[USML Announce] Roster Eligibility Clarification

[RICHARD ROBBINS]

You are basically right.  Here is the text of Section 4.3 of the
Constitution.

Any player on an American League team's major league roster or disabled
list may be acquired in the Auction. Minor league players and unsigned
players are not eligible for acquisition in the Auction. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Auction shall be held before the opening day of
the baseball season, (i) all players on an American League team's 40-man
roster on Draft Day (or on a different day prior to Draft Day as the
League, by general agreement, shall determine) will be eligible to be
acquired in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status and
(ii) any player not on an American League team's 40-man roster on Draft
Day (or relevant different day) will not be eligible for to be acquired
in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status; provided,
however, that any non-rookie who is under contract with any American
League team will be added to the pool of players eligible to be acquired
in the Auction if any USML team designates that player to be added to
the pool by Roster Freeze Day.  Any player who is purchased in an
Auction that takes place before the opening day of the baseball season
will begin the season with Year One contract status, even if the player
is not on a USML team's Active Roster on the opening day of the baseball
season.

I was talking to Jeff about this, but thought we should be clear
league-wide.  Players eligible for the draft will be those players on
40-man rosters *who have not been sent down to the minors* on the day
before we draft.  Is that right?
