Draft & Keepers

The RFFL draft process combines a 16-round snake draft, a draft lottery, draft slot selection, keeper declarations, and division assignment through chosen draft slot.

Timeout Rule

If a team misses its 24-hour slot and keeper selection window, the team drops to the bottom of the slot-selection list and may choose only from remaining slots. This rule was adopted in 2016 and is indexed as the Draft Slot Selection Timeout Rule.
