Trade Committee
1.) The Trade Committee shall review trades negotiated by the members of Wild Card Baseball II.
2.) All members of the Trade Committee shall be appointed by the Commissioner(s).
3.) There shall always be a minimum of at least 5 members, but there can be more appointed at the discretion of the Commissioner(s).
4.) The Commissioner(s) may be a member of the Trade Committee, but membership is not required.
5.) A Trade Committee member may be replaced if there is a continued measure of inactivity, acts of inappropriate behavior, or if there is a resignation.
Trade Approval/Veto Process
1.) There is no requirement for a 100% vote.
2.) There will be a 48 hour window for each trade. The 48 hours will begin once each participating GM has posted a rationale for the trade.
3.) All Trades must go through the 48 hour time period, regardless of when they are approved.
A.) During the off-season, at the end of the 48 hour period, the trade will be processed as soon possible by league moderators;
B.) During the season, at the end of the 48 hour time period, the trade will be processed by the league moderators at 12:01 am EST of the next available day. Example: Trade is posted on Monday and the 48 hour period ends on Wednesday, the trade is then processed at 12:01 am EST on Thursday.
4.) Each trade must receive a majority approvals.
5.) If a trade receives two vetoes prior to receiving any approvals, the trade is invalid. A veto must be accompanied by an explanation.
6.) If the 48 hour time period passes, the trade will be ruled valid if it receives any approvals. This will be viewed as a process of a simple majority (2 approvals vs. 1 veto), since two vetoes would automatically stop a trade.
