[USML Announce] A New Question?

[Blocker, Mark B.]

I’d be in favor of one of two rules:

1.  If teams are contiguous at any point during the week (based on a.m. standings), a trade is allowed.  That is easy to administer.

2.  Abolish contiguous trading.  It never struck me as fair that team behind the leader can load up, but the leader is effectively stuck in neutral.  I won’t pretend there is any support for this; just a good opportunity to mention it.

That can be a risk assumed by the trading partners.  Nothing's stopping anybody from processing immediately upon agreement.

But things could move between agreement and processing.  Sometimes announcement is delayed.

I think the clearest application would be standings as of the time the trade is officially processed via onroto.  That will be whatever it is.

Yeah right.  On the other hand, don't rule out a massive Riptorns MRH deal.

One of these days we should think through that ambiguity, ideally before it becomes a point of contention.

I think it's been ambiguous since we went to daily reporting.  But don't be so coy.  Winick is totally dumping to you, isn't he?

Have we ever discussed how to interpret the rule that says during this part of the year teams can only trade with teams contiguous or tied in the standings?  Does that mean standings as of the start of a reporting period?  Start of a day?  Any moment in time?  With the web site live standings feature, we can see teams bouncing around minute by minute.

I don't have any trades in the pipeline, so I'm not asking this with any hidden agenda. I am really curious about how to think of this issue.  What do you think?
