0 Subject: RIHC 2010-11: Injury Slot designations

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Mon, Oct 25, 2010, 10:27

This is the sixth year we will be using the Injury Slot for the RIHC league, and I believe that some of the QLs are using that rule as well.

Here are the RIHC rules:

Three bench slots are available to hold any player. Two additional bench slots will be enabled, but are restricted as “injury slots”, hereafter abbreviated as “IS”.

An NBA player shall be eligible to fill an IS if he is listed in any “informed” source as being injured more seriously than “day-to-day”. Examples of acceptable information sources include (but are not limited to):
RotoWire
RotoWorld
RotoTimes
ESPN
NBA.com
Newspaper stories (citing facts, not speculation).

Once a player appears in an NBA game, he is no longer eligible to fill an IS, even if a published source fails to remove his listing. When a player is no longer IS eligible, the team shall have a limited amount of time to remove that player from the IS, as defined below.

If a manager wishes to move a player into an IS but cannot find a confirming source, he may request that the Commissioner approve the designation. The Commissioner shall use his best judgment in making such a determination.

If any manager believes that another team has improperly moved a player into an IS, he may file a protest with the Commissioner. If any manager disagrees with a Commissioner ruling, he may request a league vote. Six votes shall be required to overturn any Commissioner ruling related to an IS.

Each Wednesday, the Commissioner (or his designee) shall review all rosters to assure that any filled injury slots are appropriate. In the event that an IS is improperly filled, the Commissioner will notify the manager of the violation via the email link at the Yahoo site. The notified manager will have 48 hours to correct the roster or to provide a satisfactory explanation. If a breach remains uncorrected 48 hours after notice, the Commissioner shall have the authority to drop a bench player in order to bring the roster into conformance. The player dropped will be based upon the Commissioner’s judgment as to the best interests of the impacted team.

The Commissioner shall have the latitude to extend the time for curing a breach if he knows that the manager is unreachable and/or unavailable to make the adjustment.

No player which is in an IS slot may be placed in a starting slot on any day unless the bench has been cleared of that injury slot, or unless another player is eligible to replace that player in the vacated IS. In the event of a violation, the Commissioner may elect to void any stats generated by improperly activated player.

As before, no player may be picked up as a free agent and immediately placed in an IS. Free agent additions are only IS eligible 10 days after pickup, unless the player has appeared in an NBA game after the pickup and the IS eligibility occurred thereafter. The 10-day waiting period does not apply to players who a were added to the roster as part of the preseason draft.


This thread will serve as a central clearinghouse for IS-eligible players, to be used as follows:

1. Whenever a manager in any RIHC-related league decides to declare a player injured and eligible for an IS slot, they must first check this thread to see whether that player has already been declared as IS-eligible.
2. If that player has not yet been listed, then that manager must post a message declaring the player's status, and providing justification, with a link to a confirming source, if possible.
3. At that time, any member of any league may post a challenge to that declaration if they wish. If more than one challenge is submitted, then the RIHC Commissioners will post a decision.
4. If a player is persistently listed as day-to-day, that player may be placed on IS once he has missed five consecutive games.
5. If an IS declaration has been made for a player and has not been challenged, then any other manager with that player may accord that player IS status as well, without needing to post. In other words, only one (the first) manager needs to post that declaration.
6. When a player returns to action and is no longer eligible, someone (the original manager, a Commish, or any other manager) should post a courtesy note to that effect.


Commissioners will still need to perform a weekly review of their respective leagues to monitor compliance. If the Commissioner wishes, he may delegate this duty to another league member.

Kendrick Perkins- Perkins is nearing the end of his recovery from offseason knee surgery, but he still needs to get back into game shape and go through a few practice sessions with his teammates. If all goes well, there is a good chance Perkins returns, as he hopes to, around the end of the month(January) from Rotowire

From RotoWorld: Eric Gordon may have torn wrist ligaments and will be out at least 2-3 weeks according to early reports.

NBA.com writer Art Garcia, who has an excellent reputation, says this is the early word and that he could be out past the All Star break -- and that the 2-3 week time-frame is a best case scenario

Sorry, but I don't remember what's the rule. "O.J. Mayo received a 10-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy."

Can I move him on IS?

Andrei Kirilenko - F - Jazz

Andrei Kirilenko will not play vs. the Suns on Tuesday as he recovers from his sprained ankle.
Kirilenko is traveling with the team but should probably be benched in most leagues -- he will have a maximum of one game this week (Wednesday vs. Golden State).

Channing Frye will have an MRI Monday on his dislocated right (shooting) shoulder.
Following the MRI, the Suns are expected to release a timetable on Frye. Considering it's his shooting shoulder, owners should be preparing for the worst -- Rudy Gay was saddled with a four-week timetable after his right shoulder popped out.

Source: Rotoworld

As the treatment for even mild dislocation is immobilization for at least several weeks, this qualifies as more than day to day.

Williams has already been ruled out of Monday's game against the Pacers and Wednesday's matchup with the Cavs. After that, he'll be reevaluated. While Williams surely wants to keep playing, the Nets could decide that the better long-term decision is to shut it down.

David West carried off court in wheelchair

David West was taken off the court in a wheelchair Thursday after suffering what looks like a potentially severe knee injury.
Early reports are that he may have blown out his knee, which would end his season. New Orleans is currently fighting for a playoff spot, which means that if the knee is not too serious West won't be shut down. If he does return this season, he is likely to at least miss a couple of games.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili (quad) and Tim Duncan (ankle) will miss at least the rest of this week, according to coach Gregg Popovich.
The good news for Manu's owners is that he is reportedly feeling a lot better, so there may actually be some wiggle room with this report. One way or another, the risk of rest has been on the plate for owners since draft day, so now it's just a question of whether or not you can afford to hang onto him.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire (ankle, rest) will not play Tuesday and is not expected to play in Wednesday's regular season finale.
Stoudemire will rest up and get ready for the first-round matchup with the Celtics. His monster regular season will end with averages of 25.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks a night in 77 games. Meanwhile, look for Shawne Williams to start at power forward over the next two nights and get a ton of 3-point attempts up in big minutes.

Not that it really matters, but it allows me to drop Kirilenko instead of Stoudemire.
