Trade Season! It is on. Now is the time to wheel, deal and screw over your ORFFL counterparts, all the while telling them that the pitter-patter they feel on their back is just the rain of a Melbourne winter. Over the break, I'll supply the important dates and a refresh of the rules, given some people's natural disinclination to actually go and look them up. You know who you are.

DATES OF IMPORTANCE
<ul>
<li>The ORFFL Midseason Trade period begins now until the conclusion of the last match in R12.</li>
<li>All ORFFL delistments must be made prior to 9pm AEST Monday 18th June. To delist a player(s), all you need to do is PM prior to this date and time with a list and I'll take care of the rest (I'll be PMing walesy my own list).</li>
<li>The ORFFL Midseason draft will begin at 9pm AEST Tuesday 19th June. There'll be a post on the main page. Hopefully we can get everyone on board on that night, but if not it will be the standard 24-hour time limit to take your pick. Let me know if you can't make it on here that night, there is wiggle room at this stage.</li>
</ul>
TRADE RULES
<ul>
<li>You can trade picks (to the mid-season draft and the pre-2013 draft) and players. Trades can be uneven (eg. 2 players for 1)</li>
<li>You MUST have 26 players on your list going into R14. Meaning if after the end of the trade and delistment period, you have 22 players, YOU HAVE TO DRAFT 4 PLAYERS.</li>
<li>Trading works on the 50% Veto system. If 50% of the non-involved teams veto said trade, trade does not go through. Teams will have roughly 48 hours to veto a trade proposed (eg. If a trade is proposed at 2.15pm on a Tuesday, ORFFL coaches have until 10pm on a thursday to cast their votes. I'll be checking/ratifying at 10pm, basically).</li>
<li>If you put in a trade on Sunday 17th June, ORFFL coaches have until 7pm AEST on Monday 18th June to veto it.</li>
<li>All proposed trades should be posted IN THIS THREAD. Likewise, all vetoes should be posted IN THIS THREAD. I'll tally up the votes and update the OP as required.</li>
<li>Vetoes must be given in the form of a post. Thumbs downs don't mean shit. If I need to explain why to anyone one, I shall be most crestfallen.</li>
</ul>
And I think that's about it. Let me know if I've missed anything, or if you have any questions/queries/comments. So with nothing further to add, HAVE AT IT YOU SCURVY DOGS!
