1) Draft picks may only be traded for the upcoming entry draft. For example, 2011 draft picks may not be traded until after the 2010 draft is complete.
2) Franchise GM playoffs format, divisional alignment follows that of MLB
3) A current GM may take on a position elsewhere only if they have served for one full season with their current franchise. The 2009 short season counts as a full season.
4) A player that is acquired by a team outside of the draft may be put on the EDR if that player 1) has never been on a Franchise GM roster before AND 2) was drafted in real life by that franchise.
These rules have already been followed by the staff, but are not set in the rules. Fellow RC members (this includes you Roy), please approve and comment if necessary.
