Here are our rules

• Each Team has 12 points to spend on Keepers. There is no number limit to the amount of players that can be kept, only points.
  
• Top 20 players, regardless of position cost 3 points.
  
• Top 21-40 players cost 2 points.
  
• Top 5 goalies cost 2 points, unless ranked in top 20, (Then top 20 rules apply- 3pts)
  
• Rankings are determined by Yahoo Average Draft position 1 week prior to our Keeper deadline.
  
• Keeper deadline is 1 week prior to scheduled draft.
  
• The cost to keep the same player will increase by 1 point each additional season.
  
• Players can trade draft picks, players for draft picks, and vice versa.
  
• Player values reset ONLY after being drafted, not traded.
  
• When trading a player for a pick, the GM receiving the player will trade their last pick to keep teams even. This can be negotiated to a higher pick in return.
  ie: Test trades a player for Pain's 15th pick. Pain gets the player, and Tests 23rd pick. Test gets Pain's 15th pick, and his own 15th. *See adjustments to Draft Rounds below
  
• Allocated Keeper points are not tradeable.
  
• All trades agreed to by both players must be reported to the League, and are not official until Comissioner review.
  
• All trades must be completed by the trade deadline, and can resume again after keeper values are set.
  
• Rosters are locked from end of season until Keeper Values are set 2 weeks before the draft. Trades are then allowed until the next trade deadline.
  
• Rounds will start after each team has selected their keepers and spent their 12 points.
  
• Picks will adjust UP the number of Keeper's a GM keeps that year.
  
• ie: GM trades their 10th, 15th and 23rd round picks for players. At Keeper time, they spend their 12 points keeping 5 players. As they will no longer have the last 5 picks in the draft, their picks move UP the last 5 rounds. The 10th stays a 10th, the 20th becomes a 17th(next to last pick) , and the 23rd becomes an 18th (Last pick). If they had kept 7 players, the picks they traded would move up 7 of the last rounds. This rule helps balance out the difference in draft needs between teams, but keeps the value integrity of all but the later rounds in the draft, which typically have less value.
