Title: Hey DJ (Poll for league)
Post by Jimi on Aug 21^st, 2006, 12:22am

I don't like having to wait 2 days for the trades to go thru. Can you shorten it or is there a reason you wanted it to be 2 days.

*edited by DJ to add "Poll for league"

Well, that was a default setting when the league was set up. I guess it keeps people from trading a bunch of people right before game time on Sunday morning and gives everyone in the leage time to review the trade.

I can change it to anywhere from 72 hours to immediately.

I'll make it whatever anyone agrees on so I'll pose the question to everyone in the league:

What length of time do you want to wait for trades to process?

A. 72 hours
B. 48 hours
C. 24 hours
D. No wait period. Process immediately after they are accepted.

Sorry, but I gotta go with C.

I'm new enough to FF, and if I end up screwing something up, I want to be able to cancel it before it goes through right away.

Go ahead now, boo me off the field! :P

The reason that I brought it up is that a friend of mine that has been in a Fantasy league for a couple of years told me that they use 24hrs. He said that it isn't a big deal now, but when the season starts and you have to make changes fast due to injury etc, that a 2 day waiting period, and then if it didn't go thru and you had to try again, it might not work as well. 24hrs might be better than immedietly. I would take C or D.

I vote to keep it the same.

If the crowd is pro change, then C, but I don't think it should be immediate.

I will say "C" and here is why...

Last year, towards the end of the season in my work ESPN league, people who had no chance to make the playoffs started dumping their top players to people who were going to make the playoffs. It wasn't really a fair way to go about it.

Not that it would happen in this league, but if there is no trade review period, there's no way to protect the integrity of the league if trades go through immediately.

Then I change my answer to C for all the reasons above. Plus I'm totally new at all this crap and didn't know what I was talking about :)

I vote for C.
I don't like trading at all.
I have seen it too where a team takes advantage of another team and gets great players for almost nothing.
I prefer waiving players myself. I have not read the league rules but isn't there a trade deadline after so many weeks?

Not a whole lot of good players left when you are playing with 20 teams. Almost have to trade. Plus, trading is fun. ;;D

Tonight is the first time I looked really close at my team and it looks like I better get busy. Anyone need a wideout?

Title: Re: Hey DJ (Poll for league)
Post by DJ on Aug 23^rd, 2006, 6:54am

C it is. Trades now process in 24 instead of 48 hours.
