Lineup Locks?

[tema213]

Tom/Greg,
I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, but what's the rule on lineup locks? The Cubs/Pirates game was postponed today but I'm seeing all Cubs and Pirates are locked. Is it start of scheduled game regardless of if that game is played? If so, that seems odd.

Tom/Greg,
I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, but what's the rule on lineup locks? The Cubs/Pirates game was postponed today but I'm seeing all Cubs and Pirates are locked. Is it start of scheduled game regardless of if that game is played? If so, that seems odd.

From the Rules:

"Lineup Submission
The weekly deadline for setting your NFBC starting lineup is on Mondays. In the NFBC, you don't have to lock in your entire starting lineup on Mondays if you have players who don't play their first game of the week until Tuesday. You now are allowed to lock in your starters on Monday 5 minutes before their scheduled games that day and also 5 minutes before their games on Tuesdays if that is their first game of the week. If you have East Coast teams starting at 7:05 pm ET on Monday, you have to lock them into your starting lineup by 7 pm ET. If you also have West Coast players who don't play until 10:05 pm ET, you then have until 10 pm ET to lock those starters in. And now if you have two outfielders playing their first games on Tuesday and you have one OF spot open in your starting lineup, you now have until Tuesday night to finalize who you want in your starting lineup. On Fridays, the same flexible Set Lineup procedure is in place for hitters where you can lock in your starters 5 minutes before their scheduled starting time for that day. Those players lock 5 minutes before their SCHEDULED STARTING TIME and do not change based on weather or any other matters."
