A Trade Period?

[PowerBug]

Now, this is by no means a certainty to happen, this is just a discussion thread as a coach brought up the idea of trading to me.


A few dates to keep in mind when reading:
The Finals for the One Day Cup (D6s Cup) ends on the 21st October, the first round of Shield matches starts on the 27th October.
The 5th Round of the Shield ends on the 9th December, the first Round of the T20 Trophy begins on the 17th December.

Option 1:
We could have 5 days (22nd-26th) where we could trade. Teams would be allowed say 4 list changes in and 4 list changes out, plus the oppotunity to change their bank balance by up to $100,000 either way. Admin will be in charge of deciding whether trades pass or not, decision is final.

Option 2:
We could open up a trade period now, and run it for 14 days. Again, teams can have up to 4 changes in and 4 changes out, and a bank balance change up to $100,000 either way. However, changes will not be made permanent until AFTER the One Day Cup finishes, so teams will continue to play for their old clubs until the end of the One Day Cup, then transfer ready for the First Class Shield to begin on the 27th. This will be a lot more difficult for me to manage as well.

Option 3:
Similar to Option 1 except it will occur after 5 rounds of the Shield and before the T20 Cup.

Option 4:
Similar to Option 2 in that it will open whilst Rounds 4 and 5 of the Shield are ongoing, and end sometime before the T20 Trophy starts

Option 5: We have no trade period and wait until next season

Option 6: Whatever you come up with.



One final point: For a trade period of any kind to go ahead, all 8 franchise owners (or 1 of the co-owners) must post in this thread stating what they like and why (can be brief). So if 7 franchises like one option, but the 8th person can't be bothered posting, no trade period. And seeing as Option 2 would see us start in about a week, that's how long everyone has got.

YESSSSSS.

EVERYONE PLEASE SAY YES!

Trading is definitely the best part of XVs, and it could well be the best part of D6s too.

I think option 2 is the best option. Not saying I would use it, but it would be nice to have the option of trades

Tbh, I think we should just not trade until before next season, but I'd be happy to go with option 2. I don't think it would be that hard to manage.

I'm not fussed, I wouldn't see myself being particularly active in a trade period until next season in any case but the option is always nice.

We didn't hear from two managers, and it's been a week. So this won't be going ahead until before next season now. I feel as if having one after the Big Bash won't be wildly popular, so I won't both opening discussions for that at all.
