Issue 3 In response to several calls for adjustments to our after deadline trade and waiver process, we are suggesting the following. Please vote aye or nay.
This is the rule from BBFL. We are suggesting changing the red to the blue.
They make a trade as we have always done and the trade is put up for vote on the board via the anonymous poll option at create-a-forum BBFL site. Owners will be alerted that a vote is needed via mass email. Each owner will have one vote; the voting is anonymous; failure to secure 9 votes vetoes the trade after 48 hours. If the trade fails, the players involved cannot be traded again or placed on waivers. (See below.) Those players may be dropped into the pool, as during the regular season, should the need arise. (A minor leaguer is brought up, a player is taken from the pool, owner has too many players due to an approved trade, etc.)
2. They may post on the board a player they are placing through "waivers" along with their expected and required return. In 48 hours, any owners who have met or exceeded that required return are awarded the player. In case of several offers, the owner lowest in the standings at the time of the waiver is awarded the player. If no offers are made, the player is withdrawn and cannot be offered again on waivers or in any trade. (In short, be realistic with expectations.)
Please note that the regular waiver wire that applies to players new to the pool does not apply to this process.

1. They make a trade as we have always done and the trade is put up for vote on the board Owners will be alerted that a vote is needed via mass email. Each owner will have one vote; not voting counts as a yes vote, therefor only “protests” or “no’s” need to be made. If only 7 no votes are recorded, the trade passes.

In 48 hours, any owners who have met or exceeded that required return are awarded the player. In case of several offers, the owner lowest in the standings at the time of the waiver is awarded the player. If no offers are made, the player is withdrawn but can be waived up to 3 times or traded.
