Is it legal to exchange information about various players with one's series mates?

The reason that everything is anonymized is to make it difficult to share information.
I suspect that is why ages are given but not heights. My understanding is that the
box scores aren't the same.

I'm drafting 16th so I'd just as soon have the other teams in the league knowing only star ratings on a lot of players. I'm going to have to be pretty lucky to get someone that is other than a "5".

I might be willing to share a little bit of disinformation with my leaguemates though.

Your actually lucky you got 12. I only got 3 though as I said before I got the team pretty late and invested a great deal on scouting (40k per week) just so i could get more info.

to try to answer to original answer a bitL:

the starsystem is an estimation your scouts made about the player. therefor the stars can not be linkd to a certein skill or potential. It is possible a 4 or 5 star potential player is disappointing if you actually get to see his real potential. But ofcourse chances are best he will have a good potential.

Who would you chose to pick 1st?:

5 ball´s rating, grade A-, and 4star potential
(really bad boxscore)

or

5ball´s rating, (no info about grade or potential)
(pretty good boxscore)


So, does the fact the 1st player has a Grade A- (minus) does that make him have a good chance to be a lot inferior compared to the 2nd one?

well you will have to gamble here.

you know about the A-. but you do not know the other A (5-balls) is A+,A- or just A.
I'd put the one you don't know about on top, since he might be an A+, in which case he will be noticably better then the A-, but he might have low potential. With the 4-ball potential of your A- however you are not guaranteed to have a player with real high potential. His potential will not be low, you can be confident in that, but will it be high? I'm not sure, and I even doubt it...

I personally would go for the A without more info. I personnaly always put every A- at the bottom of 5-balls in my drafts, even if his potential would also be 5 balls, unless maybe he is 18, because the other player might be 19,....

It's realy a personal choice, but you asked what I would do, so I answered, don't shoot me afterwards. ;)
