Ok...in my dynasty league, me and 101mitch made a trade...
When Gronk went down a few weeks ago, I went straight to mitch to trade for Gonzo since he was essentially out of the playoffs and I needed a new TE...and Gonzo is retiring. Anyway, I had the playoffs locked up, so I was gonna try to gut it out the rest of the way with Marty B and Dwayne Allen to see if I could sneak the bye and Gronk could get healthy before I needed to trade for Gonzo...but I didn't get the bye and we traded. But now, the commish says there is a trade deadline. No trading in the playoffs. There was nothing about a trade deadline in the bylaws. It was never mentioned in the league. But we were supposed to assume there was a deadline. So now, our trade got reversed. If we'd known there was a deadline, we would've done the trade before the deadline. There was never anything said about a trade deadline, and like I said it didn't say in the bylaws that there was a deadline...so I had no reason to rush. But now that we traded, commish says no playoff trading and it gets reversed...
What do you guys think? Since the 2 teams involved had NO KNOWLEDGE of any deadline and it was never established, the trade should go through right? (Again, if we'd known there was a deadline, we would've traded before it)

Well if there was a trade deadline set in place before the trade shouldn't go through.. however there should be notice of the deadline as it came up..

There was no deadline set in the bylaws. It was never mentioned in the league.

Based on what I'm hearing and this is only side of the story, the trade should go through. Isn't there settings in the league that have an option for trade deadline, either setting that date or setting it for no trade deadline? If yes, then the system would have never allowed the trade to happen if a date had existed. Which FF system are you using? (nfl.com, espn, yahoo, etc....)

This league is on myfantasyleague.com If it lets you set a trade deadline, then it was never set. Because our trade went through. And then after we traded the commish reversed the trade because the trade deadline was the playoffs...but it never said anything about a trade deadline in the bylaws..and was never mentioned before (I know I've said this a few times already..). So we had no knowledge of any kind of deadline, but our trade got reversed...still kinda pissed about it..need gonzo for a better chance to win...but the commish is someone on this forum, so maybe he'll change his mind

And if it's not in the bylaws then that plays a part in it also. Trade should go through. I hope the LM responds in the thread.

He could have, he just thought everyone would know of this "common practice"
