i recall reading a post a while back re players playing ahead in the game. i did not pay much attention but lately i have had some trades offered that did not make good sense. also i have had 2-3 occasions recently where immediately after the trade the player i received went down in ratings points.

i have tried to play ahead and have found that it can't be done without having the commissioner's password. i put a lot of time into 8 leagues and while it is only a game and a hobby i do like to feel that everyone is playing on a level field.

i do know that the commissioner can play ahead and actually recall an instance where the commish was caught doing it. i have to admit that if i had the chance to play ahead to get an advantage i wouldn't do it because actually what does it prove to have to cheat to win in a fun league. probably most everyone feels the same as i do but still the question remains.

1. if you play ahead does it give you an advantage in seeing how ratings will be affected. that is does the game tend to follow a similiar or exact path

2. besides the commissioner is it possible to play ahead without the commissioner giving out his password.
