Hi GMs,
In an effort to streamline how we track prospect picks, we will attempt to utilize Fantrax. As you know from the past we manually track these picks via the tracker on the forum. In the past this has caused some issues such as:
- Pick transactions were not captured or incorrectly captured on the trackers;
- GMs have traded their pick more than once;
- GMs are unsure of how many picks they have;
- Confusion on what picks are being traded in trade announcements.
Fantrax doesn't provide the option to track two sets of draft picks independently therefore they are combined. When you check out the draft picks on your roster page you will now see there are picks for rounds 11-13.
These rounds represent will the prospect pick rounds:
Round 11 = Prospect Round 1
Round 12 = Prospect Round 2
Round 13 = Prospect Round 3
This should be fairly simple to correlate, just drop the initial 1. The key thing to remember is round 11 is NOT a throw-away round. That's round 1 of the prospect draft.
For the off-season drafts, the expectation is we will be able to carry on as usual: the prospect draft will be offline, and the free agent draft online, and limited to 10 rounds.
Today/this week I'll be adjusting everyone's round 11-13 picks to match the trackers. You will see a number of weird trades go through. When I've finished I'll send another message out and post it on the board for you to confirm your picks. At that point, all future trades involving prospects will utilize rounds 11-13.
