However, the commissioner will be allowed to enter lineups after this deadline if needed by using the Submitting Starting Lineups screen. As an example, if the commish enters a deadline of Saturday, 11:00pm EST, then each week any owner can enter their lineup from Tuesday at 7:00am EST until Saturday at 11:00pm EST. After that, each owner will be locked out from entering their lineup. If an owner does not enter a lineup, his lineup will default to the previous weeks lineup. If games are played earlier in the week (i.e. Thursday), the owners can make lineup changes up until game time for the players involved in the early games, but the owners will be unable to make changes to a player involved in the early games once his game starts.

As an example of how the Add/Drop works, if the commish enters a Add/Drop Start of Tuesday at 1:00pm EST and a Add/Drop Deadline of Thursday, 11:00pm EST, then each week any owner can submit a free agent pickup request from Tuesday at 1:00pm EST until Thursday at 11:00pm EST. After that, each owner will be locked out from submitting free agent pickups. On this League Rules screen, you can specify whether you must approve each pickup request. If the commish does not have to approve the pickup request, the free agent is put on the team as soon as the request is submitted. If the commish must approve the pickup request, then any time after the deadline, the commish reviews all the pickup requests and either approves or disapproves each one. This will then allow you to use whatever league rules your league uses to determine who gets a free agent if more than one owner wants him. For example, if the commish checks all the requests and sees that two owners want the same player, and your league rules say to give the free agent to the team with the worst record, the commish can then approve the pickup request for the team with the worst record and disapprove the other. When an owner selects a free agent to pickup, he also selects a player to drop. If the request is approved, the free agent is put on the team and the selected player to drop is taken off the team. Note that no matter what deadlines are entered, it is not possible to enter pickups or drops from Sunday 1:00pm EST to Tuesday, 7:00am EST.
