Has this been figured out yet? I don't see it in the rules, unless I missed it.

Week #1 consists of April 3 through April 10 games. All players do not lock however until the Monday/Tuesday schedules games so everyone essentially will know stats from April 3 games before finalizing their week #1 lineups.

Are the free agents that are added to player's rosters on April 11 able to be used the week of April 11? Many games will be completed Monday April 11 prior to the FAAB deadline, meaning players that have good games on Monday afternoon may be picked up that night and have their stats counted?

What do you mean by "finalizing their week #1 lineups"? I thought that that we did not have to submit lineups in the Cutline contest.

My Apologies...I certainly didn't help with that statement
My understanding is the Cutlline contest indeed is an optimal scoring contest; programming will determine everyone's best lineup retroactively for all weekly games Monday through Sunday throughout the season. The one weekly exception is Week #1 which consists of eight days, April 3 through April 10 games.
The two FAAB periods are on Monday nights (first being April 11) and so yes some players will have played or will be playing live games during the FAAB process on April 11 and those stats will indeed count toward team's optimal scoring for that particular week.

Thanks Fast Eddie...Greg also confirmed the first week will be Sunday to Sunday.

Yes they will. The computer will still figure out your optimal scoring lineup for that week using all of the free agents you've added on Monday night. Good luck.

Is it normal my cutline teams have no place to make bids for free agents for the 11th
