Question - How long will it take for the trade to process?? 

Post#1 » by mtx » Sat Dec 1, 2012 10:13 pm

Can anyone confirm if my assumptions are correct? I know trades have a 48-hour process and I know Yahoo servers run on PST time.

Scenario: I accepted a trade this past Thursday @ 10:30PM EST. Exactly 48 hours means the trade should be processed tonight, Saturday @ 10:30PM EST right?

Catch: I play with weekly lineups which means I can only edit my roster for the upcoming week by Saturday, 11:59PM PST latest.

Question: Will I be able to edit my lineup with the new players before the midnight deadline?

Click on view trade and it will say which day the trade is going to take effect on the rosters. I would guess that it's not until tomorrow. I don't think yahoo bases it on what time of day the trade was accepted, I think it's usually 3 days after it was agreed to.

trades depend on when they are accepted.

at the first midnight of the next day is when the 48 hour process begins. for example: if you accept a trade at 1159PM, the 48 hour window will begin in one minute at the first midnight.

If you accept a trade at 159AM, you have to wait until midnight for the 48 hour wait to begin, meaning 22 hours until the 48 hours begins :)
