadline) any remaining picks your team has will automatically be simmed unless you check in and ask not to have them simmed.

Dead Hours: 10:01pm-8:00am CST (clock won't tick on your "on clock time" during these hours... but picks can be made during this time, just draft won't officially resume until 8:00am)
