Once all of the things listed above have been considered and agreed upon for a particular trade, Then representatives of each team participate in a conference call during which the terms of each player's will agree. Each team must also certify that there are no side deals or additional agreements, either between the teams or with any player, that were not disclosed in the trade or on the trade call. If a player(s) refuse a trade, they can chose to be waived and that will automatically send them to the free agent pool. Once they have entered the free agent pool, they will have a week to be picked up by any team. If they are not picked up, that player(s) will be assigned to a team. Assuming that this all goes smoothly, the league will post the trade on the website.

5 Free Agent We will try and have a free agent pool. This pool will consist of players that registered late or players who disagreed on a trade and chose to be waived. If a player is picked up from the free agent pool, they will still have to submit all required documents and depending on where we are in the season the cost will be pro-rated. Free agents cannot be picked up after the fourth game, unless a team has suffered an injured player and the rules still apply for injured player(s). NEW RULE - when a free agent enters the league, the team that would have been next in the draft, will get the first opportunity to add the free agent. (Example) If we have 9 people that were drafted and team 4 made the final selection when the 10 player wants to join the league team 5 will get the first chance to say yes or no!
