Article VII - Trades
For a trade to be granted in a given week, it must be accepted THROUGH OUR HOSTING SERVICE no later than 24 hours before gametime. This gives all teams 24 hours to review the trade before the games begin (whether on Thursday, Saturday on Sunday). Any trades that are submitted through the website within 24 hours of gametime will be voided and will have to be re-submitted and accepted after the MNF game to be reconsidered. Players who have already played on a given week cannot be traded until the following week.
Once accepted through the hosting service, a trade cannot be withdrawn by one party due to player injury, suspension, or any other unforeseen circumstance. The only way a trade can be voided is if it is withdrawn by both parties before the trade is granted.
During the 24 hour trade acceptance period, all owners (except those involved in the trade) will be given the opportunity to veto the trade. However, those owners who choose to veto the trade must make a valid case to the commissioner for why the trade should not be granted.
There are only 2 valid reasons which a trade can be vetoed:
Article IV - New Rule Creation
When a league dispute arises which has not been addressed in the league constitution, a discussion will ensue on possible resolutions. Following the discussion period, the commissioner will create an online poll so that owners can vote on an appropriate course of action. The result of the poll will apply immediately and the resulting ruling will be appended to the existing constitution for future reference.
All poll outcomes will be determined based on a plurality and in the case of a tie the commissioner will use his infinite wisdom to cast the deciding vote. When possible polls will run for 3 days unless it is closer to game day, in which case the voting time will be shortened accordingly.
Article X- Roster Oversights
If an owner has a roster slot open (either due to bye week or simple oversight), but has a backup player (not on bye, or OUT) available on their bench, then the Commissioner must insert the available player in the open roster slot. If two eligible bench players exist then the player with the highest average projected point output for that week should be inserted
The commissioner will not make a substitution for a player who is OUT, regardless of when they were declared out, UNLESS the roster is illegal, in which case substitutions must be made. Team owners are allowed to have one open roster slot on their team during any given week, assuming that they make it known to the league that they are purposefully leaving that roster spot open. If one roster slot is open then the team owner will receive 0 points for that single position.
No team owner may have more than one open slot on their roster during a given week. If more than one position is left open on a roster, and there are no viable substitutes to fill in for those players, then the owners team will receive 0 pts. for the entire week and a loss.

There are only 2 valid reasons which a trade can be vetoed:

- If both teams aren't improved by the trade.
