FOF: house rules for partially human league?

[badger ken]

My buddies are planning an FOF league where each buddy runs a team. However, there are only about 4 of us - the other teams will all be computer run.

Or there are any standard house rules to keep the human players from ripping off the computer players too badly? Limits e.g. on trade offers, draft day machinations, etc.?

thanks,

Well, the GM has to do all trades, so it'll be tough for them to rip the computer off.

The only extra thing we had to do was dealing with trades. You can either disallow trades with the AI completely, or allow GMs to propose trades with AI teams to the other GMs for approval. If the other GMs agree that if they were the AI team, they'd make the trade, let it go through. Of course, that depends on everyone playing fair; if they can't play fair, just don't allow trades with the AI and make the GMs work for those players...
