2016 Draft a Franchise: Announcement Thread

[Mt. Crushmore]

As you can tell, the signups are underway for the 2016 Draft a Franchise. 

If you don't know what it is, 32 forum members come together and have a draft of current NFL players.  There will be 26 rounds in a snake-style draft.  The order will be randomized after all 32 people have signed up.

There are relatively few rules.  There is no trading of picks, you have 12 hours to pick and you must post a roster.

Use this thread to discuss for now until we get the game underway.  The game will start after the draft and we will then create a discussion thread for that.  

So, if you have any questions, shoot away in this thread––not the signup thread.

Slow signups

[Mt. Crushmore]

Can someone start messaging/tagging members who have played before or who you think would be good additions to the game? That speeds up the process. I usually do it, but I'm really busy right now.

You are all pretty active members on the board so I was wondering if you would be interested in participating this, the Draft a Franchise game. Basically, it is a snake style draft where we build a NFL team.

If you are interested, the signup thread is here:

To the people already signed up, tag anyone else who you think would like to participate.

@Ozzsome and @Archeearl92, is @PaRAYdise going to participate this year?

[Mt. Crushmore]

@LosT_in_TranSlatioN is @NFLfan123 going to participate?

Glad to have you on board! It's a pretty simple concept. Just build your team how you like and select when it's your turn!
