Hey SHL Community,

During the draft last night 2 trades came in from Texas that proposed the moving of a pick that had already been moved. Thankfully our process for verifying trades mid-draft allowed us to catch these mistakes as they happened without the need to make amendments or corrections post draft. However, per the rulebook, section I, Subsection B, Rule 2:

Code:
If a team trades a pick they do not possess at the time of the trade, they will lose their closest, highest owned 3rd round pick. A second infraction of this rule will result in the GM being fired.

While the consequences of this infraction specifically were minimal, this rule is in place because of how important it is for SHL GMs to be fully aware of their pick situation, and we’ve seen numerous times in the past how badly a double traded pick can impact the process for all GMs at the SHL level.

Therefore, the punishment is as follows:

- The Texas Renegades forfeit their next team-owned 3rd round selection, which will be an S62 3rd. Tagging @RedCapeDiver and @puolivalmiste for visibility.

As always, Head Office continues to work on ways to catch infractions like this as early as possible, and while we never enjoy dolling out a punishment, I’m really happy that our draft trade processing system has allowed us to minimize the fallout that stems from situations like this.

On behalf of the SHL Head Office,
