WHAT IS KDS?

In 2008, the NFBC will implement KDS, which stands for Kentucky Derby Style preferences, for draft preferences in the Main Event, Ultimate League and all NFBC Satellite Leagues. All owners can set their Draft Preferences by going to their team on the game site, then going to MY SETTINGS (way to the right) and then pulling down to the link that says DRAFT PREFERENCES. There you'll see a list of 1 through 15 in order.

Here's what KDS does: The KDS process allows owners to rank their order of preference for Draft Day, ranking their preferences 1 through 15 BEFORE the leagues are randomly selected. Some owners would rather draft in the middle, if they are selected early in their league; others like to stay near the top and others like to move down to the lower end. KDS allows that if you're fortunate enough. A sample KDS from an owner could look like this: 3, 2, 1, 7, 6, 8, 15, 14, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. If an owner wants the third pick if he is selected No. 1 overall in his league, he would choose 3 as his top option and he would then be moved to third in that league on Draft Day if he was picked first out of the hat. NFBC officials will look at every owner's Draft Preferences after the leagues and orders are randomly selected and then announce the draft orders for each league.

How Is It Done?: Once each NFBC owner has officially signed up for the contest, they can find this feature in their game site under My Settings. Then click on Draft Preferences and you'll see the Draft Order ranked 1 through 15 and the option to change those preferences next to them. If you decide not to rank your preferences, your preferred order will remain 1 through 15. Owners can change their Draft Preferences right up until the announced deadline is set.

Why Is This Done?: Even though all leagues are randomly selected out of a hat, KDS does allow owners to have a little say in their draft spots. KDS allows that by telling NFBC officials where you'd prefer to draft if selected early out of a hat. No longer are you just slotted into that spot; you now can tell us a more preferred spot by setting your KDS preferences. In the end, most NFBC owners will get a more preferred draft spot than the random slot would have given them.
