The 'Keeper' rule allows you to retain a player into the next season. The player cannot be kept if they were drafted in the top 3 the previous year - this is regardless of who drafted the player, e.g. if a player traded or if dropped then picked up off the waivers.
If you opt to keep a player under this rule you lose a a position 2 positions rounds earlier than when they were drafted the previous year. i.e. if you drafted a player round 10 last year, your Keeper would cost you round 8 this year. You need to submit your keeper 1 week prior to the live draft.
Keeping a player who was not drafted, i.e. picked up off the waivers, is classed as a 'round 16 pick' therefore you would lose round 14.
There is a maximum 3 year retention of a single player (inclusive of the original year obtained/drafted).
As mentioned in the 'Payments' drop down, the punt club occurs twice a season for each coach. On each occasion there should be a £30 donation to the kitty (if not contributed at the beginning of the season) and a £20 bet of your choice - with any winnings also going into the kitty.
The bets are at your discretion to place in any way possible. Given the purpose of the league, we encourage bets on NFL for the league to all watch, but money in the kitty, is money in the kitty at the end of the day!
There is also a requirement for you to record a hype video with the reasoning for the bet to get the coaches all fired up.
And one final thing to remember coaches... Don't Fuck Up!!!
