[b:30ac98903f]8 - ONCE AND ONLY ONCE 3 Games have been played, and the 95% rule comes into effect, may you make changes to your roster.[/b:30ac98903f]
9 - The [b:30ac98903f][u:30ac98903f]ONLY[/b:30ac98903f][/u:30ac98903f] exception(s) are:
(a) is if you needed to add player(s) to reach TSN Regulation(s) to draft.
(b) Trades. [b:30ac98903f]HOWEVER the NEW Owner [u:30ac98903f]MUST KEEP[/u:30ac98903f] the players acquired by trade until [u:30ac98903f]AFTER[/u:30ac98903f] Games 1-3 have been played.[/b:30ac98903f]
10 - 60m Minimum Rule:
If you get a roster whose value is less than 60m you're allowed to add/replace players to ensure your roster has at least 60m starting the season. When replacing players, try to replace players that had the least importance on the Season I squad first (ie bench and role players).
Note: Owners are [b:30ac98903f]STRONGLY DISCOURAGED[/b:30ac98903f] from having fire sales, releasing stud players (who have good cards) or any other action that intentionally damages the value of the roster for Season II.
Trading/releasing a Stud player who has a bad card for an average player who is having a good season IS allowed, as are all other trades/transactions that an owner feels will make their squad more competitive. In other words - use good judgement.
* - Determined by who has better W/L followed by better RS/RA differentials.
