hey everyone, putting this in its own thread so it's easier to reference.

people did mostly good with their preseason DCs. i'm going to list out the most common mistakes. help me help you help yourself get the full +8 reward.
-misspellings, including asterisks. if you're at all unsure, just c/p the whole name from your roster page
-Injured Reserve. this has been a bugaboo for GMs since the beginning. you have to have exactly 12 players dressed. if you have 15 players on your roster, exactly 3 need to be IRed. 13 on the roster, exactly 1 IR.
-pet/nick names. Mo Pete and Hakeem are not players. Morris Peterson and Hakeem Olajuwon are. this counts as incorrect
-extra/not enough spaces. there should always be one space, not more or less. this counts as incorrect
-position eligibility. i was pleasantly surprised how infrequent these errors were.

please follow the right format and put FIRST AND LAST names for every player in every position. here is an example of a beautiful dc:

Do we just leave IR blank if we have 12 players rostered?

i should also add, this correct for reward only comes into play for day 1 and preseason DCs. during the season you still have to obey IR and eligibility rules obviously but you won't get a bonus for formatting so precisely

would it be easier for you if the rule was expanded for those that post preseason DCs?

my feeling is that it's more trouble than it's worth to chase down every preseason dc infraction. when one is messed up i don't put that much energy into solving it, just want to keep the process moving.
