V. Rosters

1. The maximum roster is 18 players.

2. The Commissioner shall have the final say on all roster and position eligibility questions once he has solicited input from the owners, if needed or requested.

3. Players that are officially listed at multiple positions by their NFL team may be drafted at either position, but must remain at that one position throughout the NFA season (Exception: known multiple position players may be assigned a single position prior to the draft -- see Article V.2)

4. The team defense/special team is considered as a single player.

5. There shall be no injured reserve slot on the roster.

6.  Roster changes, or "Drop/add":

A. Roster changes may be done once per week, up to a maximum of two requested changes per team per week.

B. Drop/add requests must be submitted to the Commissioner, preferably via e-mail, no later than 9 p.m. EDT Thursday weekly.  On weeks in which there is a Thursday game, the submission deadline shall be Wednesday at 9 p.m.

C. Drop requests should include a prioritized ranking of no more than five players to add. In the event that no listed players are available, then the original player is kept.

D. In the event that two or more teams request to add the same player, the priority shall be given as follows:

                                    iii.             Most starting total points allowed

                                    iv.             Lower first round draft position

E. Every team's first drop/add request of the week will be considered before any team's second requested drop/add maneuver, and so on.
