There is an Injured Player Priority on the Automated Claim System. On Tuesday before Free Agency begins, if a team's starting player has been injured then they have first rights to that player's back up, even if they are currently the Highest Point getting team.
Injured Reserve Roster Spot:
You can use and abuse this Roster sport. Just like in real sports, it doesn’t take much for someone to be “Injured”. Since you only have 15 roster spots, you can use this as a spot to keep a player. However, typically this spot is indeed used for injured players.
Financial Roster Lock:
Teams that owe more then 10 dollars for Transactions will have their rosters automatically locked. You can pay for transactions easily online via the GOBFFL website.
Claims:
Claims work just like the Waiver Wire, except we don't process these automatically due to injuries, previously mentioned above.
