Online Drafts
League Details: Each league will be composed of 12 teams, and each draft will consist of 16 rounds.

Website: All Online Leagues will hold their drafts at https://nfc.shgn.com

Random Draft Spot Selection: The NFBKC will set each Main Event league as they fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Once that league is filled for that draft time, the league will be closed or signups will continue for a second or third league for that date and time.

Time Limit for Draft: If a participant does not make a selection in the allotted time, the draft room will select the top player from that owner's Player Queue and if no player is in the queue then the top available player from the player's default list will be selected. If there is a computer failure, an error made with a selection by an owner or any other type of technical malfunction, the draft moderator can stop the draft at any time and correct the error and then resume the draft. The NFBKC reserves the right to allow the draft moderator to roll-back the draft if a technical error occurred, but if the desired player had already been selected before the draft was stopped, that player is no longer available to be drafted.

Extended Drafts: are drafts where the pick timer is greater than or equal to one hour.

Pick Timers Cut in Half for Extended Drafts: In order to increase draft efficiency, once round 21 begins, the pick timer is cut in half for the remainder of extended drafts.

Overnight Pause for Extended Drafts: Extended drafts are paused overnight from 1 AM ET - 9 AM ET.

Moderated Drafts: If there is a computer failure, an error made with a selection by an owner or any other type of technical malfunction, the draft moderator can stop the draft at any time and correct the error and then resume the draft. The NFBKC reserves the right to allow the draft moderator to roll-back the draft if a technical error occurred, but if the desired player had already been selected before the draft was stopped, that player is no longer available to be drafted.

Commissioner Decisions: All decisions made by the NFBKC commissioner are final. Tough decisions sometimes must be made about eligibility rules, lineups, etc., and NFBKC participants must accept the unbiased ruling of the NFBKC commissioner.
Setting Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) Preferences

The NFBKC will use Kentucky Derby Style (KDS) preferences for draft preferences in all Main Event leagues. The Draft Preferences are listed as soon as you click on your team link. There you will see a list of 1 through 12 in order and an "Edit Preferences" link. Edit your list as often as you'd like and just save your preferences each time before the required deadline for this league.

Here's what KDS does: The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 12 BEFORE the leagues are randomly selected. Some owners would rather draft in the middle, if they are selected early in their league; others like to stay near the top and others like to move down to the lower end. KDS allows that if you are fortunate enough. A sample KDS from an owner could look like this:

6
5
8
10
2
7
9
11
4
1
12
3

If an owner wants the third pick and he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose 3 as his top option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day. NFBKC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected, pick the highest available preference for each owner and then announce the draft orders for each league.

Third Round Reversal

The Main Event will use Third Round Reversal for all drafts. This means in round one the draft order will go team 1 through team 12 and in round 2 the draft order will be team 12 through team 1. Then in round 3 the order will be team 12 through team 1 and then continue in serpentine fashion after that.

Here is how the first 4 rounds of the draft order will go:

  • Round 1: 1-12
  • Round 2: 12-1
  • Round 3: 12-1
  • Round 4: 1-12

Serpentine for the remainder of the draft.

Lineup Submission
The weekly deadline for setting your starting lineup is on Mondays, however, you don't have to lock in your entire starting lineup on Mondays. If you have players who don't play their first game of the week until Tuesday. You now are allowed to lock in your players on Monday at game time before their scheduled game that day and also at game time of their games on Tuesdays if that is their first game of the week.

There are two weekly lineup slates: Monday-Thursday AND Friday - Sunday. You must make mid-week lineup changes by game time before the players first team game Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to be effective for games played Friday through Sunday each week during the Contest.

In the event that a player does not have a game on Friday, the player will lock at game time before their first scheduled game that weekend. These lineup switches are unlimited.

All lineups may be submitted on the league web site.
Free Look
**2024-25: All NFBKC contests will allow participants to know the results of the Tuesday night, Oct. 22nd games before locking their Week 1 lineups. Every owner in every NFBKC league this year will get a free look at the two games before setting your lineup for the Wednesday night games that start at 7 pm ET. All players (from the 4 teams) from Tuesday, October 23rd games will lock on at 7 pm ET on Wednesday Oct. 23rd for that first semi-week scoring period.

Free Agents
Free agent pickups during the season will include players who are on NBA rosters at the time or players who were selected on Draft Day and later dropped. Even players who were originally selected on Draft Day, and then cut by their team are eligible during the regular season FAAB bidding period as once they are a part of that league they continue to be part of the free agent listing. If the players were good enough to be selected on Draft Day, they are then good enough to remain in that league's free agent pool.

