Submitting Lineups

JB · Post by JB » Mon Aug 16, 2004 9:59 am

Are you allowed to change your lineup up until gametime of each game? Say you had Jamal Lewis & Musa Smith playing on Sunday night/Monday and it was decided Jamal couldn't play...could you change your lineup before the game started?

That's how a lot of online leagues do it now and it makes a lot of sense. I would be in favor of this.

JB is asking about extending past the early Sunday deadline.

Ooops my mistake for misreading. I just got off the phone with STATS and we'll have an official answer to this question soon. Thanks for your patience.

I'd be midly surprised if this was acceptable. Don't get me wrong, I'd be in favor of it, but you'll get the weekend "vacation" zombies saying that other owners are getting an advantage.

Gordon, we'll have an official response soon, but we'd like to give owners the opportunity to replace somebody prior to the start of each individual game if need be. And if everyone is playing by the same rules, the playing field will be equal for all of the participants.

I agree -- no reason to lock Monday players, for example, in a week when there is a Thursday game.

I spoke with STATS and they have a gametime option which will enable owners to make any last-minute changes up until 5 minutes before the start of every game. I hope this answers any questions.
