It's week 13 and playoffs start week 14 in my league . As commish I need to be able to lock the rosters of those teams that are eliminated from playoff contention to prevent them from adding/claiming/cutting players. This prevents an irate GM from blowing up their team and dropping their best players because they didn't make the postseason. It also ensures that free agents and players on waivers are available to those that are playing for something and are not being picked up by a team that gains nothing by modifying their roster.
Our league has done this every year and it always seems to be a necessity. I don't see an option on FleaFlicker to accomplish this. Kindly advise / recommend / provide alternatives.
Commish can remove the owner's of teams that did not make the postseason then delete their teams from the league. All their rostered players will be put back in the free agent pool so to prevent teams in the playoffs from picking them up commish can create a new placeholder team owned and maintained by the commish and import all their players to the new team. In my league the new team for whatever reason was in the playoff bracket and was top seed so the commish also needs to re-seed the playoff bracket.
A couple of downsides though. All the statistics from the deleted teams are lost for good along with the rosters so they obviously can't be referenced in the future. Also, Team > Future Picks may no longer be accurate. These are the complications I noticed, there may be others.

Easiest way to fix this is to be able to edit the can't cut list. Lets go FleaFlicker!

Here's a workaround although it's not pretty.

Like I said, it's sloppy but viable.
