Why? Why SHOULD that be the strategy? Why not just say once you have your team, you are able to do anything short of collusion to win?

Sounds interesting. I certainly didn't intend to say that there is zero strategy involved otherwise. Our league simply left everything short of collusion as fair game. Drop anyone you want. Pick up anyone you want. Trade away whoever you want whenever you want until playoff time. Start whoever you want. Bench whoever you want. If my point total is out of reach and I think I might get negative points for the whole week, I could bench my whole team.
In the NFL, if you want to play with 10 guys on the field, you're allowed. Same in our league. You want to play with fewer players than allowed, you can.

Again, that is an interesting scheme. Where is this league? This a Yahoo league? I'd be interested in this league.
This is not the Commish's job. This falls on the bum who was too lazy to sign in and update his roster. Hack.
