S17 PRE-SEASON LOCK-IN POST GUIDE

[Talon]

Below you will find the instructions for how to lock in for the pre-season.

Be sure to follow these guidelines to avoid confusion and/or mistakes that could lead to Thunder.

[Talon]

Step 1:   Be sure you have a 53 man active roster.

If you have more than the 53 man roster (allowed during this period), you will have to be sure to make players inactive in order to have a legal 53 man roster for pre-season.    If you have a 60 man roster, 7 players must be inactive for the pre-season games.   These players will not play on game day but will still train/practice/work.   

REMEMBER: you will have to cut excess players prior to locking in for Week 1 of the regular season, so use this time to evaluate talent wisely.


When you lock in for Pre-season you should list your inactive players as such:


INACTIVE
1. Drake Maye
2. Omarion Hampton
3. Cedric Grey
4. Power Echols
5. John Copenhaver
6. Kaimon Rucker
7. Tez Walker

STEP 3:  Adjust game plan (if desired)

You see your game plan in your team sheet based on your lock in information, if you do not adjust that strategy, it will be set to what your team sheet says.
