Welcome to Swap League 2! This league is similar to Swap League 1, with a few different settings and positions. Here are the rules for Swap League 2:

1) PROTECTION: Each manager is allowed to protect 5 players: 2 guards, 2 forwards/centers, and 1 player of their choice. Please post your protected players in your MESSAGE BOARDS. You are allowed to change your protection AT ANY TIME. However, if you decide to change your protection at the last minute, you must post on the message boards to notify the league of the change. A master list of protected players has been made for reference:

2) SWAP PROCESS: Each week, if you defeat your opponent, you can trade up to 2 of your players for 2 of your opponent's UNPROTECTED players. Please post your swap in the message boards. It should follow this model: (Team 1 swaps with Team 2: Player A and Player B for Player C and Player D). The ideal time to post your swap is Monday morning, but there isn't really a deadline. However, the earlier you post, the more likely your swap will get processed on time. Post at your own risk.

There are 2 divisions with each division run by one of the co-commissioners:

1) Melanie Rios Division run by The Panda's Friend (myself)
2) Melanie Jane Division run by TCB in a Flash

If you win your matchup that week then the co-commissioner in your
division will process your swap. If you have a problem please contact
them. If swaps haven't been done by Tuesday morning, please email me
and I will perform the emergency trade and have a talk with the
co-commissioner of your division.

3) Questions or concerns: Lastly, if ANYONE has a question or a suggestion on how to make the league better, feel free to post on the message boards or shoot me an email (aznbball08@gmail.com) if you want it to be private. Thank you and have a great season!
