- After the offseason but before the draft, you will not be able to claim from the waiver wire once your total roster reaches 73 players; this leaves room to add the 7 players for the draft. If you still manage to go over 80 players (by having more draft picks or a trade), your roster will be cut to 80 at the first game, but it should reduce waiver hoarding.
- You will no longer be able to waive players once you are down to 45 players total.
- Empty roster slots under 53 will be charged 385 each against your salary cap.
Please keep a close eye on this last one! Theoretically it should work fine, but there is of course the possibility that it will fail or make a real mess of someone's roster if they are over the cap but have less than 53 players, because each hole the system makes to get under the cap will be adding 385 for the hole. The routine accounts for that, going after meatier players now, but it still needs to have some eyes on it. We'll need to try to force this situation to occur in Beta Premium.

Due to some issues in a couple of leagues, I have had to tighten some things up on the roster pages:- After the offseason but before the draft, you will not be able to claim from the waiver wire once your total roster reaches 73 players; this leaves room to add the 7 players for the draft. If you still manage to go over 80 players (by having more draft picks or a trade), your roster will be cut to 80 at the first game, but it should reduce waiver hoarding.

Thank you... I'm going to run the last preseason game now, then start the first regular season game to see if it handles the situation properly.Chris

It was close... it got Atlanta to just a hair over the cap. I may have had a test in the wrong order, but at least it didn't make a horrible mess of the team.Strange the guy it picked though... looking into that.
