MPFL DRAFT

9:00pm EST on FRIDAY, JULY 26th

Let us know if you can make it to Canton, OH for the MPFL DRAFT Party that weekend

Rule change to eliminate veto votes on trades has passed.  8 votes yes, 0 votes no, 4 owners did not cast a vote.

Moving forward agreed upon trades between MPFL owners will become instant.  There will no longer be a 24 hour veto window moving forward.  Jarrod and I fully expect Danny to break the all time record for trades in a season this year.

Contracted Players have had their salaries adjusted, divisions are updated, and schedule for next year is completed.

Please double check for any errors

Rule Change Proposal:  Elimination of the Veto on trades

Moving forward the veto will be eliminated and all trades will become instant.

• Trades involving players who have already played in that week can not be traded until the following week.  So if a trade involves a player that plays Thursday night then you will need to agree on that trade prior to the kickoff of that game.
• If you truly believe there was collusion in a trade, please bring it to the attention of the commissioner with the reasons you believe there was collusion.
  
  • Collusion is defined as tanking one's own team to directly benefit only 1 team involved in the trade. A situation where a trade can not be rationalized to how it benefits both teams involved.
  • Example:  Last place teams trades the QB1 on the season to a playoff contender for a Kicker
• The Commissioner can reverse any trade where collusion has taken place.
• Trade deadline would be 11:59pm Saturday for the NFL week

Let's discuss on the board pros and cons to this rule proposal and then we will vote on it in 2 weeks.

Bringing forth discussion and vote on Brett's rule proposal to eliminate the veto vote on trades.

Here's his post from last season:

"Howdy everyone,

I would like to propose a rule change for vote this offseason related to our trading procedures.

Trading is a huge part of fantasy football - we all love screwing our friends over and working to convince them that our benched trash players are just one game away from being another team's Dynasty treasure.

Today - I would like to begin the conversation to make trading easier for all. I propose to formally remove the 24-hour processing timeframe with all trades, effective the 24-25 MPFL Season.

The processing timeline that we currently abide by is in effect to prevent collusion and cheating among owners. I am proud to say that within the MPFL, I have absolutely zero concern about any collusion or sign-stealing type behavior from my peers.

An instant trade policy allows for a more exciting and dynamic league and avoids the complications with last-minute deals. (Also, can you imagine Danny's team with instant trades? Going to be nuts!)"
