Associations with Feeder Leagues

[jamesbutler2021]

Apologies in advance if this has been asked before (as I'm sure it has) but I can't seem to find a solid answer anywhere.

I have a promotion/relegation set up with 4 leagues, each "higher" than the other, grouped as an association. I know in the manual it says that associations allow for grouped draft pools and trading etc. but I just want to confirm, if I have a feeder league that is sufficient in size to account for all 4 leagues in my association, will all the leagues be drafting from that feeder pool (yes I have the shared draft option checked)? Even though only one league at a time can be selected as the "parent league" of the feeder?

Example in case I am being confusing: Association A has Leagues 1-4 and have shared drafts checked in the options page. Feeder League has League 1 as a parent (since you can only choose one), but since all 4 leagues share a draft, will all 4 leagues be drafting players from Feeder League?


Also a side question, is there a way to enable trading between leagues in an association? I don't see an option in the association options page but the manual seems to me to imply that this is possible. I have other major leagues outside of the association that I don't want to be able to trade with, so the "trade with other MLs" in League Settings is not what I'm looking for. If that's the only way to do it then no big deal, I don't really need that feature just was curious if it was a thing.
