When the season draft is over every team must have a starting lineup on their roster. If not they will not be allowed to make add, drops or make trades.The league will undo any moves made until the roster is fixed.  If add.drops have not started you can call the secretary to make the needed change for you. What you need to do: Be at the draft, send pick list to another owner or league.
