2026 CALENDAR of EVENTS
March 23 - Week 1 lineups must be submitted - trading may resume
FILLING OUT LINEUPS 101
Effective Week 2...
‑> 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 players who are not eligible to play a position in the field (e.g. Edgar Martinez) or, for players who have the multi‑position eligibility of DH, as well as reserve infielders. Do not list outfielders or pitchers here!
‑> 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. These entries must be grouped and listed in the required order.
‑> 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).
‑> 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.
Remember ... Full Slate reserves the right to reject lineups in part or total that are not submitted according to guidelines!!!
2026 WAIVER CLAIM PROCESS
The waiver claim order is the inverse order of the 2025 season's final standings, and claims will be awarded in 2 rounds - <A> then <B> picks. This "inverse" claim order will be in effect for the first 3 weeks of the season.
Beginning with Week 4, claims will change to inverse order of the current standings and 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.
TRADES
Trade proposals must be submitted by both owners on the same day to be considered. Rulings on trades will be posted within 2 business days.
A new regulation is now in force: An owner may submit only 1 proposal per league and may not submit another trade in that league until the current trade is confirmed or denied.
In some cases where owners have had past issues with their rosters, FullSlate may require a complete lineup in order verify accuracy. Also, failure to submit an accurate lineup may result in suspension of trading privileges!
