Each GM will have to decide on the need for backup for injury replacement in playoffs - making sure those players also have 20 or more games during regular season.

Use of an ineligible player would result in automatic loss of a playoff round.

Thanks to everyone for voting, and hope all are cool with thenew rule.
OKP - great if you can update league rules on page 1! :)
I'm sorry to be the first one to have a problem with this, but...
I try to play the minimum number of players in a given season. If I were to make it through the season without an injury, and then have an injury in the playoffs, I could not substitute in another player, as none would be eligible.
So I can either choose to have a player who I sacrifice a year (or more if I make the playoffs consistantly) of career time so I can have a back-up for the play-offs, or I play in the play-offs short handed.
This is the situation I have been mentioning in most of my posts on this subject. I really believe we need to address this.
