FATHER/SON BUNDLE CLAUSE
1) In the event that Father/Son are both registered for the league year, they will be allowed to bundle themselves in the draft, per board approval, one time only.
1a) Whichever player is the higher pick, the lower draft position will be slotted per board vote. Once the higher player is drafted, that lower slotted position is automatically filled for that coach.
1b) If the Father or Son of this combo is a Coach, both players will be slotted accordingly by the board, pre draft.
1c) If the coach drafts a bundle and they share the same seed as the lower slotted player, the coach will then be “re-slotted” to the preceding higher round.
1d) After the 1 year bundle has been used, the bundle may not be repeated.
1e) If the Father has more than 1 son, each different son is a new bundle.
1f) This rule does not extend beyond Father/Son. Father, Step Father and Father In-Law are all acceptable.
2) Board approval will be weighed by variables including but not limited to separation of skill level, player skill comparable to league roster, individual relationship to NODL (are both new to the league and/or unknown/un-referred members), previous drafted teammates in the league, and more. If the players do not agree with the board’s slotting of player(s), they may retract their bundle from consideration and take their chances in the draft.
3) There are no regulations in place for a coach to draft any family member of their choosing, organically, during the draft process.
3a) There are no regulations between coach’s “gentlemen agreements” regarding drafting family member players, including no regulation if a different coach breaks that agreement.
