My view on it is that a locked roster is a pretty severe penalty that makes it impossible to compete, so I don’t see a need to put a time limit on it. The only time I see this becoming a problem is when a team no longer has an incentive to compete in the current season (so the roster lock penalty no longer has any bite), but I’m not sure a rebuilding team would have anything to gain by doing this as long as there’s a rule that all rosters must be valid by the end of the season.
-
I actually don't think the rules are clear at all on this. Rules I.b., I.c. and V.d. all deal with breaches of salary cap and/or roster limits, but they're not internally consistent. To me, Rule V.d. is the most relevant to this situation, but it does not address the key question of how long is too long for an invalid roster. (Note that Rule I.b. is not actually applicable here as it speaks only to breaches of the salary cap, not the roster limit, and UCL has not breached the salary cap).
-
I think locked rosters are the default “penalty” and that seems pretty clear.

(or unmissable auction nominations)

I'm cool cutting if everyone is upset. I am a commish in another league and have had a manager invalid and waiting on IL moves since the 14th (longer than I have been invalid here) - I have not said anything to them as I understand their intent. Rule 1B is pretty clear that the penalty for invalid roster is locked roster moves, this is PEAK move season and sitting out is a costly option and personal preference. If you folks disagree I'll happily make valid tonight, otherwise I await IL moves.
-
please share your interpretation of how you would like to see this situation handled in our league, this has historically been a league dependent decision so we’d like to hear from you all.
-
Hey all! UCL and I are at an impasse of the interpretation of Rule 1b. It’s my understanding historically that getting legal within a 24-48 hr window is an appropriate way to interpret the penalties of having an illegal roster even though that time limit isn’t explicitly stated. The other take is that the penalty of not being able to sell lineups or bid on FA is enough and the mngr shall wait to make cuts at their convenience, waiting for IL hits, etc.

I've long felt that there's only room for one Tommy John Surgery related name in this league.
-
I feel like I should reconsider my team name ...
-
Does... Does this mean I "ate your pumps?"
-
It's painful to give up an asset like Gunnar, but you put the fear in me in the draft last night. This is going to be a tough league again!
-
That's the spice I like to see the day after a draft.
-
No worries, I'm a commish in another league that drafted last week and it's better to get in front of that headache as almost no one reads the forums from what I can tell lol
-
Yo UCL thanks for being on top of the browser stuff! Super helpful info for anyone who might have trouble.

As Acapulco mentioned, Chrome users are having some issues with the Draft. Please test your client prior to the draft tomorrow. You can test the client by going to league homepage and clicking the "Auction Draft" subtab. If it works, good. If it doesn't work it appears you have two good/reliable options. Open the league (and sign in again) in Incognito Mode. This resolved the issue for me, I was still able to use Chrome and the client worked. If that doesn't work, download Firefox brow

I’d gain $6 at the auction

Why would you when lineups are locked?

I thought I would be able to cut Bradish and incur a $6 penalty but alas.

Appreciate your help! Anyone else let me know in 24 hours if you have a problem else hold your peace and begin to prep for draft night

We're working on it, hopefully the latest doodle gave us a day we can all get together. Wanted to give it one more shot before we went with the day that Goldfish couldn't make. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Do we have a time for March yet? Thanks

hey all..check to see if your draft rooms work, mine didn't and I got an error message, contacted Niv and he said some people with chrome are having that issue..I had to download firefox to get it to work, you may want to check now in case you have to do same.
-
I’m good March 1. Any start time.

I don’t want to be the one that is the problem, so I can find a proxy if need be for that date!
-
being a friday night any chance he could do a little later I have very few dates I can do
-
Any movement on draft date? Seems like we need to find another alternative as 3/1 sounds like it would put MG in a tough spot.
-
That works for me. Thanks

That’s my son’s birthday, would be difficult for me to do that start time as that’s dinner time CST.

Good by me! Thanks for getting this scheduled, BBB.

Tuesday-Friday nights work best for me. My wife is a traveling PT so we are typically away most of the day on the other days. I can make a Saturday-Monday work if that ends up being best for everyone else. The only upcoming days that really don't work for me is from 2/16-2/20.
-
I'd draft at like 2p lol, but yeah, maybe not the 11th.
-
11th is superbowl, good luck getting people to draft then.
-
Out of town 23rd-25th of February. I can do any night of the week if the draft starts by 7p EST. As a fellow commisioner I'd suggest adding every Sunday from now until the season starts (including the 11th and 18th) to the next doodle. Sunday 6-7:30p EST start time is consistently a landing spot for Otto in my years of doing a few leagues.
-
If we have a better idea of what works for everyone we can curate a better list of specific dates and times as options. This is a great league fellas I know we can schedule a draft lmao!
-
Hey yall, responses to the doodle were not effective lol. BBB and I are going to try to put together another doodle with more options but we need people to select all the times the can functionally make work and not just the ones they prefer. Also it would help if everyone would respond here with some days of the week and times that work best for them, like myself I can do just about any day of the week as long as its after 8:30 pm eastern and can likely do an afternoon on the weekends.

will send a updated doodle out tonight
