Jamie, I don't think trades is anywhere near a factor of a Pay League.

I'm not saying that I'm for or against a Pay League. I joined two FHL Pay leagues back in the day, and both shut down and ran off with our money. We thought we trusted the commissioner, but we didn't after everything was over with. Because of that, I will never join a Pay League again.

I just think what it comes down to is does the league have a respectable and fair pay system, where the teams get a certain amount of moeny compared to the original pot. To me, the top teams should get some kind of pay, and the commissioner should get little to no money out of it, unless a part of the pot is to go to the league costs, like the website, and other programs related to the league. The other is if you can trust the commissioner to the point where he can run a successful online league, and not run off with your money.

Like I said, I don't endorce or say no to a Pay League. I just think it's a risk you have to take if you want to join one.

I think the commissioner(s) needs to build a foundation of trust. Not only by his potential owners, but the community that he belongs in. I highly suggest running a small online league before getting into this. This gives the chance to let those who can join your Pay League see if they can trust you or not.

Just .02 more added to the bank.
