· LEADS DRAFT with Draft Coordinator, following instructions below:
1. All players within each division, are sorted by overall score. 2. The ratings of the 2 coach's children, and sponsor (if applicable) are added together to come up with a starting score/number for each team. 3. The team with the lowest score picks 1st. As a team picks, the score for the player selected is added to their aggregate score. The scores are continually recalculated with the lowest team always picking. 4. For example – If there were a total of 93 players in the bantam division, we would end up with 5 teams of 13 players and 2 teams of 14. 5. If a coach drafts one sibling, they automatically get the other. The second sibling is "slotted" so that when it is their turn to pick and the slotted player is within the available selection range (eg. there are fewer players left on the board with a higher rating than the # of teams picking.) they must pick him. If the second sibling is the sixth highest player left on the board and there are six teams picking, then you must use your selection to pick him. 6. If there is a tie for the lowest aggregate score, cards will be drawn from a deck, with the highest card winning. 7. At the end of the draft when every team has (13) players, a team may pass the selection of a 14th player. But each team can only pass once and if it is your turn, and 5 other teams have passed, you must select a player. 8.
