FILLING OUT LINEUPS 101
Please take a minute to read this column as well as the top paragraph on the back of each lineup sheet.
Remember ... Full Slate reserves the right to reject lineups in part or total that are not submitted according to these guidelines!!!
‑> 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 of these 3 positions. 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!
‑> 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 these lines 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 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.
‑> In order to avoid mistakes, be sure to list all players on your 40‑man roster on every lineup!
