Commissioner Trade Review Can You Still Protest Yahoo Fantasy

Yahoo fantasy football BS.. how should I handle this?

So I'm pretty pissed off right now. I'm in a Yahoo pro league ($twenty buy in, public league). I have had some bad lucky/injuries early in the season and started 0-four. Obviously I cannot beget anymore losses, so I decided it was time to make a motion. I posted on the bulletin lath that I am trading Arian Foster to the highest applicant. I am looking for WR/RB Depth to become my team back in the game.

I received offers from nearly every squad. Subsequently a few days of negotiating, Wed night I finally agreed to a deal with another team.

I gave up Arian Foster, Jeremy Maclin and Jacquizz Rodgers. He gave me Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Alfred Morris.

Plain this bargain helps me a great deal. Percy tin can replace Maclin in my starting lineup. And I get two RB'due south for i. The nice thing though is that the other possessor benefited equally well. He lost AP, his only starter and gave up Alfred/Percy who were both borderline starters for him. His team is 0-4 and quite loaded. I think he was trying to bulk upwardly for the playoffs while selling off some of his depth.

The trade was apparently protested past someone in the league and went to Yahoo review.

According to Yahoo's site about pro leagues

If a manager feels that the bargain is unfair, he/she tin lodge an official protest with the Fantasy Sports League Function. Every protest (which must contain a description of why the protesting director feels the trade should be vetoed.) will be reviewed by members of the Yahoo! Sports staff within the review menses.
It is not the purpose of the League Function to prevent coaches from making unwise trades, but rather to but ensure that all coaches in a league are competing on a level and fair playing field. All decisions on trade protests are concluding. Explanations about why specific trades were canonical or rejected are not provided.

Soo... WHAT THE FUCK. Why was my merchandise veto'd then?!?!? I'm fucking pissed. Not just did the trade not get veto'd until this morn (when the trade was made on Wednesday afternoon) only at present its to late to make any other trades and I'm stuck starting a bye week running back since I didn't go my two RB's for 1 deal done.

It'due south only a $20 league, so its not the money that I'm concerned about, but more the chief of information technology. I'grand obviously never going to be playign some other Yahoo league again, free or paid. I have emailed Yahoo regarding the situation, merely I'm not expecting a resolution. Hell, I'll be lucky to fifty-fifty get an caption.

I likewise program on disputing the league charges with my bank. In addition, if there isn't a satisfactory resolution within a week, I will be dropping all of my players and doing everything in my ability to disrupt the league.

The concluding function I would not do if it weren't for two league members being consummate dicks about this situation. They are talking all kinds of shit like "welcome to the big leagues" etc...

I know I'g not out of my mind. This trade isn't ridiculously unfair one style or the other so I can't figure out for the life of me why they would veto information technology. What else tin can I really do at this point though?

If the merchandise got voted downwardly by the league then at that place is not much you tin can exercise about it. You tin bring it up to the commissioner but you won't be able to just say "I would accept picked up this gratuitous agent" after the fact. The only modify you can actually argue is that you lot would have started someone on the bench over one of your bye calendar week running backs if you have one but you need to make that decision right now and not later on the scoring has begun.

Metal, thing is there isn't a commissioner. It is Yahoo that reviews the trades. Past their own rules they should non have veto'd the trade, yet they did.

That's why I was unremarkably the commissioner.... a lot of people take no common sense. You're hosed, yahoo will respond with a cookie cutter reply, and any endeavor to disrupt the league makes you look like the dbag in their optics.

Nope. Read the original post. Yahoo'southward trade review policy is in quotations.

That'due south what I figured, but to exist honest I don't intendance if I look like a dbag. I want vengeance one way or another. I'k not just going to sit here and tolerate information technology. I'm going to exercise something.

And then that really sucks. Yeah the trade was well-nigh def a plus for you but I don't see annihilation outrageous or whatever sort of "bunco" nigh the trade.

You can bring information technology up to Yahoo but who knows what the response will be if any. I would not play in a public league for money again bro.

Reason number 38 why I gave upwards fantasy football after a number of years of playoff/championship play.

The frustrations just started to outweigh the pleasance.

Yahoo probably didn't wait at information technology, they probably applied an algorithm based on get-go of year value. Since Peterson was hurt and Harvin wasn't expected to do much they had depression perceived value. To their calculator it looks like you're dumping the #1 overall player for a couple of guys with value in the 100s.

There should be the ability to veto trades, but only for obvious BS trades, where one guy is giving up and dumping or bunco.

Yahoo... there's your first trouble. Go with ESPN next year, choose a commissioner, profit. I as well prefer ESPN's layout and mobile app besides.

Fantasy football is serious business. Bank check OP if you don't believe me. He's ready to kill somebody over $twenty and he'south nowhere fifty-fifty nearly the lead.

I played a season of fantasy football on Yahoo a few years ago and a I did a few seasons of fantasy baseball there as well. I didn't even know that Yahoo could veto trades. I thought it was all up to the commissioner to requite the final approval/rejection. Possibly for completely public leagues it's different.
