There are two rules on the League home page that seemed to have changed, and I just wanted to clarify and confirm that they are different. The first rule that seems to be different I do not understand:

4-5: Team rosters are unlimited. CDMSBL, however, will pay for only 12 MSBL dues per team. 

*So it seems like the 20-man roster limit rule has been eliminated, and I don't understand what it means about MSBL dues for only 12 players. Does this mean that if we have more than 12 players on our rosters we are charged more money per team? If so, how much more per man?

The second rule that I want to clarify now allows A/B slots to be used in ANY position in the order. It used to be only in positions 7 and lower(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, etc.). Is this indeed the case?

5-6: Each General Manager may bat as many players as desired in the initial lineup with a minimum of nine (9). If a Manager wants to add players to the bottom of the lineup during the game, he may do so at any time. If a player is pinch-hit for, he may not re-enter the game as a hitter, but can stay in the game defensively or be used defensively at any time thereafter. A batter cannot be deleted or skipped over in the lineup, regardless of his batting position or when he was added to the lineup. As an alternative for adding batters to the bottom of the lineup, batters can be added in any spot and lower utilizing alternating at-bats throughout the game. These positions shall be designated in the scorebook as 1A, 2A, 6A, 9A ... etc. Any position in the order can utilize the A/B designation. They need not be consecutive.


Thanks, please chime in with comments...
