Trevor's post is well thought out and has definitely changed my outlook on spot trading.
I do however think that an appointed committee is a bit overboard for our purposes, and likely too clunky to work smoothly.
I think a pretty fair compromise is that going forward trades be restricted in tiers. Meaning if team A gets a better team one for regional 1, Team B gets a better team one for regional B. I'm no no fan of the potential abuse of strong teams making same delta trades but getting better first pick slots. The game then becomes who can befriend the weak teams the best and convince them they are getting a fair deal. Restricting trades from #1-#9, #10-#18, and #19-#27 both eliminates the need for any committee/supervision, doesn't screw anyone over, and still allows for some added (fair) depth to FF. both teams must receive a draft spot within the same grouping of draft spots.
These can be submitted like QD says via Google sheet. (Preferably google forms so it automatically timestamps the requests) 24 hours seems like a good time line for deadlines for trades.
Secondly TBC has been in contact with RFA and has begun to attempt to recreate the automated scorer. (it was deleted
) We will be giving progress updates as we continue work on it.
