- First Offense
- Warning issued by the commissioner.
- Second Offense
- Removal from the league.
Replacement Managers
If a manager is removed or leaves during the season, the team will be handled in one of the following ways.
Replacement Manager

Replacement managers are not required to pay the league entry fee.
Vacant Team Management
If a replacement manager is not available, the team will remain vacant.
The commissioner will set weekly lineups before Wednesday night games begin.

No roster moves, trades, or waiver claims will be made for vacant teams.
