Penalties for not clearing roster space/cap for a final bidUpon winning a bid that sets a team over the cap, the GM is granted 24 hours to post the transactions that will make the cap work (either a trade or releasing players). If the transactions are not valid or not posted within 24 hours of the bids being finalized, that team no longer receives the player. If this is a first time offense, the GM is given a warning. For all subsequent offenses, the team is penalized a 10% cap penalty.After such a failed bid, the player goes back to the bidding board, leaving off at the highest bid prior to the winning bid, and the 72 hour clock is restarted. The offending team can no longer bid on that player, even if they clear up the cap space to do so.No exceptions are granted to teams that won the bid but had a trade fall through - if you're not certain you'll have room, make the trade first. In other words, don't bid on a player you can't afford! Note that this applies only to FA. No trades can be completed that set a team over the cap - the trade must be re-worked.
Over the salary cap / Date updatedTampa Bay / 5-14-2011Cincinnati / 5-20-2011Rules on salary cap grant only a 24-hour window to clear space after an FA signing, and zero tolerance for trades.Baltimore and Washington have 11 players on their EDR, roster size does not expand to 10 until the 2011 Entry Draft.White Sox have 41 players on their roster.Also, looks like SD has a roster from a different league accidentally posted.
•The EDR is a roster of additional players not included on the 40-man roster for each team. The maximum size of this roster is 10 players. It will expand to 15 players at the beginning of the 2011 season and then finally to 20 players at the beginning of the 2012 season.EDR changed to 15 players at the beginning of the 2011 season so I am not in violation correct?
You are correct on the size, but you are still in violation since the only way to add players is via the Entry Draft. All teams should have been at 10 or less going into the season and have had no opportunity to add to their EDR since.
