Online League Trade Deadline, Most Trades You've Seen?

thomamon · 05-09-2010, 09:40 PM

In my online league, tomorrow is the trade deadline. At this time I have 15 trades to process during the sim, which is by far the most I've ever processed in one sim.

What has been the most trades you've ever seen at your deadline of your online league?

I believe the PEBA and LRS have been in the twenties at the trade deadline, but actually, it's our Winter Meetings that have produced the most per capita trades over the years. We run these as two-hour live events. Owners arrive in our league's chat room, begin chatting each other up, and next thing you know, the trades start flowing in. This is facilitated by the fact that the Winter Meetings is the one point on the calendar when all player trade restrictions are temporarily lifted. You'll see owners use the opportunity to swap recent draftees, for example, something normally not permitted.

Our recently-completed 2011 Winter Meetings produced a record 24 trades in just over two hours, some quite impactful in nature. Of course, generally speaking, our leagues have traditionally been trade-intense. For anyone interested, you can view a tally of each league's completed trades by visiting The PEBA Trade Tally and The LRS Trade Tally.

The trade deadline is 17 minutes away and we are at 24 trades...

Yeah, we get a ton of trades in the winter meetings, but they are not all in one sim like this! LOL

I like your idea of the live chat.
