The League Director will ask each coach from the league to call out the estimated round that the Head Coach s option would have been drafted in.

This process will repeat itself until all the options are assigned a round value. c. Brother/Sister options will be allowed and will be determined based on current rosters prior to the start of the draft. The League Director will ask each coach from the league to call out the estimated round that the brother/sister option would have been drafted in. The League Director will then call a vote of the teams (one vote per team) to determine 7 P a g e
8 which round value will be assigned to the brother/sister option. This process will repeat itself until all the brother/sister options are assigned a round value. d. A draft freeze point will be determined prior to the start of the draft. The freeze point will be calculated as ½ of the official league roster size for that particular season plus one. In other words, if the league roster size is 12 players, then the freeze point will be 7 players. The freeze point for each roster will be determined by totaling the number of returning 15 yr olds plus any Brother/Sister options, plus any Head Coach options. Once the freeze point has been reached by a team, it will temporarily stop drafting when it reaches the number. Once all teams have reached the freeze point, normal drafting will continue. e. All 15 year old players will be drafted together first. Teams will continue to draft until they have reached their freeze point. (See freeze point rule above for details). f. All 14 year olds will be drafted together once the 15 year olds have all been drafted. Teams will continue to draft until they have reached their roster limit for the season. Tiebreaker Rules 1.
