What date are we using as the cut off point?

Good question. Quite tricky if there are any player who have birthdays in the next week and are due to turn 24. But I'd guess the easiest way to do it is to say that players must be under 23 at the time of the draft starting (April 13th, 2017).

He's not exactly a popular choice on RAWK, but I couldn't really think of any under 23s who have achieved as much at senior level as him
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I've got to go out for a bit in about 5 mins. So I'm going to make my pick before I leave unless anyone objects.

Done. Waited as long as I could. Lawnmo is up now. Hopefully Mondzz can catch up soon.

Anyone who was 23 or under as of yesterday, 13th April.

Are we sticking to 2 hours per pick for round 1 then? Licking my lips here!

I've not done a draft before, they seem pretty slow.. i'm last pick so is it likely to be like Sunday when I go? just don't want to be holding others up thats all.

The second round will be much quicker, once we switch to one hour deadlines. For the first round we tend to try to let everyone get their first pick in. But if it drags much longer we might have to think of skipping people. I reckon you'll get your pick in tomorrow.

If you are last you will also get 2 picks in a row and then a long wait.

Sheer Magnetism has until morning to make his pick. If he doesn't show then it's Greatness at 10am, then Samie when he wakes up, then you're up. So I'd guess that'll be at about midday/lunchtime.
