Friendly wagers cannot adversely impact the competitiveness of the league ~~(if~~ there is question about whether a wager will ~~do so~~, the wager~~'s status~~ will ~~be determined by that year's Rules Board)~~. All assets involved in friendly wagers will be held in escrow, a spreadsheet that will spell out the parties, terms, timeline, and payouts of the friendly wager. Friendly wagers are bound to the team, rather than the owner, such that a owner's departure does not invalidate the wager (unless specified in the terms of the wager). In the event a team's owner leaves, new prospective owners should be made aware of the team's wagered obligations before agreeing to take control of a team, as the assets are held in escrow and will only be released pursuant to the terms of the wager.
