Trade Protection Protocol
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2026 7:39 pm
In an effort to protect unsuspecting coaches from being taken advantage of by other coaches, I propose the following Trade Protection Protocol:
1 - All trades involving a "new" coach, defined as a coach with less than 2 seasons of experience, must have all trades approved by an 19 - 0 league-wide vote of all coaches and the league manager. Coaches will have to submit their vote to approve or decline the trades inside the trade proposal posting on the forum. Coaches will be given 72 hours to approve or decline the trade. If a full 19-0 vote isn't reached in 72 hours, the trade will be automatically declined.
2 - Any trade proposal involving a coach with a career record under .500 and a coach with a career record over .500 will follow the same above protocol. Coaches with a Super Bowl win, even with a career record under .500, are exempt from the protection protocol unless they request to be included.
This will protect new coaches as well as coaches who continue to trade away high draft picks to perennial playoff teams.
