in the op it clearly states protections are due at 1230pm on 6/15.

it is currently 1100am on 6/15.

You know, Eric, I've always respected your unflinching commitment to sticking to the rules as written so I'm pretty confused by this decision.

Can this please be explained? Dump posted his picks before the timer was up? 

Dump breaks the rule and gets rewarded for it?

For clarity, I initially did not protect Faried and it wasnt until after the picks were posted I realized I had more time. In any case, once I became aware this morning that I had time I would have protected him. 

I was initially discussing a trade with my last slot and did not add him. However, that trade fell through and per the rules I still have time to add him to my protections. How does Dump posting before the timer is up get rewarded? Its his fault for not following the correct rules?

i said protections had to be in before 12:30 pm june 15th

i did not say picks could not be made until 12:30 pm june 15th

in the same way that 2.1 cannot be made until 1.1 through 1.29 are made, dump could not make picks before protections had been posted by everyone

in the same way that 1.1 through 1.29 cannot be altered once 2.1 is made, once everyone had posted protections, and once he made his pick, protections cannot be altered

bar none the most ridiculous thing you've ever posted on the board. you could just own that you messed up, but this is just asinine

Unless you saw something that went wrong and you undo the draft and have people re-draft...if only that had ever happened.  

You also did not say that submissions were final.  You said they needed to be submitted by 12:30.  At no point did you say that picks could be made early and all submissions were considered final.

The following players will be on the free agent list until the end of season but cannot be signed.

Following the season, any player still under contract will go through contraction waivers 1 PM June 16th. All claims must be in 30 minutes before.

GMs need to do abide by everything the rules state, including this

This is hysterical...

the analogy to someone making a pick that wasn't theirs would be someone protecting a player that wasn't on their team. had that occurred, dump WOULD have been allowed to make his picks again, just like everyone after the voided pick was sequentially allowed a crack at that player

i don't explicitly say anything is final because the alternative is anarchy, as demonstrated by the draft example, or by how once a trade is posted as accepted by both parties it's final regardless of whether one changes their mind and regardless of whether that remorse happens before at or after the trade or any other deadline. this is how everything in the league works when multiple GMs are involved, as we've discovered this is how it worked multiple times in past expansion drafts

look we can sit here and bicker about this all day, but what’s done is done. Are you guys going to invest or not?

My issue is that this isnt consistent with how you run other deadlines.

First of the season DC's for instance. You can enter it whenever you want and make edits as long as its done prior to the DC deadline. 

FA Bids are another example, I can send bids at any point and then change them as long as its by the deadline. 

When we operate under this assumption for deadlines its not particularly fair to then change the interpretation of the rule. The deadline is in place for a reason, gives GMs the time for which they have to make a final decision.

i fully support this move by eric and anyone who disagrees can suck a dick
