Waiver Trade Eligibility
#1
For many years we never had any rules regarding playoff eligibility for waivers. It's only been in the past few seasons that we've installed these rules. The reason we opted to remove them is because very few waiver trades happen in September, it's one more thing for the admins to look over, and players still have to pass through waivers. It seems as if we're only making it that low 80s pickups would not be eligible for the playoffs and it's probably not worth the hassle.

However, it seems a few want the rule to remain, so it'll go up as a poll to see which set of waiver rules we use.

A. Unless a player is rated 90, they are eligible for post-season play if acquired in September.

B. Players acquired after September 1 are not eligible for post-season play.

No players of importance are ever acquired in September and I guess we could use an honor system in that regards but it is pretty hard to keep track of from an admin perspective.

I voted C because I dont completley agree with either a or b. I think any player should be eligable ragardless if they are a 90 or not. Its not like teams are going ot tarde away a 90 for nothing. And if you see teams trading away a 90 to a contender and then just trade back for him in the offseason you fine the teams in question for collusion.

I voted C because I don't see it being a major issue no matter what the rule is. The positive about the change is that since mogul doesn't allow a true 40 man roster, teams who experience a major injury have the option of a trade to help them field a competent team. I could see people abusing it, but if the vast majority can use this without an issue, I don't see any reason to stop them on account of a few people. We'll just deal with those few people then and let the rest of the league, which is acting with integrity, continue.
