Good plan, but why the five day deadline? If the objective is to get it right, it doesn't make sense to arbitrarily lock in a significantly wrong number just because it went unnoticed for more than five days.
We thought the very least each participant could (and should) do would be to check the raw data on their team(s) before diving head first into the mosh pit. The farther away from roster lock date the more impossible it is to recreate historical data. And, by the start of the 6th day, we knew we would be busy moderating free agent bids, trades and (eventually) the draft. You want to volunteer to be a Moderator?

Just changes are necessary to post. I just chose, like some others to list my teams here instead of scribbling on paper at home. The choice/responsibilty is yours.
Ok. I'll definitely post my final roster but I'll probably just keep it on a notepad at home till I'm done.
The Chicago Bears are cutting the following players Kyle Long - (Placed on Reserve/Retired status.) Dead Money - $1,500,000 Cap Savings - $8,100,000 Adam Shaheen Dead Money - $609,639 Cap Savings - $1,270,980 Ben Braunecker Dead Money - $150,000 Cap Savings - $1,468,750
Might I suggest editing this per Underdog's post and just put him on "Reserve/Retired" status. The financial effect is the same but . . . If he changes his mind, you still own your rights to him.
Noted. Though I think the odds of him changing his mind is in the negative percentages. Bears add Kyle Long to Reserve/Retired list.
