Vote: IR Players

[Drew]

Please vote and discuss if you wish.

If an ir player does not count towards your roster limit, then they should not be considered active.

This shouldn't even be a vote. Just wanted some clarification as sometimes the way things are written is confusing. For example: what do you mean by IR player?

A) A player that is on IR
B) A player that is replacing a player that is on IR

Obviously if a player is on IR they are NOT active.

  Seams like a weird vote to me.

[SlackJack]

I can't vote because I'm not certain what is meant by IR player. Seriously.

[Drew]

Sorry guys this is for IR replacement players, sorry. So an player placed on IR becomes inactive. This would only affect calling up goalies so if you have 3 goalies on your team and another player gets hurt, you can or can't call up a goalie because you already have 3 active goalies.

I reset the votes to make sure everyone actually knows what they are voting on. Any player placed on IR is not active. But this vote is for replacement players whether they are "active"

If we vote that replacement players are not active then we would be able to exceed the maximum of 3 active goalies by calling up multiple replacement goalies for anybody placed on IR.
I think we can simplify by stating that: "a goalie can only be used as an IR replacement for an injured goalie and may not be employed on the main roster out of position"

I voted Yes, but was a little confused.  I believe like Slack that a goalie should only be called up if a goalie is the player on IR.

This is the intention of the rule but simply stating that IR replacements are considered active players solves this because you can't have more than 3 active goalies.
