LINEUPS / ROSTER CHANGES

Each team must start:
1 QB
2 RB'S
3 WR'S and/or TE'S
1 Kicker
1 Defense/Specialty Team

Lineups are due 10:30 a.m. Sunday. Lineups called in after 10:30 but before 12:00 will be accepted but owners will be subject to a $5 late fee.
Lineups that have already been called in can be changed until 12:00 but owners are subject to $5 change fee.
If a lineup is not called in by 12:00 Sunday then the previous week's lineup will be used. Owners are subject to a $5 non-participation fee.
Players starting in a Thursday or Saturday game must be called in before kickoff. If a player is not called in then last week's lineup will be used to determine if the player will start.
Whenever last week's lineup is used to determine a team's starting lineup nothing will be assumed. If last week's lineup consisted of a bye player(s) then this week's lineup will have unfilled positions. A player who is obviously out due to injury or suspension will not be replaced.

Roster Change Fees:
$2----Add
$2----Drop
$2----Bye player pick up
$1----Place on IR (per week)
$1----Take off IR
$2----Trade fee per team (per deal - in addition to regular add/drop fees)

Roster changes are allowed from the time that stats are released (no later than Wednesday) until Sunday's 1st kickoff. All players who are not on a CPFL roster are considered restricted free agents until Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
Restricted free agent pickups are subject to the roster change priority list, which is generated every week and is based on a team's total starting points using record tiebreakers. The team with the fewest starting points will be at the top of the priority list. Whenever a restricted free agent is picked up the acquiring team will move to the bottom of the priority list.
Players who are not claimed by Thursday 8:00 p.m. will become unrestricted free agents and be available to the first team that makes a request. Players who are dropped by the Thursday evening deadline will become restricted free agents and remain so until Friday at 8:00 p.m. where the same free agency rules and priority list applies.
All players who are dropped after the Thursday deadline will not become available until the following week.
If a position cannot be filled by a player on your active roster due to a bye week in the NFL then a bye player may be picked up for that week. Bye players may be dropped from a team at no cost but if an owner wants to keep that player then he must pay regular roster change fees.
Teams with bye players will have the "right of first refusal" until Wednesday 8:00 p.m. If a team keeps a bye player they will not be charged with a priority move. Players who are dropped as a result of a team exercising this right will become restricted free agents. Bye players who are not acquired under this option will become restricted free agents.
Players may be placed on the injured reserve list (IR) if they have a status of at least questionable on or after Thursday (USA Today). A player who is on the IR is considered to be off of the active roster.
Thursday's roster change deadline is moved to 6:00 p.m. if there is a Thursday game in the NFL.
The roster change deadline is moved to Wednesday 8:00 P.M. prior to Thanksgiving. All players who are dropped by this deadline will be restricted free agents until 9:30 A.M. the following morning.
Moves can only be made in the playoffs if a position cannot be filled due to an injury or a bye in the NFL schedule. Injured players must be listed with a status of at least questionable.
