We request players not found on fantrax. Sometimes without them signing. When they add a player its for every league, not just ours. So if a player exists on fantrax in any league, he will also exist in ours. Until he does he isnt eligible for bidding. If you win the bid what are we supposed to do? Place a note?? We cannot operate that way and be the league we are visioned to be.
You cant watch tv and they say "babe ruth signed a contract today with the Yankees" and you run to the site and post babe ruth. If on fantrax he doesnt exist then he isnt eligible to be "Fantraxed".
If it isnt on fantrax then it cannot be traded. If you arent looking at fantrax then we are opening up a lot of things that cause confusion. When we draft.. those players arent owned and was drafted.
