I'm happy for it to be cancelled out of good will, but accepting trades by accident isnt cause for commish to cancel it.

it was an honest mistake that I made a mistake and got on here straight away, first time its happened to me. Fact Gordon is currently banned plays its part in it being a terrible trade

those valuations take into account for him being banned. As I said I'm happy to cancel the trade but I completely disagree with it being a terrible trade from both perspectives.

Gordan won't play till week 9? Anyway had no intention to accept so appreciate if it was cancelled.

I see on guys who tried tread with me is commiissoner so hopefully longford patriots who is also in charge sees my error to be corrected.

Benimar · 28-09-2014 12:33pm

I see this trade went through. Bad form in my view, it's a one sided trade when one player is suspended for the next 7 games. If it was an accident, these trades have traditionally been cancelled.

On a related point, how many vetoes does it take to block a trade. I voted against it so was wondering how many no votes were neeðed.

Have they? I have never cancelled a trade that was accepted by accident but I don't remember a case in the boards leagues were it has happened before either.

In fact most leagues Im in if you accept a trade its tough sh1t if you change your mind or claim by accident after. It sounds harsh but there is 2 buttons for a reason. Even on an app its hard to press the wrong one.

Over half I think its 9.

Personally I don't think the Commish should decide this. It should be put to vote with the other members. But that would mean both parties involved not play the newly acquired players as then its unfair to those who play them this week if they lose because of said players and then that team loses those players in the reverse after the games today.

fact 9 people havn't even noticed thre trade never mind vetoed it, the other person in the trade is a GM which means he should know better than this in my view

I wouldnt blame the GM in this case, he didnt press accept. All of the leagues i am in trades accepted are final but i have seen some reversed by agreement of both parties involved in the trade. There is no rule for this situation but if both parties agree to reverse it then problem solved. If not then put it to a vote in the league to see if they object to it

What does it matter that the commish was the other party involved. He like all of us is a player as well and if someone accepts a trade who are they to say no.

The commish is Longford Patriots and he says it wasn't him who traded with you.

niall1811 · 28-09-2014 6:53pm

Sorry it took so long to get on, lets get this cleared up.

First of all i was not the other party involved in the trade so get that right to start with.
Second, if you wanted me to cancel the trade you should have pm'd me and told me what was going on, i seen you said on here you did but check your sent items as there's nothing in my inbox from you.
Third there is a clear option of accept or decline on a trade so i dont understand how it was accepted by mistake.

If you want me to reverse the trade it leads into dodgy territory, as TO said if we do it once then every person who feels they got ripped off in a trade will ask the same thing. The only way i'll reverse it is if over half the league agree to it, majority rules so if 9 of the managers come on and say they dont mind it being reversed i'll have to consider it. And even at that i'll have to get in touch with the other gm's first anyway.

I can't see the league settings but 1 might just be a gm the commish can add a gm to help with settings but the main commish is Niall1811 as per the start of the season.

Yes, it definitely happened. Could have been Division 4 two seasons ago. I remember because I was in the league at the time. It was accepted as a genuine error (by both parties if I remember it correctly).

Chardee MacDennis · 29-09-2014 12:44pm

i was gm of D3 two seasons ago if thats where the confusion is coming from.

I had no ability to cancel the trade as far as i know.

manafana hasn't even offered to reverse the trade, I've now been me two stupid trades in the past 24 hours but not the trade reversal.

Difference in your example is both parties made the error and wanted the reverse. As I said if both parties agree then something can be done if not there is nothing anyone can do really accept ask nicely or put it to a vote with all members. But you will find very few leagues around the world willing to entertain a reverse from a mistake.

manafana · 30-09-2014 9:27am

trade has been offered as reversed, I just want know why neither the trading team or gm replied to emails i sent on nfl.com? I clearly sent email to all owners to tell them this was an error.

Perhaps the guidelines for GMs need to be set out 9 is a lot to get a trade vetoed considering most people arn't really active. Happy to trade again any time and my mistake won't be repeated

think this is where your wrong, why not reverse a mistake if it is immediately made known, as gm in two leagues would likely reverse a trade with notice made to owners, within hours of it happening, otherwise yes though luck

you've some cheek actually playing Rainey considering all your moaning...

