    Online Drafts
    League Details: Each league will be composed of 12 teams, and each draft will consist of 26 rounds.

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

    Random Draft Spot Selection: The NFBKC will set each NBA Best Ball 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 NBA Best Ball 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:

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

    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 NBA Best Ball 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
    Leagues have an optimal scoring format where your highest scoring player from each of the starting positions is scored at the end of each week. Owners do not have to set their starting lineups at all during the season. Live league scoring and overall standings will be run in real-time, but the final calculation for each week is done after all games are completed for the week. Weeks run from Monday through Sunday.
    Position Eligibility
    Players will be assigned positions of eligiblity before the start of the season by SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. No player will ever lose or gain eligibility originally designated by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., All decisions made by the SportsHub Games Network, Inc. commissioner regarding eligibility are final.
    Trades Between Managers
    To minimize the possibility of collusion, there will be no trading allowed.

    Scoring Overview
    The NBA Best Ball is a points-based league using the optimal scoring lineup from 12 positions each week for games played from Monday through Sunday. Each weekly total will be added together throughout the season and the team with the most league points and overall points will win each title.

    A starting lineup will consist of 12 players from a team's roster of 26 players. Each week a Best Ball team will have 4 starting Forwards, 4 starting Guards, 2 starting Centers and 2 starting Flex spots. The best combination of player points for those 12 spots will constitute a team's starting lineup for that week.

    Every team's optimal scoring lineup will be automatically scored each week (Monday through Sunday) from the required 12 starting positions.

    Cancellation

    At its sole discretion, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to terminate any NFBKC game, event or league at any time prior to the completion of the season due to any acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, change in applicable law, interruption of the season (including strikes, lockouts and/or use of replacement players), or any other situation beyond the control of SportsHub Games Network, Inc.. In the event of any such termination by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., all entry fees will be refunded, with the exception of any live event fees (if such live event has already occurred).

    At its sole discretion, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right to terminate any NFBKC game, event or league (including the NFBKC Main Event) if there are an insufficient number of teams prior to the scheduled start of the league. In this unlikely event, SportsHub Games Network, Inc. will refund all entry fees within 48 hours of cancellation notice and/or provide a new application form with the newly stated prize figures. In this situation, all pre-registered applicants have the right to a full refund or to agree to play for the newly announced prize structure.

    Code of Conduct

    All participants and co-managers are expected to behave in lawful, respectful and sportsman-like fashion at all live draft events, throughout the NFBKC season, and during use of any NFBKC website, including, but not limited to comments posted on any NFBKC message board. Additionally the NFBKC events, games and/or leagues may not be used for any form of gambling. Any conduct or message board post by a participant, co-manager or other person which is deemed by SportsHub Games Network, Inc., in its sole discretion, to be unlawful, or to have the effect of intimidating, harassing, offending or otherwise harming any other participant, co-manager, guest, or NFBKC/SportsHub Games Network, Inc. representative, is strictly prohibited. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion to ban any person from current and/or future participation in the NFBKC and/or from use of the message boards if such person engages in any such prohibited conduct or is otherwise in violation of any of these Rules. In addition, any person engaging in such conduct forfeits any rights to a refund, as well as any potential rights to a prize award. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. shall not be responsible or held liable to any person for damage to property or personal injury or death arising from the acts or omissions of any third parties. Any participants or co-managers who collude, or attempt to collude, or who attempts to blackmail, bribe or otherwise influence any representative of SportsHub Games Network, Inc./NFBKC, or who otherwise attempts to sabotage the league, in an effort to alter the results or outcome of any NFBKC game will be disqualified and will be prohibited from winning any prize award. If a participant is banned from participation in a current NFBKC game, then SportsHub Games Network, Inc. reserves the right, to take those actions which it sees fit, in its sole discretion with respect to such banned participant's team. Any criminal behavior may be referred to the appropriate authorities.

    Errors

    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.
