NAFL E-Mail Defense Draft
Starts Monday, August 12th, 2024

DeFense

The NAFL E-Mail Defense will start at Monday, August 12th at 9:00 AM. The reason for this is because you can keep an IDP as a Franchise Player. These players are due August 1st and we need time to put them in the system. If you keep a defensive Franchise Player you lose your first pick in the e-mail draft. Here are some other things you need to know.

• Draft will start at 9:00 am PST / 12:00 noon EST on TBD.
• There will be 8 rounds.
• You get 2 hours to make your pick. Owners are encouraged to pick faster (Please do so…)
• You will get notified via e-mail and/or Text. (Whatever you have put into the MFL site). You then go to the MFL site and make your pick.
• Ten teams will draft.
You have to pick 2 DE/DT, 2 LB’s, 2 CB/S, 2 Def Teams. (please abide by these, you will get an error if you pick too many)
• No auto picking
• The draft gets paused at Midnight (Eastern Time) 9:00 pm PST and starts at 9:00 AM PST / Noon EST the next day if not completed.

Here are some important things you need to do prior to the Defense E-mail Draft.

PAY your League FEES. Here is the site. (If you do not pay, you are excluded from the e-mail draft).
Submit your Keeper players.
Log-in to the MFL Website before August 12th.
• Make sure the e-mail addresses and phone numbers are current and correct in the MFL site (I would suggest to do this so you can get a text that it is your turn to pick {Cool Feature}) This is important so you can get notified it is your turn, otherwise you will get bypassed.
