Correct. If you match a bid in the first round you essentially purchase the pick that was used for the bid with points accumulated from your next pick(s). In 2018 we used pick 13 on Quaynor despite having no actual first rounder.
The beauty of this system for us in our situation means that we are free to chuck away our 20/21 firsts while still having official first round selections in Reef and Daicos, so no restrictions will apply in 2021 if we wish to trade our 2022 first.
Surely they'll throw out the rule soon anyway. We've seen enough to know that it serves little purpose and isn't protecting clubs from themselves or whatever it's supposed to do.