Too much hassle. Just don't reverse trades. If both parties agree they can just trade back again.

HigginsJ · 30-09-2014 8:04pm

Anyone interested in trading for Shady. I have had horrible luck with 1st round RB's these last 2 years.

Would be looking to get a RB in return

wawaman · 14-10-2014 9:16am

Anyone interested in Big Ben? Or CJ Spiller?

fatgav · 22-10-2014 2:21pm

Anyone looking for WR help? I'm hoping for RB in return.

slowharry · 03-11-2014 5:59pm

Well the chat has been pretty minimal to no existence in div 3 so far. I'm above 500 for the first time this year with a big thanks to Gronk. The decision to take him early in the 2nd round with AJ Green on the board is starting to look real good now. Been lucky enough with injuries so far with only Foles going down injured so I'm moving onto Smith as QB which isn't much of downgrade if any this year.

padraig_f · 03-11-2014 6:46pm

Panda Bears

Got hammered my first week, been on a 7-game winning streak since then

Had a bad week this week, Philip Rivers finished with a negative score, but might hang on for an 8th straight win, need TY Hilton to outperform Reuben Randle tonight.

Successes:
- Philip Rivers, 6th ranked QB (was 4th I think before yesterday)
- Antonio Gates, 2nd ranked TE (a bit tied to Rivers' success)
- TY Hilton, currently 10th ranked WR, with 10 points tonight, would move to around 5th.

Failures:
- My 1st and 2nd round picks!
- Montee Ball (1st round). He was awful, bit of a blessing when he got injured, and I was able to pick up his handcuff Ronnie Hillman.
- Brandon Marshall (2nd round). Bears offense has struggled, had an injury, and hasn't been great either since he recovered from the injury.

Bit unusual to be doing well having missed on the 1st and 2nd round picks, but I think a lot of the first round picks haven't done well this year.

matthew8 · 03-11-2014 7:01pm

About to go to 7/2 but Foster's injury is very worrying.

matthew8 · 18-11-2014 6:49pm

So... 2 weeks to go so let's see how the playoffs are shaping up. First up it's Panda Bears (padraig f) who are guaranteed a division win and very likely first round bye and automatic promotion bound at 9-2.

Then we have Lambmuncher (Hanners) who have also secured the division at 7-4 but the first round bye looks unlikely with Team Better Than Awesome (Hazys) a game ahead at 8-3 and holding the tiebreaker. Team Better Than Awesome's lineup looks very good too, though the schedule has been favourable (Lambmuncher's opponents have scored 50% more), this lineup is bad news for Sandyford Sharks (matthew8), who are level with TBTA on wins but behind on the H2H tiebreaker, and also have a tougher schedule to finish. TBTA look set for the bye and automatic promotion, for the Sharks it's as likely that they'll miss out on the playoffs altogether. Sitting behind these 2 teams are Zamunda Zebras (slowharry) at 6-5, but holding the tiebreaker over Sharks if Sharks lose their last 2 and Zebras win their last 2.

These wild card spaces are heavily dependent on what happens in Division 1, with 3 teams locked at 7-4, Believe in Eli (HigginsJ), Bunch of Goons (Benimar) and Pitches Be Crazy (fatgav). Pitches holds the tiebreaker over Bunch of Goons, Believe in Eli holds the tiebreaker over Pitches and Bunch of Goons, leaving the pecking order in any ties at Believe in Eli>Pitches Be Crazy>Bunch of Goons. Pitches Be Crazy as a very tough couple of games with TBTA and Lambmuncher, but so does Believe in Eli, with Sandyford Sharks and Zamunda Zebras. Bunch of Goons gets to play the low scoring Witty Tanks before Sandyford Sharks. You have to go with the team with the tiebreaker, Believe in Eli, for the division.

