In this negotiation they are two primary participants consisting of my friend, John Briseño, and myself. The other party that was involved as a BATNA was my brother Arturo Ibarra and some of the other affected parties consisted of our friends in our Fantasy Football League.
2. What is the situation?
My brother and I host an annual Fantasy Football League every year and in this league a total of 12 people gather together and role play as owners of their own football team. The league begins with an online draft where in a certain order each owner drafts their desired players to craft what they believe is the ultimate team.

The issue for the other party is the same as mine because during the negotiation the other party wants the best deal possible, but that can come at the expense of boosting my teams performance at the same time. If at the end of the negotiation, both parties come out with a better team that could eventually become problematic when the two teams face each other. If at the end of the negotiation, both parties are reluctant to make a deal that makes the other team better then that could lead to hostility and an agreement will not be reached.
