The “trade deadline” setting determines if the league uses a deadline for trading players between teams. This option is offered to prevent teams from sandbagging their team at the end of the season by trading blue-chip players for average players.

Once the date of the trade deadline arrives, trading will be disabled.

NOTE: Trades that are accepted before the trade deadline but are scheduled to process after the deadline will still process normally.

All Standard Leagues use the following trade deadline:

• The trade deadline is only for trade transactions between teams.
• Owners are still free to add and drop players via free agency and waivers throughout the entire season.