Any player who is not on a team roster within your league and is on a NBA roster or once was on an NFBKC team in your league is considered a free agent for that league. The player pool is deemed closed of new free agents each Sunday at 7 AM ET before the FAAB bidding deadline and a player must have played at least 1 NBA game to be added to the pool at that time.

Free Agent Bidding Process: The free agent system will be a blind bidding process for each individual league. Each team will start with 1,000 free agent dollars for the season, and will be permitted to bid for free agents on a weekly basis with a minimum bid of $1 per player. Teams will not be able to see other team's free agent bids. The team with the highest bid on any given player will be awarded that player. The amount of the winning bid will be deducted from the winning team's free agent dollars. For each winning bid, the winning team must drop a player to make roster room for the free agent acquisition. If a team's free agent dollars go to zero, that team will no longer be allowed to bid for the rest of the season. No bid will be accepted that is larger than a team's available free agent dollars. All bids must be in increments of dollars (no cents). Only winning bids and the runner-up bids on each player will be shown after the FAAB bidding period for each NFBKC league.

Bidding Time Frame: The NFBKC bidding process will start the week before Opening Day. FAAB will run every week from Week 1 through Week 25 (there is no new FAAB period if there are one or more regular-season NBA tie-breaker games). Bids will be accepted on the league website from Monday at 3 PM ET until Sunday at 10 PM ET in each of these weeks. Rosters will be updated shortly after 10 PM ET on Sunday with the results of all successful bids.

Conditional Bids: Conditional bids can also be offered. In the event you may lose out on a player, you can place conditional bid(s) for other players during the bidding time frame. Subsequent conditional bids will become relevant only if the previous conditional bid fails. Bids do not require conditional bids. Bids may have several sequential conditional bids. Participants should note that the computer takes the HIGHEST BIDS and processes each bid in that order if you have multiple FAAB acquisition bids. ALL BIDS WILL BE PROCESSED IN THE ORDER OF DOLLAR VALUE ASSIGNED TO THOSE FREE AGENTS, highest to lowest.

Example:

Acquire Bobby Portis, $19, cut Marcus Morris
Acquire Bronny James, $16, cut Marcus Morris
Acquire Thanasis Antetokounmpo, $2, cut Marcus Morris

Number of Bids Limit: There is no limit to the number of bids that may be submitted each week in which bids are permitted.

Tied Bids: If there is a tie bid during the season, the team that receives the player will be determined in order by

Worst league standing at the time FAAB was run (Sunday night using Saturday's standings).
Lowest standing the previous week.
Lowest draft position from Draft Day.

Any tied bids during the first FAAB period will be given to the team with the lowest draft order from Draft Day, whether there were a few games played before then or not.

Commissioner Review of Player Drops: All player drops for free agents are subject to review by the NFBKC commissioner and can be revoked if the dropped player is deemed too valuable to be offered to that league's free agent pool, thus damaging the credibility of the overall contest. In the case of a star player being dropped in a league for a valid reason, the NFBKC commissioner reserves the right to allow the cut but keep the player out of that league's free agent pool for any length of time, possibly the entire season. All decisions by the NFBKC commissioner will be final.

The deadline for submitting any dispute or claim regarding the operation of any league draft is one hour after the conclusion of the draft itself; further, leaving any live draft event without submitting any dispute or claim regarding the draft constitutes your waiver of any right to challenge any aspect of the draft. You are strongly urged to double-check your lineups, trades, and free agent moves throughout the season, as SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFBKC will not be held liable for any errors in entering lineups, trades or free agent moves, and SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFBKC will not intervene or alter a transaction after lineups, trades or free agent moves are due.

Prize Splitting

Prize splitting amongst the principal registrant and co-managers is available, provided that the principal registrant has authorized payment to his co-managers in writing and in advance of the completion of the season. In order to authorize prize-splitting, the principal registrant must completely fill out and sign the authorization form designated by SportsHub Games Network, Inc. (including the name and address of the co-manager(s) and the applicable prize percentage to be paid to each co-manager(s)). Both the principal registrant and each co-manager designated on a prize-splitting form will be required to fill out a W-9. No prize money will be distributed until all necessary forms have been received by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. Both the principal registrant and the co-manager(s) will receive IRS Form 1099 reflecting the prize money paid to each. If SportsHub Games Network, Inc. deems, in its sole discretion, that the appropriate documentation and/or authorization has not been received, or has not been received in a timely fashion, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will pay prize payments only to the principal registrant.

All NFBKC team owners must have internet access and a valid e-mail address for communication. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. is not responsible for any issues which impede or interfere with the transmission or receipt of any transaction, including but not limited to, draft selections, trades, free agent moves and lineups.
