    NOTE:  The information in the following paragraph will not be available until after the carryover roster deadline:

    Alternate Roster and Free Agent Reports:  The roster reports linked above will show the team rosters after the roster cuts have been made. The Undrafted Players report will show all free agents:  those who were on the free agent list before the roster cuts and the previously owned players who will be released at the carryover deadline.  An alternate set of reports still list the released players on each team's rosters and designate which players will be released.  On the alternate reports, the players to be released will have a letter "f" next to their names on the team rosters.  The free agent report will only include those players who were already on the free agent list after the 1963 season and before the roster cuts

    Draft Procedures

    Beginning with the 1951 draft, a reverse lottery will be held to allocate draft picks for the first two rounds.  Otherwise, all rules in Section 7 (Drafts) of the Rulebook apply to the draft. The Procedures listed here are a supplement.

    1. The Draft takes place on the VBG forum.

    2. The Draft shall be moderated by Darrell Hanson. Other moderators may be appointed by Darrell if needed.

    3. Each Draft Pick must be made within a 12-hour Draft Pick Window that begins immediately following the preceding draft pick.

    4. If a Draft Pick Window expires, then a Draft Moderator shall post the Draft Pick per a draft list, if a draft list is submitted by the draft pick's owner. If a draft list is not available, the Diamond Mind software's autopick feature shall be used to make the draft pick.

    5. In the case that an invalid Draft Pick is made and the draft continues before the error is noticed, the Commissioner shall use his discretion in handling the situation.
