DISCLAIMER

Confusion regarding the IR's applicability at auction time. Long story short, you must enter + leave the auction + draft with no more than 5 RB's, 7 WR's + LB's, 4 DL's, and 3 of everything else while staying under the 34 player roster limit.

Also, check and make sure your extensions are right on pg 1, noticed when I was updating the by laws to reflect the above that the list seemed a bit light. Think I'm missing some late disclousers. I was very busy around the end of Jan/early Feb so it wouldn't surprise me.

Think that was it though.

I will add that you do not have to be under roster limits entering the auction, as there are free agents on rosters.

I think this means that you can enter and leave the draft over the limit as well, does it not?

Also, taxi squad players do not count towards the roster limits any time of year, whereas IR doesn't exist until training camp. So you must leave the auction under roster limits for active and IR, but not taxi.

No. The 'free agents' on rosters should be transition players only. They are not technically on your roster yet.
And no. The limits are only adjusted on the website to prevent picks from erroring out. It's assumed that any player taken over a positional roster limit is a taxi squad pick. Once the taxi is full the owner can't pick a player from that position anymore without making a corresponding move.

Honor system applies for both since there isn't a functionality on mfl to control it, obviously if anyone sees an issue ask about it so we can remedy it. It'd suck for everyone else if an owner thought he had an extra roster spot for a player, and didn't, and no one noticed until after the draft/auction were done because then no one can get that player again until waivers in September.

Ok, what you said makes sense, but that means that any players with expiring contracts do not count toward your roster limits.

Correct? Not just transition players, but all rookie renewal and FA will not count until after the auction.
(The week before for renewal, once you declare them renewed.)

Damn you guys voting to have the draft before the auction.

I don't see any way around it this year so roster limits probably have to go out the window for the draft, but something will need to be put into place next year. Each team must be in compliance when roster declarations are made a week before the auction though.

A week after the auction, yes. The week before, renewals are made and count towards the roster limit, but transitioned players and FA still do not count.

That is how it has always been done and why we never care about compliance until the week after.

so basically the draft will happen with no affect to your roster limits in any way until the declaration deadline after the auction? if this is wrong, please correct me.

For this year, correct. I'd rather wait to discuss an alternative method for future years until later to minimize confusion.

thx. just want to be sure we fully understand going into the draft in a couple weeks.

Are we doing the draft on a separate MFL league site? Seems easier that way given the roster settings on the main league site.

No, it isn't easier.

We just need to remove the roster limits and this site works fine. The other site requires manually loading everything and is just more of a hassle.


As for the roster limits during the draft, the only clear violation is you can't have more than the roster limit currently under contract. So if you have five RB without needing to be won at auction, any RB you draft goes on taxi.

Easy enough.

cool, I could care less where we do it.

Just to let everyone know, I prepared the mfl site for 2012.

The draft order is set, the date is set, I increased roster limits temporarily but every team should try to obey roster limits if they have too many men under contract.


It doesn't have to be paid before June 9 to get the discount, so i will wait on that part.
