what is the policy regarding inactiveness

OK...I'll stick to the subject.
"Plug in highest scoring replacement players"
OK...do you meant average weekly score? (because that could be a player who filled in for a TE week 5 and got 14 points, and is now back to his bench roll.)
Do you mean the player with the highest total score? (he could be doubtful or questionable for the coming weekend, or have lost his job completely after a hot start/fill in start.)
As far as weekly prizes...
Now you either lower the league prizes for the real winners, or you increase the league entry and not give it to the ones who come in first. Not a fan of that, and highly doubt that a $100 weekly prize would be enough to sway a team that quit. Not to mention increased book keeping and check writing.
The guys who join Perry are usually not the quitter types.
As far as completely re-programming auto filled rosters pre-kickoff...it sounds like a bunch more overhead and money out the window.
Maybe because I've never in all my years been in a league with quitters who fail to set rosters...or maybe I'm very superstitious, often waiting until Sunday morning to set my lineup and would not want a computer setting it for me and influencing me.
What about when there are no replacements for the BYE week players on the bench? Does a big error occur? Does it crash, or simply alert the team via e-mail or blinking or red notice that they have an invalid lineup.
Would you program it to bid on free agents to fill the bye week spots? Who would you program it to drop? Relax...I'm being silly.
Would I go bonkers if I saw a Tuesday morning lineup set for the coming week that I didn't set? I doubt it. Are there really enough quitters to justify spending who knows how much money to set those lineups automatically? I have no idea how much it would cost to program, nor it the new programming would make errors, nor if it would select the right players to have enough impact to do anything but stop folks from going bonkers when they see opponents with bye week starters.
What about when good players want to save their bench and start bye week players on purpose?
Would that cause big errors?
Just brain storming Renman and KJ...that's all.
