How is this a legal hiring?

Rule II.A.2 Draftees in a given draft class may not be hired as GMs or Co-GMs until after they are drafted. This can be waived under extenuating circumstances such as expansion. Selected GMs/Co-GMs in these circumstances will be held to the usual GM recreation rules.

Ok but what I want to know is if there are any extenuating circumstances where it can be waved

The bigger issue for me would be hiring a player who's under contract with another team before a trade has been made official.

Regardless though, these are 2 of my best friends (both of whom have GM'd alongside me) & I have the utmost confidence in them to turn this thing around.

D'aww you like me, you really like me!

I appreciate the kind words everyone.

Damned if you do damned if you don't. part of the reason that chicago might've denied it is because the choice was convenience and that HO was focused not on picking the best candidate but on picking the candidate that they could most easily get since he was s23.

Don't spout lies as facts. You have no idea.

You're right, I have no idea because I wasn't a part of the process. Even though I applied I was asked exactly 0 things by anyone from HO. This isn't just one person either, I've talked to the candidates and the communication involved with them is laughable, especially when HO talks about how previous HOs had poor communication. I'm trying to learn as much about the process because right now HO has people on their side yet won't reveal the process that they took in order to determine a GM.

This whole situation has been HO doing the bare minimum from what I've seen. What about that choosing kindness post? A lot of things said have not been kind towards the team and HO made such a big deal about making sure that people are respectful, but when it comes time for action HO hasn't done anything.

Have you ever been in charge of hiring someone? Like, in real life? You don't interview everyone who applies. Applicants are eliminated before that stage for various reasons. We did, however, interview many applicants and exchanged hundreds, literally hundreds, of messages in discord over the course of 48 hours this weekend. So to say that HO did nothing when it's very clearly the opposite is not only inherently false, it's just a lazy assumption on your part.

As a former HO member yourself, I would expect you to know that there is far more that goes on behind the scenes than most people ever see. But, please, keep spreading your false narrative so you can feel better about yourself.

Dude the amount of pettiness in this post is unreal. They responded quickly and fairly. Jiggly admitted himself the candidate they picked was solid. It's been like 48 hours and they worked to get things done. HO are people with lives right, they have other things to do other than run this league. The fact they got you a GM and a solution to this whole mess, and then you go and say that "HO did nothing" is just asinine.
