hypothetical trade question: to draft picks traded have to be in even #? Like a trade where you trade band x and get back band y plus a 14th round pick. Would this give the person who receives the odd pick 26 protected slots and the other 24? I think this could add an extra dimension
Afaik, you can trade whatever you want for whatever you want. It may be subject to polling if it feels unbalanced and collusive.
I'm just brainstorming various strategies and this is the shit that I come up with. I'm all for creative trades but I've seen enough issues in fantasy leagues to know to try to discuss all possibilities before the start.
Of course it shouldn't be unbalanced or collusive no matter what is tradable

Edit: also can a protected slot be part of a trade in addition to picks
You are assigned fifty draft picks and fifty undrafted picks, though you do not need to use all fifty of the undrafted picks if you don't want to. You can pick up or give up as many as you want so theoretically you could end up with a final lineup over or under 100 depending on your trades. You can trade acts, draft picks and undrafted picks. Whatever works for you and your trade partner.

You should be totally fine.
I've been burned by fantasy trade (Yahoo's) bullshit before. But there's no rule against what you described.

OFFS. I hadn't even considered that possibility. Adding an additional rule. Language pending...

What happened to you? I used yahoo last before I finally quit fantasy for good.
weirdest I saw was an argument over trading next season's fantasy draft pick for a player at the league trade deadline. Pretty sure it was Peyton Manning for the other guy's first pick
Rule 8 has been updated. (Emphasis added on the new text.)
8) Trades are allowed. All participants must verify the terms of the trade. (Note: Trades are subject to dispute. In the even that a trade is believed to be unrealistically lopsided, a participant can call for a poll on the validity of said trade.)

I traded someone Patrick Patterson for a trash player that I dropped immediately and a future ninth-round pick or something. When we drafted the next year, Yahoo just forgot the trade and I got fucked on it. Oh well.
I'm pretty sure that with this many eyeballs and the recency of it that that won't happen here.
I have an excuse. My husband is out of town on a boy’s war gaming I’m a big nerd trip. I can’t sleep without my sweetums.
Truthfully, I am a stay at home dad with a two month old (and a four year old but she's pretty low maintenance mostly). All concepts of sleep are foreign to me at this point. I absolutely should be asleep right now.

No but the draft is twice as long as usual with potentially an additional five participants. It's possible someone could get bored and just try to hand their lineup over to a friend.

I'm on the last beer of a sixer. I don't think I'm gonna hit the bar before close and I think I will go to bed, even though I don't need to be at work before noon.

Yeah. I think installing barriers to collusion is a good thing, with what happened last draft and people's roommates signing up. Trades being subject to review is standard fantasy stuff.

ahh. was there no shot at a manual override? at my peak enjoyment we used cbs sportsline. They let us program our scoring system that we had always used and perfected and scheduling into it (hockey). I didn't like yahoo's category based system. We rarely had trades and would often go entire seasons without. The last lockout killed it for me with the first league folding and my dislike of yahoo helping

I was commissioner, so yes. I could have manually set the draft order, but since I made the trade within their own structure, I didn't think I needed to.
As it was happening, it felt not worth whatever "controversy" it might have generated. It was a ninth-round pick, and my trade partner probably did something stupid, anyway. Just fucking annoying.

Silver Surfer is a friend of mine and my roommate during last school year. He was at Bonnaroo and has met a few people from the board. @radiatebased can confirm.

makes sense. The issue that my friends had wasn't the fairness of the deal, the problem was the "what if it isn't the same exact guys next year?" issue came up and a new guy might be put off that someone got 2 first round picks
