After some debate I believe trading up is allowed; the 27 Pirates traded up and we allowed it - can't see blocking others now that it has happened.

According to this, trading up is no longer allowed

I really don't know for sure what the rules are, but since we've already allowed a team to trade up I think we have to continue that. Seems v k reads it the same way.

I'm not trading up, so don't worry about me. Besides, even if I did and you already posted your pick, I'd say it would be completely illegal for me to trade up just to snatch that pick.

I was very public about my desire to trade up the first time so that we were all on a level playing field and I didn't blindside anyone with the move. I think anyone who wants to trade up should make it announced so that everyone in the same drafting era has the same chance to make a move.

My draft slot starts in an hour. If ybjsports hasn't picked yet, I get to skip him, correct?
