I'll need to implement a rule that FA claims will be unavailable from the end of the regular season through the completion of the Ammy Draft plus the day after. This is due to some draft pool players also being listed as FAs.
I will let anyone who has a claimed player already signed in this scenario stay on their new team but any pending claims will not be processed until after the draft. Also keep in mind that feeder league draft eligible players can return back to school if they are undrafted.
The idea that teams can claim players who are in the draft pool seems to bypass the purpose of the draft.
Yeah I agree. I'll go back and remove any player that shouldn't have been claimed. My apologies it was still early and not enough coffee this morning
Alright it's been a hectic week at work so I've finally had some time to look at recent FA claims. Double check that for me but I can't find any other violations listed below...
Disallowed:
*either pending claim voided or recently claimed/signed player removed from team and placed back in draft pool available players*-SS Malcolm Visser, Virginia
-3B Norm Elliot, Georgia
-RP Raul Ortiz, Georgia (not processed yet)
I will allow NC's claim of SS Arturo Acevedo since he is not part of the Draft Pool and was claimed before our new rule. I'll process this after we finish the Ammy Draft in Statslab when I release the next new file.
NEW RULE: FA claims are not allowed from the end of the Regular Season until after the conclusion of the Ammy Draft (including advancing 1 more day to allow for players that go undrafted to return to school). FA claims will open back up after the new file post-Ammy Draft is released.
