[FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

[JosephC]

The yung power outage strikes again, I swear it happens to me atleast 1 draft a year. (My phone wasn't charged when I woke up, so I had no way to contact anyone until it conveniently came up 20m late -.-)

Brennan has all the lists for UT.

[Golfer4646]

Untitled Team and The Breakfast Company have agreed to a trade involving the Greater Kansas City and Central Illinois Regionals.



The trade agreement is:

Untitled Team receives:
#15 overall at the Central Illinois Regional
#4 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional
#15 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional

The Breakfast Company receives:
#16 overall at the Central Illinois Regional
#2 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional
#17 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional


I tried to enter this into the pending trades sheet, but may not have done so correctly.

The entry was correct. However, it does help to look at the approved trades sheet. Untitled's #16 was already traded to TBC for the #11. Can't trade the same pick twice.

That shouldn't have gone through since Untitled double booked us and instead the deal went to QD

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.

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.

[EricH]

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.

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.

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.

Just as a note, Toluca is in the same boat, as randomization triggers at Israel for the DCMP drafts.

The general plan was that the rotation would simply run once again if the remaining drafts were <1/2 of one rotation, and only re-randomize if that wasn't the case.

Oh, right, and about the waiver priority: It's rookie players in order of signup, then returning players in reverse order of last year's finish (as much as possible). Hmmm.... Now there's an idea...

Any objections to running Toluca and Chesapeake on straight waiver priority?

I concur on that. 1-day district drafts are still under discussion, I believe, but I'm leaning towards disallowing trading on those due to the deep fields seen at district drafts.

So would that mean the order would be the same for both, or reversed, or something else?

Possibly one normal and one reverse--don't think I'd do both events the same way. Or one normal, and one rotated.

[JosephC]

I agree with the above.

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?

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