Submitting a Case to the Jury

  3. If the case being submitted is for an unfair trade, the member should select the players involved in the trade along with any other pertinent details not already covered in the league rules.
  4. When submitting a case, the member will select how he wants the case to be judged and what criteria will determine if the case is deemed innocent or guilty.
  5. Once the case is submitted, the member may alter the details of the trade up to the trade deadline. If the details are modified, any previous votes will not be discarded.
  6. After a case is submitted, the member may withdraw the case at any time. No more voting will be permitted on the case and the case will be considered permanently closed.
