Trading rules would just be if there's going to be any rule system governing how trades happen in the fantasy football league. A lot of rules and a lot of fantasy football leagues don't have too many rules that have to do with trades, other than you have to keep the minimum number of players on your roster that's required. And also there's going to be rules for fairness. You just have to have rules that a bottom team isn't really helping out a top team, as maybe they're friends with them and their team really isn't very good. So there'll just be a rule stuck in there just in terms of fairness and that's where a commissioner gets involved within the fantasy football league. If everybody in the league is cool, you're not going to really need to use the trading rules too much. It'll all just be kind of common sense. It's only when people are trying to really take advantage of another owner that trading rules come into play within the fantasy football league.
