Default late (but still timely) off-season Rule discussion - Flexible Lineup Submission Times

While updating the rules last night I remembered that I had wanted to bring the following up this off-season.

I wanted to get some opinions on allowing more flexibility when submitting lineups. Right now the rules reguire us to submit lineups prior to the start of the 1st game on Sunday (with the exception of Thursday games)... what I would like to propose is the ability to change your lineup at any point in the weekend, with the understanding that once a game starts a players status as "starting" or "not starting" is frozen.

Basically, your lineup would still be "due" Sunday at the start of the 1st game, however, say you have a guy going Monday Night, and are unsure if he's going to play, but you also have his backup (or some other filler playing that night)... you would then be able to make a late substitution.

The same would apply to the Sunday Night game or even the 4pm games.

Basically any player can be subbed in or out as long as their game hasn't started, but once it has their status is locked.

It's kinda our own "gametime" decision.. maybe a way to get back at the Shanahan's of the world ;)!

Anyone have some opinions on this? I've used it in a couple MFL leagues and really prefer it over freezing the lineups at the start of the 1st gametime on Sundays.
