As of our 2015/16 season the league voted to get rid of the veteran draft; because of that, our league will turn into a dynasty league, where every player on your pro team is kept for the following season.
Section C
Trades
Commish will decide on most trades!
There will be other times the commish will form a committee such as below....
Trades will rarely be vetoed, unless tanking is definitely suspected or the deal is very one-sided (This would have to be pretty obvious though). If an unfair trade would ever occur, the Commish will call on a trade committee of three manager, plus commish. The result of the trade will be base on their findings and opinions of the trade committee which will come from the quality of the player who are in the trade. Short and long term repercussions of the players in the trade, as well as the current situation of the teams and where the teams are in the standings.
If any owner(s) feel a trade is very one-sided or unfair, they will not comment about it on message board. This can cause animosity between owners. The owner(s)should email the commish immediately with his concerns. Simply saying you do not agree with deal is not enough, as you must state your reasons for trying to uphold the trade. If Commish feels they are valid he will form a committee of three to discuss the trade. (In these cases, the result of a trade getting past through may take longer then 48hrs)
Please note: Managers can only trade picks for the current year, one year at a time. Next years prospect picks will only be made available at the start of our prospect draft.
When including picks or farm players (via Protected Prospect List) in your deal you must post them on yahoo message board. Since any farm roster player or pick can not be included in a trade on yahoo trade.
The Commish will re-post the trade in the 'Trade Tracker' thread on off-season site.
Here are some examples. Please post exactly as shown below
(Note that only one of the owners involved in the trade has to post full deal while the other owner should reply by saying 'I agree to trade'
1) Message Title: Boston/Toronto trade
Message: Boston trades Nick Lidstrom to Toronto for a 1st Rd draft pick. If trade approved to make room for Lidstrom Toronto will drop Matt Greene from their roster.
(Then if approved Commish will manually drop Greene from Leafs roster and add Lidstrom)
When any trades involve player from the 'Protected Prospect List' you should post this way. This would be followed (If they are sending acquired prospects to farm) by each team posting their revised farm clubs on their message(I will show u this a little later with the help of experienced owner)
2) Message Title: Atlanta/Winnipeg trade
Message: Atlanta trades Prospect Nazim Kadri and their 1st Rd draft pick. to Winnipeg for prospect Braydon Schenn and their 3rd round draft pick.
If a trade also involves roster players from each side first make the deal through Yahoo with the roster players only(You don't need to call up a yahoo available prospect to do the deal. And of course some prospects who are involved in deals wont be yahoo available at this time anyhow). Then post a full trade including prospects/Draft picks on the message board
3)Message Title: Detroit/Pittsburgh trade
Message: Detroit trades Hendrik Zetterberg and their 1st Rd draft pick to Pittsburgh for Gabriel Landeskog and prospect Jack Johnston
All other straight roster trades can be put through Yahoo. It is not necessary to post them (But a record of the trade will still be kept on record (via trade tracker) for our League History)
Section D
A) Prospect Draft
The prospect draft will take place during the month of August. The draft will always consist of three rounds.
*Please note when that we near the end of each season any team found sitting players for the purpose of getting a better draft pick could lose pick or position of pick.
Section E
Rules Unique to League
A) Each week, your team of goaltenders must reach the minimum of 2 appearances. If you fail to reach this mark, you will lose all of your goal-tending games for that week. Therefore each owner must make an effort to reach the 2 goalie appearances per week. If an owner is unable to reach the minimum then he must make an effort by adding or trading for a goalie, if there is a 2nd week where an owner did not reach the minimum the owner will receive a warning. A 3rd week the owner will be removed from the league. At any time during this sequence a goalie becomes injured and goes on the IR, than the above rules does not apply.
Section F
End of Season Rule
Once the season is completed, the teams who have not made the playoffs, the commish will lock the function of adding players and trades for those teams. Once a playoff team falls out in the first around, their function of adding players and trades will be locked. The final four teams function of adding players and trades will be locked after the championship week.
Section G
Post Draft Waiver Rule
During the off-season after the Prospect Draft has been completed and rosters have been submitted. Waivers (Free Agency) will be open before the start of the season. These waiver rules specifically include the waiver order will be reset based on last year's end of season regular season standings; in order to continue to provide a more competitive balance for the teams who are at the bottom of the standings.
Section H
Rule Proposals
A Rule Proposal will be done through a vote forum on our off-season site and can be made official with a minimum of 9 votes. If 16 votes are submitted and 8-8 draw is concluded, then the commish's vote would be automatically invalid to off-set the even numbers.
Section I
The Inactivity Rule
As a league we strive to be a transparent as possible, this includes every manager being active in setting up their line-ups throughout the season. As a league we do respect incidents such as people's internet is out, going on vacation, an illness in the family as good reasons for people not to be active. But unless the commissioner is made aware of the situation, whatever it may be, the "Inactivity Rule" will apply to everyone.
When a manager is caught being in-active three times (each time reaching a period of a full week).
1 - An email will be sent out to act as a warning about not setting your line-ups for a week.
2 - A second email will be sent out to act as a warning about not setting your line-ups for a second week.
3 - If caught for the third time, a email will be sent and removal from the league will come right after that.
This rule is to help the competition to remain fair throughout the season and to not allow any manager to gain additional wins because of an in-active owner they faced during a week.
