I want to say that a pre-season roster overrun that is proprtional to anticipated IL spots seems reasonable, but at the same time I can also imagine a way or two that could be abused.

maybe a few more of your players can just get suspended, then youd be in the clear ...woof

And full disclosure, I put in for the Luke Jackson as well so I don’t want anyone thinking more shinanigans after all this. Again, all these auctions were placed before I had an illegal lineup.

Mention the 60 day dl anticipation…so I found myself with way more filled roster spots than I thought so before I made crazy cuts I wanted to know what people thought about non season rosters…I didn’t want to be unethical that’s why I asked. Really just amounted to that. Not trying to gain some sneaky advantage. Just thought if I was cutting/keeping “x” RP vs another I’d wait a few more ST games before I made a move (if that was deemed legit” if not, I’d just make the cuts based on my gut.

This has actually become much bigger issue than I intended…really there was no malice here. I was in the red, was going to cut some guys, but I thought I’d find out what everyone thought. I was under the roster limits by multiple spots before I started any auctions and knew there was a couple positions of need for my squad and was afraid I wasn’t going to get many of the guys at the bids I felt comfortable with so I did numerous ones “just in case” well I got more guys than expected, not to

The "how much over the roster limit can I go" topic has been batted around at length over on the Community (and Slack, apparently), with the resolution as "whatever your league is comfortable with" (though this is generally with regard to the END of the season going into arbitration). Read up here (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/illegal-roster-between-end-of-season-and-arbitration/6191), from our own former Firehouse champ Russ, and follow the link in Niv's reply for more.

...though that hasn't done much to slow you down in the past, given the generally easy money policy around the Firehouse and concomitant loan availability. Me, I'm more of a stickler, but if you were to ask I'd suggest loosely that not going over the number of anticipated 60IL placements already on your roster is a fair way to proceed. In the end, though, carry on as you do and maybe we'll codify something like NRIs a bit better once a few more owners have chimed in.

Kevin, if that was a shot then I'd call it friendly fire... seems most here aren't feeling terribly put upon by your NRIs. Niv writes these rules to give some flexibility, as was pointed out below with the section V citation; however, note from section I that the application will not allow you to make or edit bids with your roster in an illegal state and the language about not "...willingly go(ing) over roster and salary cap limits". There are also the ensuing cap penalties to consider

My two cents: I'm readings this as you shouldn't be bidding on auctions when your roster is in a "not legal" state. Of course with so many auctions ending at the same time, you ran the risk of going way over the roster limit. I've always tried to get my roster legal as soon as possible, even if it means making difficult cuts. But to be honest, I'm okay with you holding off in this pre-games period as long as you're not bidding on more auctions.

Rules state:
Teams are allowed to bid such that they would go over roster or cap limits if they win the auction. If they do win the auction, they will have to get under roster and cap limits before they can set their lineups, make trades, or bid on other auctions.Cedar Rapids Orphans on March 8, 2024 2:56 PM
