To maintain activity in the league, the plan is to implement some penalties for inactivity going forward. There are four major classes of violations
Four major violations:
1. Unset lineups on a regular basis
2. Intentionally benching players (tanking)
3. Leaving injured players in the lineup when IR spots are available
4. Carrying empty roster spots
There will be a three strike policy for the above violations (warnings about a violation above).
Lineups: For NHL, NBA, and MLB, leaving roster unset two times within a scoring period earns you a strike. For NFL, missing lineup for a weekly matchup earns you that same strike. The only exception to that rule in NFL is if there is a game-time decision that you couldn't do anything about (like Doug Martin getting scratched on Monday right before the game randomly).
Tanking: This is personal discretion, but if someone is clearly benching their good players for worse ones, it won’t look good, and it will be addressed personally.
Injured players: If an injured player is not moved to IR and replaced for more than a week, you earn a strike (There may be some leeway here because some players flirt with a return date for a while. This is mainly meant for players who are definitively ruled out for a lengthy period of time).
Empty roster spots: If a team leaves roster spots open for longer than a week, they will be assessed a strike.
Every rookie draft from 2019 forward will have a supplemental round after the last round. Everyone will start the season with a pick, and if they lose their three strikes, will lose that pick. These picks will NOT be tradeable until the season is over and picks are officially awarded.
If there are FURTHER violations after the three strikes there will be salary cap penalties for the team in question for the upcoming free agency period.
4th strike: Lose 2 mil cap room for upcoming FA
5th strike: Lose 5 mil cap room for upcoming FA (total, not additional)
Further violations: At that point, it really needs to be questioned whether we need to find a solution (a co-manager or something) or a replacement.
