Please use the following formula for posting your drops:
Roster size -
Prospect promotions -
Prospect releases -
Drops -
Roster size -
For example:
Current roster - 40
Prospects promoted - 3
Prospects dropped - 2
Drops - 13
40 + 3 - 13 = 30
Per the rules:
1 - you must drop at least 10, and no more than 15 players.
2 - your pre-draft roster cannot exceed 30 players, and cannot be less than 25 players.
Those are the basics. There's a FAQ on the roster sheet update with more specific info.
The tentative date to have your drops in is Friday, March 4th.
