OK... let's see if I can answer these questions for all.
[b:7ca219acc3]Year of keeper.[/b:7ca219acc3] hackra is correct that the rules state we must announce year with player, but I think we probably decided as a group not to do that, at some point, and I did not document it. So, [b:7ca219acc3]years are not required[/b:7ca219acc3].
[b:7ca219acc3]Trading. [/b:7ca219acc3]Each team is allowed ONE trade that involves keeper(s) between now and the end of the live draft. After the live draft is over, keepers must remain (including the year drafted in the autodraft) on the roster through game 6 of the regular season. No trading for future considerations.
[b:7ca219acc3]Steal round.[/b:7ca219acc3] You cannot steal a player from your own roster with one exception: if you are the 12th team in the round and your team has not been stolen from (which has never happened).
[b:7ca219acc3]Trading AND the steal round. [/b:7ca219acc3]You can trade a steal pick, certainly, and end up with two picks in the steal round. However, you must retain the 7 keeper maximum and the hitter-pitcher ratio. So, if you protect three players and steal two, then you can only protect two more in the second set of keepers.
[b:7ca219acc3]Ballparks. [/b:7ca219acc3]We have all been in the same ballparks since season 18 (at the most recent), thus we can all change ballparks if we so choose. However, keep in mind that to change ballparks you must a)announce the new park with your keepers (first or second set) AND b)use one of your draft picks to obtain the ballpark (you will list the ballpark instead of a player in a draft slot). Conveniently, this means the new ATG6 parks are available to one and all. Keep in mind that [b:7ca219acc3]we use unique parks[/b:7ca219acc3], so they will be first come, first serve. Only when someone announces a change does their previous ballpark become available.
