Q: Why am I unable to draft certain players in my draft?
A: Depending on the roster style of the league, you will need to have at least one player at all required positions. If you have not filled all positions and attempt to draft a player outside those positions, the draft room will not allow such a selection.

Q: What happens if a game is rained out?
A: If a game is rained out and not made up within a match’s scoring period, then all players in that game will receive 0 stats.
