Why? We are supposed to be making sure more players get an opportunity. GMs should be forced to do so....

I'm not worried about teams having a small amount of players in each level. That's not a problem for me. Sorry.

THen again I ask why is having a large number a problem for anyone but the owner who has it? I am trying to make the point but obviously as you said it doesnt affect you so you don't care. So since the rule only affects me and the effort I have put in it's not as important. I am truly done on this argument and I am sure I come off whiny but I dont really care because it is a misjustice in the league and is really frustrating to me, an owner who has tried very hard to be very active and rebuild after a few seasons of inactivity. I find it very frustrating that a rule was set that, intentionally or not, hurts an owner and didn't give that owner a chance to do anything about it and all defense of it was brushed off.

I see advantage for the people who is claiming free agents all the days and that rule doesnt allow that, at least sets a limit

[mstreeter06]

The rule is to protect the league and the other teams as well as keeping the movement of players. There is no value or point of keeping more than 25-35 players in any level. I'm sorry.

IMO the difference is that loading up on players affects other teams who then are facing a shallow FA pool, while using ghost players does not negatively affect other teams.

Yup exactly.

I really think this season is fine to implement the max roster size rule but we will postpone the implementation of the rule until Opening Day 2018. Please plan accordingly and begin to trim your rosters by then.

[mstreeter06]

I've updated the AFBL Rules/Constitution to reflect the rule change adjustment to Opening Day 2018 for the max roster size limit.

The 2nd half of Spring Training sim has been ran. File/reports are updated and Statslab will be coming soon!

Opening Day 2017 is MONDAY!

[mstreeter06]

Statslab is updated

Hmm is this the same of anyone else? If needed I can reupload if I missed something in this file.

[mikezone13]

Yep, first 2 games of the second ST sim I can't see box scores, all other games are fine.

Hmm I'll avoid uploading a new file to avoid confusion. If needed, check the box scores using the HTML Reports or Statslab. Sorry about that guys. I think the extra days after the end of STuntil Opening Day is the reason for the first 2 games of the 2nd half to not be included.
