2017 Warpath $$$ League

I'm all set.



Love you too man

Dues paid

Dues paid. Hope there's another motivated owner out there who wants to take the last spot. We've had some in the past that lost interest by Week 4...

Draft order is up:

1) NC Skins
2) Mustangs
3) Big Poppa Pump
4) Chico-E
5) Iran's Nukes
6) Jamf
7) JR's Dirtbags
8) Fighting Daltons
9) RedskinsInNYC
10) SkinsNcanes
11) Daseals Darlings
12) Punch it in

Nice. Thanks for the heads up.

Is pick trading allowed? or would the mechanics be too much of a pain in the ass to do (if anyone were actually interested in it)?

Trading picks is allowed although I'm not sure how it works exactly. Looks like it's during the draft only?

Same payouts as in previous years $400 to the winner $200 for second place

As to trading, probably have to work it out in advance b/c everyone needs to have same number of picks in the end. If yahoo works like it has in the past, teams have only so many slots to fill.

Regardless, should make things a little more interesting.

If trading going to be contemplated, and can only be done during draft, we really should consider some guidelines. Otherwise, with only two minutes between rounds, potential for lots of griping and moaning.

Matty, is there anything outlining how the trades can happen on draft day? Will the slots be actually exchanged or will it just be "I am picking this player for X in exchange for him picking a player of my choice with X's next pick." ?

Couple of thoughts:
1) Trades must be announced and terms completely set out in the draft chat. Only published trades are enforceable and only for there published terms.

2) Once one manager acts in reliance on the terms of the trade, the other manager(s) are bound to the published terms of the trade even if draft board unexpectedly changes.

3) Trade of picked player for draft pick final once draft pick at issue taken.

4) Trade of picked players must include one draft pick (otherwise, if just players, has to wait until post draft).

Also, if in draft trading allowed, would an increase of the round time to three minutes be objectionable? It will add time if folks are zombie drafting but leaves a little time for wheeling and dealing. Not sure if the benefit worth the time cost, but just throwing it out there.

During draft, I'll be happy to try and memorialize the trades as they happen for tracking purposes.

I would recommend people contemplate potential trades ahead of time and discuss with potential partners to facilitate draft day trading.

Final thought - in season trades can be vetoed by a majority of owners. Should there be an in draft veto mechanism? I would suggest not as it would be cumbersome and, generally, the purpose of the in season veto is to prevent a losing team from dumping players or due to lost interest. I don't think either of these would be a draft day concern.

I'll try to research it. As for the time between picks 2 minutes is the max.
