REMINDER: You must reduce your roster to 50 players or less (combined rated and unrated players) by the trading deadline. Your roster may never exceed 60 total players during the trading season. You must release enough players prior to making a trade that would cause your team to exceed the limit. If your roster exceeds these limits then enough unrated players will automatically be released, alphabetically, to reduce your roster to the 50 or 60 player limit. ...................................... PLAYER SHORTAGES: If any manager is short some GP's or AB's at a position in order to stay within the IRBL player season limitations and you are unable to complete a trade to fill those needs, let me know before the trading deadline and I will work out a trade for you to fill that need. ...................................... TRADING POST: I recommend that you submit your team's wants and offerings to be listed on the IRBL Trading Post to make it easy for all managers to see what everyone is offering or need. ...................................... The newsletter (LRD) after the trading deadline will contain guidelines and forms to fill out for your team season instructions. ...................................... DEADLINES: Mar. 4 - Trading deadline (6 pm, ET) Mar. 18 - Team instructions to be received by League Office and all managers within your league Apr. 1 - First series of 2007 season ...................................... ......................................
