Shit, you just opened Pandora's box Frank. I probably would have noticed this anyhow when I updated the roster app this week, but your reply above made me look closer.

2 Teams have already been assessed the 500cb penalty for being under the 5 man TE/K/D limit for more than 24 hours.

By cutting Franks 1st, and acquiring a defense 2 days later (more than 24 hours), you've effectively violated the rule, albeit in a stupid unintentional manner. You should have done it the other way around, aquiring a replacement 1st then cutting the player.

This sucks, I honestly hate leveling these penalties since I'm viewed as the bad guy, but that is the rules, and they are there specifically to keep teams from overusing the 2 extra roster spots we added for those positions. Particualrly accounting for the fact that we added 500cb's for these positions specifcially, thus if you only carry 4 you're potentally using the cb's unfairly.

I feel no choice but to assess the 500 cb penalty, but I think we need to address this in the off-season. Either eliminate the roster spots, or the requirement to carry 5, or maybe have a passive penalty where teams carrying under the limit would temporarily lose 250cb's per player under, thus assuring that those 500cb's are generally dedicated for the extra positions if under the limit. The minute they get back to the limit they'd get their cb's back. Or something like that, maybe assess a small penalty like 25cb's per day under or something.

I myself feel the 500 cb penalty is stiff, but do not feel it should be repealed this year, but it should certainly be revised next year.

Anyhow, the long and short of this is that by going under the 5 player TE/K/D limit for more than 24 hours you've violated the rules and in line with them I have to assess the 500cb penalty.

****, I actually hate this shit as much as you guys do.
