Today at about 12:15pm (central time) I picked up a player in an open league off the waiver wire.  My game was simulated at about 12:20 and the player I picked up had an at-bat in the game!  I thought the lineup was final at 11am (central time)? Whats the gig?

I've made lineup changes seconds before the game simmed.  There's no deadline, as far as I know.

I believe that's true as well.  You can make changes right up until the game actually sims.

The KB only recommends that you make lineup changes before those specified times to ensure that your change is in effect for the next game.  Making changes right up until game time is still OK, though.

You don't know precidely when the game will sim, though, so don't cut it too close!

The transaction deadline is precisely 11pm CST. I learned that one the hard way thinking I had until the am game to make a change. Nope!

Don't feel too bad because even though my transacation deadline is 12 am EST, I've still mistakenly left starters in AAA BEYOND the deadline several times. lol
