Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Draft Centre & Trade Centre

What to know about running a league draft and managing trades digitally on RinkNet.

Can our league run its draft remotely instead of gathering in person?+
Yes. RinkNet's Draft Centre runs a league's draft either fully remote or from a common venue, with teams entering picks into the system for league approval either way. Cloud servers are built to scale for the high traffic a draft day brings, regardless of format.
What happens once the league approves a team's draft pick?+
Results populate automatically on a live public results page, including a profile for each player selected. Teams don't have to manually post or announce picks since the system handles that the moment a pick is approved.
Do our scouts' RinkNet lists carry into the draft, or do we have to rebuild them?+
They carry over automatically, since Draft Centre is fully integrated with RinkNet Scouting. Teams can watch players get removed from their list in real time as other teams draft them, so it's always clear who their top-rated available player is.
How are trades approved and signed on RinkNet?+
Trading teams enter their side of a deal by selecting from available players, picks, and other assets, then sign electronically. Once both teams have signed, the league commissioner signs off electronically to approve the trade.
Can teams only trade players they actually own?+
Yes. RinkNet's Trade Centre maintains each team's protected list automatically, so a team can only trade or post assets it actually owns. Player information is available throughout the process to help managers avoid mistakes before a trade is finalized.
Is there a private way to post players available for trade before making it official?+
Yes. The Trade Wire lets teams post players available for trade in a secure, private environment, including stats and other player information to help managers evaluate a deal. Nothing becomes public until a trade is actually signed and approved.
