Lineup Submission Deadline Has Improved

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 4:20 am

Okay, STATS has added one more change to the 2008 NFBC season that hopefully will help all players. Starting this week, you will be allowed to lock in your starting lineups a bit later if there is an early game on Monday as we now have it set up similar to our NFFC format.

As of now, if there was a 1:00 EST game on Monday you had to set your starting lineup for the week five minutes before that game and no changes could be made after that. But going forward, any players playing in that 1:00 game obviously would have to be in your starting lineup five minutes before that game, but you could still make lineup changes for any players who play later in the day. Those changes can be made for all other players five minutes before the first game on Monday night.

This will give you several more hours to make starting lineup decisions and hopefully give you enough time to evaluate the latest injuries. Good luck all and thanks to all who suggested this change.

No, I'm pretty sure it was someone who drafted Tulo in the 2nd round. I'm almost positive.
