What are the guidelines or conditions of a trade being approved or rejected? Do we need an approval process?
Simply curious.
Thanks.

One of the co-commishes will look at the deal and either ok or reject it

What would constitute a trade being rejected? Is it subjective or objective? If objective, what are the stipulations?

It's subjective, but in my mind the only real reason to deny a trade is if there is obvious collusion involved and when talking to the owners who are part of a lop-sided trade if one or the other seems like they are cheating in some fashion. I do not see this being a problem and I do not foresee any deals being rejected unless half of the league starts posting about it. There are many facets to a dynasty trade and I trust that everyone here has their teams best interests at heart . . . rejected trades will be few and far between, if it ever happens at all.

I've played in leagues where trades were rejected because someone didn't like the trade. If two owners come to a mutual agreement on a trade, does there need to be an official approval/rejection process? I'm not saying our commisshs are mini-dictators - I just wanted to discuss this while the league is in its formative stages (in cause Adolph or Napoleon take over control of our league!).

Anyone already drafted to a team is fair game as trade bait. |

So trades would be moreso rejected if the league puts up a stink as opposed to an out of control leader?!  |

not liking the trade is not grounds for rejection . . . there must be serious evidence of cheating to reject a trade . . . also any trade that is being thought of as possibly being rejected will be thoroughly discussed with all involved trade members and perhaps the league at large . . . trade rejections will not be a hidden process where the commishes jump out and suddenly "TRADE REJECTED!!" It will be an open dialog about the thought processes that went into the trade . . . even if we don't agree with the trade, if the thought processes were logical and all owners involved truly believe it is the best thing for their team then the trade will not be rejected. It is truly HARD to get a trade rejected in a league I run . . . now if you go trading Braylon Edwards for Jay Feely . . . we might have a problem. |

Mudsharks I can empathize with your concerns. Let me tell you that I've been in another league with both the Commisioner's for about a year. They are fair and reasonable guys-not dictators.
To answer your question as to what constitutes a fair trade. One phrase, it passes the eyeball test. This is a free league and the participants seem to be elite players. I don't think you'll have to worry about trades being unfair or rejected.
Hope this alleviates any concerns your having about this subject.

I agree with Hellfire. Two people make a deal and they are both happy with it. Just because someone else does not like the deal does not mean it should be vetoed. The only way a deal will be vetoed is if we find out the teams are cheating. This is not a money league so I am sure everything will be on the up and up.
