Re: USFL/WFL Trade Procedure

We want to be friendly to new coaches and protect them from unscrupulous coaches who would take advantage of them. With that in mind, the USFL/WFL has put in place a committee to review trades that bear scrutiny. The commissioner does have the capability of pushing the "veto" button for any trade. Trades that involve high draft picks, and experienced coaches/inexperienced coaches, will bear particular scrutiny.

The committee will review only trades which the commissioner or another coach finds questionable. To send the trade to the committee for review, a coach must reply to the original trade post, stating the reason he is requesting a review. This review should be requested within 24 hours of the trade being posted.

Trades involving members of the committee will be approved/disapproved by alternate members of the committee. Committee members are listed in the "USFL Committees" pinned post. A simple majority of those voting will finalize the decision.

Prior to the 1983 season, the USFL/WFL coaches voted to "turn off" the trade meter.

This means a coach can make a trade even if MFN's (broken) trade meter says the values don't match up. This change was made to allow rebuilding teams to trade away aging veterans with high ratings without having to ask for multiple first-round picks in return.

The trade committee is in place to veto a deal if things get too wonky.

If no one steps up, I have no problem being the third person.
