Yahoo Trade question

[lmcjaho]

Okay - I have a trade pending in my Yahoo Public League since Friday - anybody know how long this trade will be pending before it passes? Here are the league settings:

Can't Cut List Provider: Yahoo! Sports
Max Moves: No maximum
Max Trades: No maximum
Trade Reject Time: 2
Trade End Date: November 18, 2005
Trade Review: League Votes

The Trade Reject time is 2 (2 what?!?) and League Votes - does this mean I have to wait until the whole league votes for it to pass or what? I ask because it doesn't look like the whole league is actively participating yet and I don't want to wait too long as the WW and FA pool has some decent options (though not as good as the trade) right now... Argh....

Okay smartypants - what forum should I use then? It's pretty much a football leftover question no?

A trade wont go through on Yahoo until the other owner accepts it (obviously). In your case it looks as if a trade will be pending for 2 days. Since your league is set for league trade reviews the other teams in the league will vote to let a trade go through. After the two days if more votes say yes than no yourself and the owner to whom you purposed the trade can make the deal What will happen if the other owner accepts it is you will then get a message that he has accepted the trade then you will have to verify once again that you want the trade to go through. After that the players are switched. If I remember correctly you will need to switch the players you receive to your starting roster.

Thanks PJ - it looks like it went through now - I was just concerned I would have to wait for every owner to vote and as I mentioned there are a few of them who don't seem too active...

It's not necessarily posted in the wrong forum. The question pertains to more of Yahoo's functionality, and not a trade request.

If you're gonna make a point of using "Wrong Forum", at least use the damn thing right.

Thanks aww - of course that would require a bit of effort on their part - they'd actually have to read my post instead of just spamming it...

Just so you know: when your league is set to 'league votes,' a trade will be vetoed if 1/3 of the owners in your league protest it.

It's rounded up, so in a 10-team league, four owners would have to protest it (12 teams, 4 votes, 13 teams, 5 votes, etc.).

Personally, I prefer the commissioner control option (assuming you have an established/trustworthy commish). If the commish is in control, he can push the trade through immediately rather than waiting on the review period. Can be very helpful if a deal is struck friday or saturday.

League votes is dumb unless you play with a rational group. I'm assuming that this league is a Yahoo public league...therefore, the people are irrational overreactionists.

They'll veto the fairest of trades just because it makes one team slightly stronger.
