Im a little confused about the trade dates and setting them... eg: if i set a trade date on my pool for say Nov 15, does anyone in the pool wanting to make a trade have to make the trade on that specific date ? or do they have the option to bank the trade credit and use it later on if they want to ? |

I copied and pasted this from the help files:
Trades
The Pool Administrator conducts all the trades. If you are not a pool administrator you CANNOT conduct trades. By default the trades are turned off. The administrator must turn them on to conduct official trades via the Trades System. Go to the "edit pool details" page to turn the trades on.
Trade Types: A Replacement Trade means that you trade away ALL the points of the first player and pick up ALL the points of the second player. A Split Trade means that you keep the points of the traded player up to the trade date and start collecting points of the acquired player after the trade date.
Trade Dates: Once you have established whether you will have trades and what type of trade you will do, you must then select the dates at which you would like to make your trades. You can do this in the "Trades" section of the pool (see the menu on the left) there are 2 tabs; "Trade Dates" and "Conduct Trades". Choose Trade Dates. You can have several trade dates. The amount of dates you add is optional; you can have only 1 or you can input unlimited trade dates. The system will use these dates when processing the trades. When you add the dates is up to you because the trade dates are retroactive. If you don't have time to input all the trades before the trade date, don't worry. Once you input the trades the system will calculate the new points from the trade date selected. Remember that the original player in the trade will collect point up to and including the trade date. the newly acquired players will show up 2 days after the trade date. The first day after the trade date will show the old player’s points that he accumulated on the trade date. The second day after will show the new player’s points from the day after the trade date
Conducting a Trade: When your trade dates are set up you will then need to conduct the trades. You can conduct them by going to the "Trades" page which is found just below the "Edit Pool" button in the left menu. Select the "Conduct Trades" tab at the top. Please select the trade date from the drop down list and then the team. Below that click on "add trade" and 2 input boxes will appear. In the left box choose the player you want to trade away and in the right box choose the player you want to acquire for that team and click "save". That's it! Repeat for each team as needed.
Viewing a trade: After a trade is conducted the traded player remains visible in the pool teams lineup however they are grayed out. This is so others can see that player's contribution to the total points of that team. Of course, they will not continue acquiring points. The newly acquired player's points may at first be zero. The system refreshes at 12:30am PST and the points will be calculated at that point.
Things to Remember:
1) Points take effect the day AFTER a trade date.
2) If your pool is set to be a DRAFT style of pool then a pool team can only acquire a player in a trade if the player is not owned by another team. If that player is owned by another pool team, then they must be dropped from his current team first and then acquired by the new team. If you try to select a player already drafted the system will alert you. A STRAIGHT style of pool does not have this restriction.
3) The newly acquired player's points may zero out until the system refreshes at 12:30am PST.
4) You may have assigned different point values for forwards, defense, goalies so be sure to acquire players from the same position. By default if a player is selected to be an Enforcer then the acquired player will be an enforcer too. You can disable the enforcer from the "Edit Pool Teams" section of the "Edit Pool" page.
Players Swapping: Swapping is not considered to be a trade. We realize that sometimes NHL players are added to your pool teams accidentally or a team may select an injured player and everyone allows him to swap him out etc. So an administrator can swap players at will without affecting trades by simply going to the "Edit Pool"/"Manage Pool Teams" page and editing the players on the pool team. It would be just as if he was setting the pool up originally. Just go into any team and swap the players needed. If you do it this way you will swap all of that player's points for the new player's points. You can always swap back if you like. Swapping is not considered a trade.

The pool admininistrator (commissioner) has to enter all the trades into the pool because the system does not yet have a function to allow individual poolies to do this. The trade dates are just to tell the system when to start counting the points from. As for banking trades and getting trade credit, that is entirely up to you and your poolies to decide. |
