POSITION ELIGIBILITY
​​​
Position eligibility for the 2025 season has been reviewed for the purpose of deleting position eligibility for those players who have yet to make 1 appearance at an eligible position. Position losses have been posted for those 32 players on the web page.
​​
These players will need to make 3 appearances at the lost position in order to have it restored.
​​
​​​​Please be sure to review the Multi-Position Eligibility page for a complete update.

FILLING OUT LINEUPS 101
​
Full Slate reserves the right to reject and / or alter lineups in part or total that are not submitted according to guidelines!!!
​​
‑> At no time may an active roster exceed 20 hitters or 20 pitchers.
‑> Managers are required to carry a minimum of 6 SP's, 6 RP's and 6 OF's (or 5 OF's with a DH‑only player) on your active roster; with a maximum of 9 active of each. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in the loss and/or alteration of transactions, including Free Agent claims.
​
‑> Always enter the player's last name FIRST. First names or initials (if necessary) should be placed AFTER the last name!
‑> The section labeled "DH‑Only & Reserves" is for reserve infielders and players who eligible only as a DH. Do not list outfielders or pitchers here!
‑> Make sure you use the correct code for the proper move. (e.g. Moves to and from the Minor League Roster are OP(option) and RE(recall) and moves to and from the Inactive Reserve are DE(deactivate) and AC(activate). Do not reverse them! When moving a player retroactively on the Inactive Reserve - adding weeks - use only the transaction code MO(move).
‑> Document every Player Transaction! The label "Trns" stands for "Transaction". On this line you are required to enter the proper 2‑letter code indicating the type of transaction that is being performed on that player. Failure to do so may result in that transaction being "skipped" during data entry.
‑> Do not take "shortcuts" when filling out the Player Transaction section! Unless we see these documentations as we perform the transactions phase of processing, we will assume that you are not requesting a claim and pass your lineup on to lineup entry! A reminder is now posted above the Waiver Claim boxes on the back of the new lineups. And, do not alter the assignments of the Waiver Claim boxes. Use them as directed!
‑> When requesting a player not shown on the Free Agent list, you must completely identify him using his full name and MLB team, or he will be passed to your next alternate!
‑> The Inactive Reserve. A player may not be optioned from the Inactive Reserve to the Minor League System until fulfilling his commitment on the IR.
2025 RULE CHANGE
​​A slight change to the Waiver Claim process is being implemented for 2025.
​
In the past, the Week 1 claim order has been the inverse order of the previous season's final standings, and claims were awarded in 2 rounds - <A> then <B> picks.
​
The "inverse" claim order is now being expanded to the first 3 weeks of the season. Beginning with Week 4, claims will change to inverse order of the current standings
​
Additionally, Week 1 claims will be awarded, team-by-team - both <A> and <B> claims together - then continue for the full season.
​​
As always, waiver claims may not be traded for the first 3 weeks.
