This is the area where you will edit the rosters of the teams in your league and a team's basic information.

Edit Player Status: This is the page where you can change the status of a player on a team. This is where you can conduct current and retroactive transactions. The page shows all the current players and their current status. To change a player's status, click on the player's name. A screen will appear where you can update the player's current status. To edit a previous transaction, enter an effective date for the transaction and an end date for the transaction. To change the current status of a player, enter an effective date for a transaction. Our system will alter all statistics and league standings for this change with the next day's statistical update.

Edit Basic Team Info: This allows you to change a team's name, the name of the owner, his email and a team's division.

Add/Delete Players: This is the area where you can delete or add players. To add a free agent or a player traded to a team, add that player to a team's roster and indicate his status (active or reserve).

However, do not use this process to reserve a player or to take a player off a roster from a trade is made. Players stay on a team's roster the entire season. If they no longer are with a team, due to a trade or release, edit a teams roster and change the status for that player. There are two roster designations which indicate a player is no longer on the team, but he has stats that count toward that team's standing:(T) Traded and (D) Dropped.

Therefore, you should never delete a player from someone's roster because it will wipe out all stats compiled for a team during the season. If you want to deactivate a player, please only change his status. Only delete a player if he is on a roster in error and you want to delete all his stats for the entire season for that team.

Trades To trade a player and keep his accumulated stats with his prior team, you designate the player who is leaving a team as "T" and then you add that player to his new team (using the add/delete player area). Make sure the player added has the proper start date. If you do not want the team trading the player to keep his prior stats, then delete the player from that team and add him to the new team's roster. You can then choose to add stats from the date of the trade or the start of the season.

Player Salaries: You may enter a salary for each player on a team's roster. These salaries will show up along with the roster information for each player on the roster reports available in the League HQ. Take note: when a player is traded or dropped, salary is not saved.

Player Contract Status: You may enter a contract status for each player on a team's roster. The contract information will show up along with the roster information for each player on the roster reports available in the League HQ.

Offseason: At the end of the football season, RotoWire will email the commissioner of every league. Teams that want their league to stay listed on the system may do so.
