British Announcements

[Ringo]

Some timetable announcements:

Sunday 17th November Midnight Trade Period 1 Concludes

Monday 18th November Final Trade approvals.

Tuesday 19th November to Thursday 21st November
Final delisting of players to enable selections in National Draft and Rookie/Preseason Draft prior to commencement of AFL National Draft.
Some rules to be clear on
You must de-list sufficient players from your Senior list to match the picks that you wish to make. eg if you have 8 picks available and only want to use 6 you must have 6 Senior vacancies on your list and you will pass with picks 7 & 8.
You can use a pick to promote a rookie to your Senior list.
At the conclusion of the National Draft you must have 41 Senior players on your franchise list.
You must also de-list or promote rookies from your list to enable you to take part in the pre-season Rookie draft,
As there are only 3 rounds in the Rookie draft you must keep at least one Rookie on your list and at the end of the pre-season rookie draft you must have 4 rookies on your list.
Thursday 21st November
At conclusion of of AFL National Draft we will commence our draft as per final draft order posted.
Wednesday 27th November
If our National Draft has been completed we will commence Pre-season Rookie Draft if not Pre-season Rookie draft will commence on conclusion of National Draft.

On conclusion of Pre-season Rookie draft 2nd trade period will commence.

I will be in New Zealand from 4th - 19th November and will be logging in when able to rule on trades etc. but may not have final draft order and lists available till 20th November if connections are flaky.

Right now I have 3 spots on my rookie list. If I was to trade one of them, do I then pass one of my NAT draft picks (say pick 122) which'll then go to into the rookie draft after Rookie 12? Obviously I won't use pick 12 but for examples sake I have here. :)

As per the rules as they Stand PB if you trade a rookie draft pick for a player that player will go onto your rookie list as you have drafted a player onto the rookie list.
