Posting in here to get a wider pull. I'll definitely contribute to other threads though. I hope that's OK.

Forced Acceleration Of Dues Payment To Process A Trade? (1 Viewer)

I think this is a fair commish question that ive seen around. was this accelerated payment policy an actual policy that was known to all owners prior to this transaction? if yes, then there's nothing to discuss imo. if he made it up for this situation specifically, then he went over his boundaries regardless of how expensive the league is.
this sounds similar to what I use to do in prior years where owners have to pay their fees before the start of the season and they are locked out of any transactions on waiver until they make their payments. don't think i ever had to enforce it, but everyone knew that was the policy and stuck by it.

So managers cannot trade until after week 8?

then it's terrible anyway we look at it. but i missed that point from underacheivers, if second payment is due week 8, but you said the payment was accelerated, then anyone who wants to trade have to make the second payment under his new "policy" like underachievers alluded to? something doesn't add up. or did this trade occur in the offseason before the first payment was due?

Anyone can make trades regardless of paying that 2nd half or not. So if you haven't paid the 2nd half and it's still before week 8, then trades are still gonna go through. Often times owners wind up delaying payment until the end of the season, but historically, they've been able to make trades too. Nobody has ever been mandated to pay dues ahead of time as a condition of a trade.

I'm so lost on this. The questions makes it sound like the payment was accelerated to push the trade through.
Pigskin Fanatic

agree and that sounds like exactly what happened. why he mandated the payment is a mystery. i can sympathize a little bit if this owner is a late payer historically and the commish was opportunistic to avoid a payment situation which is a ##### at the end of a season. but still, seems like an odd move and if i was the one forced to pay that i'd quit the league on principle. also, i have to assume from this that both owners had to pay the fees. otherwise, what are we talking about here? many holes in this transaction.

Cant a mod at least move these to the assistant coach? He's started 3 or 4 this week alone.

I have no idea what's going on, but how many threads do you need asking this?

I may need to reread the post But it looks like Star called out some guys trade as being "unfair" to which the Comish responded that said teams dues are already paid in full Meaning let it go because if ya don't like it? You gotta go... Guess maybe a chance for some lack of trust in certain folks paying their share too

He was asked to post these in the assistant coach thread. I guess he forgot.
On one of them he said he hit backspace too many times so that’s how it ended up here instead of there.

Think Star's been asked to limit to one per day/week First one I have seen in awhile Believe more rope needed to say much at this point
WTH you guys play in a League that does not require dues paid in advance

One per day of relevant topics for everyone to take part in.
His league specific ones, I believe, he was asked to go to assistant coach.
The problem is everyone attacks him because he only cares about himself in his leagues and he responds well and doesn’t respond negatively so everyone else becomes the at fault party. So non of the mods do anything.

Sorry if it upset you guys. You can always ignore though. I've been more active on other threads and feel like I've been contributing there, but now this discussion is not about what I posted.
But thanks anyway. Like always, I appreciate all thoughtful and serious responses.

Yeah well don't feed with fuel Everything is what ya make of it Believe lesson learned here is to try to play in a real League that mandates dues paid by Season start or something Least that's what I hope to see conversed on the manner Takes two right!

So what's your policy with commissioners. If you don't know the guy, will you play in his league? I'm starting to think that's the better policy.

Well the issue is that the Commish forced dues to be paid in full as a condition of the trade. That's a bit concerning regardless of who the owner is and how he reacted to it (which I don't know).
B/c what if the Commish asks for dues to be paid and then denies the trade?
the lone star
Footballguy
I think some limits are good. B/c, for example, what if they drop someone out of the playoffs or completely change up the draft order at the last second?

No hard feelings here brah Don't really much care to see anyone not allowed to post As you say there is a block option Think its nice that you haven't decided to reword your question too (imho) IF something is broke its broken Planning to collect dues in the middle of the Season sounds like poor business Hopefully, you have better luck with your next League

Looking at the question again though, I could rephrase it a little. Didn't really see that the first time around.

