I screwed up and I want to publicly apologize. A few days ago I adjusted my player weights especially for offensive and defensive line.

This was loaded into all my leagues and I've been making some roster changes because of it. Before game 13, I cut 4 inactive players (QB/DT/DE/DE) and signed 4 new players (DT/DT/DE/DE) and in my rush to alter all my rosters, I ignored the impact these moves would have on my ST Rusher depth chart.

The consequence is that a WR played ST Rusher and blocked a punt. It was unintentional, the WR wasn't in the depth chart but my mistake was I only had 3 players active on my depth chart.

Although it wasn't intentional, I violated the rules and will pay whatever penalty the admin Deems appropriate. I've talked to VCR and he has been a gentlemen about the situation but the bottom line is being a moron isn't an excuse.

I broke the rules

SORRY

First of all, thanks for your honesty. VCR did not contact me about it, so this is the first I'm hearing of this. The block didn't result in a TD so I would have never known otherwise. Second, I remember you commenting in another league about changing your player weights.

The no punt block exploit rule is designed to prevent intentionally using the speed exploit. This was obviously unintentional.

I'm inclined in this case to say no harm, no foul, but if enough league members feel differently, I would have to revisit this.

in my opinion its fine as cfred self policed on this ,in my time during my football now think you and cfred are least likely to exloit any rules intentionally.this was an oversite that he can rectify and maybe a lesson for us all to keep on top of things.

I figured most everyone would be fine, just want to be sure. It is a good reminder to all to periodically check your depth charts.

So far it's 8-1 for no sanctions and the 1 vote for sanctions was CJ so this is a dead issue.

Now it's 12-1 against sanctions, about what I expected. Thanks for voting and not making this a huge issue, so now we can get back to concentrating on our playoff push. I'll probably lock this thread now as it's purpose has been served.