The wildcard battle is between Sandyford Sharks, Zamunda Zebras, Pitches Be Crazy, Believe in Eli and Bunch of Goons. Sandyford Sharks holds the tiebreaker over Pitches Be Crazy, and Zamunda Zebras hold it over Sandyford Sharks. If Sharks are to be in a tie that will mean losing the last 2 games, so Bunch of Goons and Believe in Eli will hold the tiebreaker over them. The tiebreakers between the other 3 teams have been mentioned, and Zamunda Zebras hold the tiebreaker over Pitches Be Crazy, and will hold the tiebreaker over Believe in Eli if they can get 2 wins to put them into a tiebreaker. Despite apparently limping to the finishing line, Sandyford Sharks record has to see them fancied for the first wildcard. After that, the second placed team in Division 1, maybe Pitches Be Crazy. So much hinges on the Sharks 2 games with Believe in Eli and Bunch of Goons to finish the season.

Possible playoff picture:
First round Bye: Team Better Than Awesome, Panda Bears
Wildcard games: Believe in Eli vs. Sandyford Sharks, Lambmuncher vs. Pitches Be Crazy.

Benny Cake · 23-11-2014 8:54am

My Piebalds Broke 100 points for the first time last week and what happened? Met the only team in the league capable of outscoring me!!!

Sums up a disastrous season tbh, note to self: Never, ever, draft Doug Martin again....

matthew8 · 25-11-2014 6:18pm

Last week now and Panda Bears and Team Better Than Awesome penciled in for automatic promotion and a first round bye, Lambmuncher also guaranteed playoffs. Sandyford Sharks are left requiring either a win of their own against Bunch of Goons or Believe in Eli to beat Zamunda Zebras. Bunch of Goons and Believe in Eli can also guarantee playoffs with a win. The potential tie between Bunch of Goons, Believe in Eli and Pitches Be Crazy makes the rest a grey area.

How many get relegated from the division?

I've just had a horrible season which started when I missed the draft. It was an uphill struggle from there.. compunded by the fact my NFL app says my team changes are saved and then I log in on Sunday to find they're not at all.

D3PO · 01-12-2014 5:01pm

4 get relegated

padraig_f · 01-12-2014 5:24pm

Division 2 here I come

Delighted to get the promotion, if I'm honest, I probably care more about promotion than winning the league, so happy to get it wrapped up before the playoffs.

Bit of luck in there, I currently have the top record, but looking at the table, I see 5 teams have more points scored than me.

Same here :cool: Got promoted each year since I started in Division 5.

I had a talk with my players and gave them a couple of extra days off because we have the 1st round bye. Their real life Head Coaches may not be happy with it but they have their priorities and only one goal "Get that Boards Fantasy Football Division 3 Title" after that they can concentrate on their day jobs, Super Bowls, etc.

Benimar · 08-12-2014 11:01am

Promoted Baby

Delighted to have won this week. It's the worst game to lose as, not only are you out of the playoffs, but you miss out on promotion too. Thankfully, I was always in a comfortable position so didn't have to worry (panic!) too much about it.

Good Monday night sweat for the last promotion spot:

Zebras (Julio Jones) vs. Lambmuncher (Jordy Nelson, Packers D).

Zebras projected to win by 3.

slowharry · 18-12-2014 7:31pm

So NFL.com ranked my draft as a C+ and projected a finish of 16th with a 3-10 record. The Zebras then started 0-2 and it looked like a bleak season but a Wk 3 victory sparked the Zebras and started our journey to the Championship Game. the Zebras have already got revenge for our week 1 loss to the Lambmunchers in playoffs can we do the same against team better than Awesome in the big game.

Team MVP - Gronk with Julio Jones a close 2nd
Best Pick up - Forsett
LVP - didn't do too badly as my first 5 picks have been relatively healthy and productive so hard to pick an LVP but Folks as QB was pretty poor even before his injury

Lesson Learnt for next year - there are not enough good QBs for a 16 team league

slowharry · 23-12-2014 11:07am

congratulations to Team Better than Awesome well deserved champs

He just re-activated Div 4 from last year and re-named it. Makes sense as majority are the same people