Hard to say much if anything that will make any sense Due's should already be paid! You really think someone is gonna fork over dues taking over a gutted team?
Look trades ain't exactly simple to evaluate especially when team owners may need their handheld Yeah it is really easy to say this or that is why such n' such But sometimes reality just slaps you in the face all of a sudden

Please note that its best that most all posts contribute in some fashion for the benefit of most if not all Think you posted plenty enough info or at least key points of interests at this point
Feel like I’m trying to read Japanese in here. None of these posts make any sense but I guess I missed all the details in other posts.
My only question is wouldn’t the guy who traded the star player away be the one you would want to secure payment from? He would be the one I would worry about bailing when his team stinks.
Anyway, the commish’s explanation either stinks or was worded very poorly by Op. Either way good luck with the resolution.

Probably a bit to personal a question for my taste but I will try an answer Guy should be honest (that's probably it)
Case in point goes back to H.S. Always loved Football Anyway this like junior/senior ran a pool Think it cost me a buck or something But yeah I remember him asking if I wanted to see a copy of everyone's picks I was like No that's okay So anyway after a few weeks of games without winning I decided to really buckle down I picked every game which may have included two upsets (I forget) Never forget the guy coming to tell me someone else picked the same I looked at him and I think it was his buddy who giggled/chuckled Yeap that was my last pool! LOL

Yeah its kind of too complicated to explain in laymen's terms Can you possibly contribute as to what if any limits in power a Comish should have in your League?
For your examples...Then everyone agrees to kick a terrible commish out of power/quit the league. Those are very simple pushing the powers of a commish to far and honestly I don’t see how anyone would ever experience them because they are so outlandish.
Gotcha. Yeah our commish can obviously enforce any rule in the by laws. In 15 years we’ve only had one or two incidents come up mid season that needed to be addressed immediately. The commissioner reached out to everyone about his plan of action and allowed for a vote and questions/responses before moving forward. There is a “majority rule” precedent already in place in case not everyone responds in time.
Otherwise any new rules or ideas wait until offseason for a proper explanation and full vote. He would never just tell us that “it’s not as bad as you think because I made him pay his dues early.” That move is as shady as the two teams colluding or possibly colluding.

Okay so if it was your League aside from the Comish possibly not providing an honest answer the trade goes through and you would be allowed to vote on finetuning the paying of dues in regards to trades at the end of the Season
Dismattle

We already have plenty of posts about discussion involving trades being approved Unless someone hopes to reinvent the wheel? At least in said League, the only possible requirement for "funny" trades may be the full payment of dues Personally could think of much worse things for the health of a League ie. Being told we will have a discussion and vote next yr But then again I don't exactly question trades too much myself
If it were a horribly lopsided deal that points to collusion, then it would be handled in our league immediately with involvement from the majority of the league in the least.
If it’s something like, “hey we should have IR designation”, then it gets shelved until the offseason.
We are fortunate that there is little to zero questionable behavior in our league. Probably because we are all in our 40’s now and this is secondary to most everything in life.
Hope you guys get the answers you are looking for.

Yeah I suspect the key word could be the center of the dilemma Quite possibly Star is the only one who really questions the trade Personally, I suspect if only one person were to question a trade that I approved IF I were a Comish then my response might be that the guys paid their dues Possibly adding if it is bad as you suspect that maybe we might have to see about making some changes in who actually plays in MY League

In our league it is standard practice; you can't trade a future pick if you haven't paid for that pick/draft. It makes sense or you leave yourself opene to guys who will trade future assets to try and win this year and then just quit the leauge after trashing a team's future.

Yeah, I like that idea. Did you all vote to include it, or was it always a part of the league's rules/operating procedures?
It's not ok. Please don't post league specific questions here. That's not the "wider pull" we want here.
