Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

I've been asked to clarify the Northern Lights and San Diego situations.

So, just to state things as they stand:
Northern Lights, F3 has 2883 and RF has 27. (Result of trade requested and approved--as a result of RF drafting for F3.)
San Diego (not yet approved): RF currently HAS #7 (traded #2 to Untitled for a loosely-equivalent slot in AZ North), and is now working on trading #7 and #20 to F3 for #5 and #23.

Requested draft slots for RF: #5 (+2), #17 (original), #23 (-3)
Requested draft slots for F3: #7 (-2), #14 (original), #20 (+3)

I think that's fair, but I pity the San Diego draft runner keeping things straight!

The rulings:
I'm going to rule that San Diego is a fair trade.
I'm also going to rule that Northern Lights is a fair trade--it happened AFTER the draft was over, and there's no restriction on trading teams after the drafts (other than waivers, which this wasn't). Could have been a completely independent trade.
And one final ruling: All further slot trades are on hold until Shenzhen is posted. This is to give further discussion time and give a rookie draft runner a break from the hectic-ness around those trades. If something needs to be done to clarify slot-trade situations, then it'll be done and announced by the time Shenzhen is posted. Or there'll be a "nothing changing" announcement.

TBH, I'm mainly trying to buy some time here while the discussion(s) and considerations continue. I've got limited availability tomorrow due to non-FIRST volunteering (there is such a thing?), and Wednesday is a scheduled off-day, so there's time to consider things then.
