More problematic, however: the language does not address the Romo situation at all, which is a bid made in Week 13 that would normally carry into Week 14. What rules apply? Who is eligible to bid? Who is elligible to win a bid? Then, add rule 9B to 12G above. When does Week 14 start - first game kickoff or before that? And why do non-playoff teams have unfrozen rosters until the kickoff of Week 14 games?

Jim's solution addresses the issues perfectly and I think should be formally added to the rules.
Burt... this issue is whether or not IN-SEASON FREE AGENCY has a Saturday @ 11:59pm EST deadline like it does at the end of PRE-SEASON FREE AGENCY. Based on the part of the rules that talk about POST-SEASON bids STARTING on TUESDAY of playoff week, I'd say that was also the intent here.

So I made an executive decision based on the Romo situation. I PM'd all owners who had at least one bid on the current Romo thread, letting them know about the 11:59pm EST deadline tonight.

We'll add it to the rules revisions... when we change the 4-team playoff section, too! ;)
