[USML Announce] USML - Draft Day 2011 and related information

Tue Feb 22 15:57:45 EST 2011

Andy,

I'm certain we didn't increase the size of the reserve rosters in the 
past.  And it wouldn't address the issue of the 23 extra players 
available in the auction.  The whole idea of adding the extra UT is to 
do exactly what you apparently don't like, i.e. impact position 
scarcity.  But the only impact would be to keep position scarcity as it 
would be with a 11 team league.  It wouldn't make it worse, it would 
simply maintain the status quo.

I am pretty sure that in the past we added players to the reserve 
roster, not the active roster. I would favor doing that, but not 
changing the active roster. I especially don't like adding a UT, which 
impacts position scarcity stuff on draft day.?
