Woops, my bad. I misread. It's QD and Untitled that swapped spots.

I see TRF and F3 have a trade request up involving Central Illinois--I'll see what I can do on that one.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

One thing that I'd also like to propose is a no-trade draft position rule for district drafts, District champs, and world champs. Seems to make sense to me since these drafts are pretty highly regulated?

It is a bit in the future but worth talking about.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Makes sense for Champs, at minimum. Wouldn't be a bad idea for DCMPs. Those are ranking-determined, not random, so trading slots would kind of work around that determination.

I'd have to think about how much sense it makes for Districts.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I actually think this is one of the things where it makes the most sense; hear me out.

Thus far I personally haven't taken advantage of the trading draft spots but I would do it to go up in certain drafts, for example if I am the 5th pick in Israel but the last pick in Michigan I would gladly trade my day 1 Michigan spot (become the 5th pick for rounds 1 and 2) and keep my number 9 spot for day 2 as I effectively become the first pick.

Now that I think about it, are we keeping that rule or did it get thrown out, basically for those not in the know previously that draft would get randomized for day 1 and it would go 1-9, 9-1, 1-9 like normal but day 2 it would be 9-1, 1-9, 9-1, with the rotating drafts I don't know if we acknowledged it but I think it should stay if we haven't already had this discussion.

Also looking at the sheet if we keep the multiday drafts the way they have been previously then we technically need another random for Chesapeake district. Which I guess for waiver we just flip that draft to make the start of the wavier wire.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

My vote would be no draft pick trades for Champs, DCMP, and Two-day district drafts, since a two-day district draft is pretty effectively "fair" since the order is swapped for the second day.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I agree with the above.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I've just been contacted by Hitchhiker 42 to join F3. Is it fine to people to join in the middle of the season to a pre existing team?

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Normally has to be approved by the commissioner. I don't have anything particular against it.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Alright, I guess I'll wait for Eric's approval. Also, is this in the rulebook and I'm just blind? Might be a good thing to add for the next addition if not.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

It's in the rulebook, under "Team Play", that players on multiplayer teams can be added, substituted, or removed "within reason, with commissioner approval", as long as the team is under the maximum size. We've had this sort of situation before.


Approved, and good luck!

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I have a proposal... Can the random pick orders for each sets of drafts be released now? It benefits by giving teams a wider scope of what their season willook like. There aren't really any disadvantages of doing this.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'm not sure why you would do this....but regardless, this is a function of the draft assistant, which is started when posting a draft. Additionally team lists for the event change (as we experienced at Utah :(), so a random list now will likely need to be changed.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Sorry, what I meant was that the picking order for each sets of draft are released.
