I got a DQ on the Championship because I had an illegal lineup. I couldn't drop a player before the PATS game started because the "game had already started" even though kickoff was 15 mins after I tried to make the transaction. According to the league rules the lock was 5 MINS before the first game of the week was played. That's messed up. Money league and the potential money prize just went down the tube. I'm done with FF.

who DQ'd you? The website you were on or was it a Manual DQ by the League Manager?

I believe it was automated. I don't think it was Manual. If the league manager can do anything about it I hope he can lift it. I never been a league manager so I have no clue what he can or can't do.

well i'm a league manager on espn, and also play in another league on espn.

In the playoffs, i was the most threatening team of the last 4 remaining, and the league manager emailed saying ESPN is going to DQ me for an illegal Roster line up for having a healthy player sitting in my IR slot.

I checked history of the season and several owners still had injured players on their IR and never moved them and never got penalized.....so i don't know.

I tried to drop Chester Taylor who was a backup 15 mins before the game started. It gave me this message. No drop-only transactions until Monday 09:00 AM EST

My lineup was set and I wasn't planning on changing it or anything. I was just waiting as much as I could to drop a RB because the guy I was playing was thin at RB. I ended up picking Julius Jones up so he wouldn't snatch him up since I thought Marion Barber wouldn't get any carries and the carries would have gone to Jones. Thus making Jones a viable option for my opponent. I dropped Kolby Smith in another transaction at the same time and he ended up picking him up and ended up starting him. That's how thin at RB he was. For Christ sake he picked up Clifton Dawson. Who is he? A RB from INDY!

I wasn't trying to give him another potential starter and loosing because of that. So that's why I waited as much as I could before the game started.

I couldn't even pick up a player and drop Taylor because everyone who is a FA was on waiver claim until Wednesday.

now i dont understand what was illegal about your lineup.
I know if theres a limit on a position quantity, usually the website will automatically not allow you to add another of that position unless you drop one.

The limit is 4 RB's. I had 5. I know what you mean because I've tried to add other RB's at time and it wouldn't allow me to pick the player up because I had 4 on the roster already.
