| We are now looking into revamping our whole league structure, protected lists, draft duration, etc. And I am sure alot of it has to do with the website actually being able to handle that format, although I am not very fond of this decision. Yes, the Defensive scoring is excessive, but it is for all teams and would appear to be balancing out. With that being said, why is it that we can't have Partial Lineup Submissions? The website will handle that. It's not like it gives certain teams any benefits. We have the technology to do this, so why wouldn't we implement it? I really think it sux that a team has to make a decision on a player on Thursday, when they don't play til Sunday, especially when these Thursday and Saturday games occur during a big time of the year. | |

| I've played in leagues on both sides of this and it does have it's advantages.. Especially when you have a couple different players going on Monday night and there is a late scratch of one of them... The key thing to remember is that if you have someone in your lineup and the NFL game starts, you're stuck with that player... I personally like the rule and would vote for it if it were an option. |

| I don't mind winning or losing, but why not give teams the oppurtunity to field the best team. It is really unfair to some teams when a Thursday night game, that you have no players in, forces you to make an educated guess on Mike Shannahan's thoughts. (or any other injury or coach). We have the technology and if you are that involved in your team to stay on top of these situations, and we all have the same ability, why not use it. It's not like we have a commish that has to log in all of the starting lineups like days past. And the biggest issue is that these early week games always take place during pivotal moments in fantasy football. If it makes the league more competitive, then it is a good thing. Would this generate enough interest to get passed? If so, chime in and let's get this done. Mark | |

| Though I prefer the "everyone submits lineups at the same time" approach, much of that is really just a holdover to the pre-web site days. Back then, I didn't want to have to hassle with taking lineup decisions from people throughout the weekend. Also, I worry about what happens if a person doesn't make a choice at all. I guess that means he simply uses whoever started the week before, but I fear there are hidden complications. Still, I'll put it to a vote. | |

| All leagues that use the feature, still revert to prior week's lineups if no decision is made. I really can't think of any possible problems with putting this rule in place. | |

| I am not sure I understand the poll choices. I am in favor of locking in players once thier games start. It seems that there are more and more gametime decisions and late information that puts players in late and Monday night games at a disadvantage, not to mention the weeks with Thursday games. I would also like to default to prior week's lineup if no changes are submitted. |
