[IBL] week 11 transactions (PLEASE READ)

[Sean Sweda]

Since it appears that there is some confusion about the transaction  
deadline and the terminology used when describing "late" or "emergency"  
transactions, here follows a brief explanation:

The transaction deadline is 11:59pm Pacific time on Tuesday night.  This is  
a hard deadline for trades and free agent signings.  Teams are allowed to  
make activations/deactivations after the deadline if they are still waiting  
on results from the previous week and/or to correct mistakes.  These are  
technically the only transactions that are allowed to be "late".

We also allow "emergency" transactions.  The key distinction is that an  
"emergency" transaction is something that would ordinarily not be allowed  
but an exception is being made to avoid an illegal roster.  For example,  
teams are allowed to activate a player after only 1 week of being inactive  
if that player is the only one on the roster whose activation would result  
in a legal roster.  If no player on the current roster can fulfill legal  
roster requirements an "emergency" free agent signing will be allowed after  
the transaction deadline.  This is the ONLY time a free agent is allowed to  
be signed after the deadline.  Another kind of "emergency" transaction is a  
mid-week activation per rule 4.1.1 of the Constitution.  The KEY  
REQUIREMENT in all circumstances is that the "emergency" transaction MUST  
be necessary in order to fulfill legal roster requirements.

Finally, be aware that the weekly transaction email does not distinguish  
between "late" and "emergency" transactions.  In the email "late" simply  
means any transaction processed after the transaction report was generated.
