How did this trade involve three teams at the same time? The answer? It did not because it wasn&#039;t just one big trade at all. It involved EBL making two separate trades to two separate teams at the same time. These trades were back to back and there was no three teams about it. Allow me to illustrate what actually happened versus an actual three-way trade.<br /><br />[hr]<br />[center][img]http://ralphis.unidoom.org/stuff/idl/tradea.png[/img][/center]<br />This happened. It is two back to back trades with two unrelated teams. It is an illegal trade and is clearly stated in the rules.<br />[hr]<br />[center][img]http://ralphis.unidoom.org/stuff/idl/tradeb.png[/img][/center]<br />This is a three-way trade. It did not happen and never has in league history. There are no rules regarding a trade of this type in the current IDL rules (though there are from the season 1-4 book, not sure why it was reworded).<br />[hr]<br />In summary, there is no reason why this should be &quot;considered one big trade for all 3 teams&quot; because it is just two simple common trades executed in the same week.<br /><br />Given the information available, I&#039;m not sure how you could FAIRLY ALLOW this trade. There is plenty to go by if you just read the rules on the site! Thank you for your time.
