Our league has a weekly deadline of just before the 1st game of the week...whether it's on a Thursday or Sunday.
It's the only fair and sensible option, imo.

so you only have two days to trade every week now?

It never even crossed my mind to do it any other way but a majority of league members disagree.

2 and a half I'd say.

does anyone know how this works on mfl in the following two scenarios?
1. after thursday game theres a trade involving two plays that didnt play in the thursday game
2. after thursday gane thers a trade involvimg one player who played in the thursday game and one player who hasnt played.
do the guys go into the lineup immediately? what abput the guy who played already. what happens to him?

As long as the trade contains players that haven't played yet, I don't have a problem with trades after the 1st Thursday game.

This is how we do i in all my leagues. 2.5 day window for THNF players normal for all others.

We allow trades through the entire week. I don't understand why you would cut it off at kickoff of first game.

It's always been done that way. I've tried to keep things pretty consistent over the last 10+ years.

If you don't have a veto process (which you shouldn't) and don't have a waiting period (which you shouldn't) it makes it much easier to allow trades throughout the week. I see so many threads here in the Shark Pool asking "How do you get people to trade?!?" and the answer is pretty simple when you look at threads like this and some of the silly rules/locks people have in effect.

Even on Sundays?

If you do allow trading on Fri and Sat after the Thursday game, what happens if someone offers a trade on Saturday for a player that already played on Thursday? I would assume that player is ineligible to be traded until next Tuesday? I would hope the site prevents you from even offering the trade at all, but my guess is the trade could not be accepted until Tuesday. CBS league for what it's worth. Curious if MFL has more options/settings for this than CBS does.

You can trade players in our league at any time. If an involved player has already played that week, then the points for that week stay with the original owners of the players. Or to put it another way, the players switch teams after that week's games.
I can't see any reason to restrict trades based on the first game. It solves nothing and interferes with trading.

I believe the biggest protection here is for the following scenario:Team 1 offers Player A to Team 2 for Player B. He sends the trade on Saturday. Team 2 let's the trade sit over night. Player B gets hurt a minute into the 1:00 games and Team 2 accepts the trade before Team 1 has a chance to retract it.I know the response might be "Well Team 1 shouldn't have let the trade sit then," but why not just close off trading during the games rather than invite potential problems? Any trade that is going to be completed can be done before the 1:00 games or after. There's no urgent need to trade immediately during a game.

That same exact scenario can happen 24/7/365. I accept the trade when he gets arrested/crashes his motorcycle/breaks his leg in practice/gets suspended/gets benched for disciplinary reasons/etc. Caveat emptor.
Why did he not have a chance to retract it? I'm missing that part of the story.

In general, though, I think most would agree injury risk is greater in game than off field.That same exact scenario can happen 24/7/365.
