| 2. | What is the purpose of the taxi squad?
Answer: The taxi squad is a general placeholder for players on a fantasy team, but not on the active roster (and therefore, not eligible to be a fantasy starter). The taxi squad players are reserved by their franchise and are not part of the free agent pool. It has many different uses by different leagues. It is also known as the practice squad.

| 4. | Owners cannot perform taxi moves due to Roster Position Limits - How can I correct this?
Answer: This occurs when you have Roster Position Limits too strictly defined. The system enforces roster position limits at all times, so, for example, if you require two QBs on your roster, and you currently have two, and you try to demote one of those QBs to Taxi, the system will prevent you from doing that because it is enforcing your roster position limits.
To correct this problem, you will need to either reduce or remove your Roster Position Minimum values on the For Commissioner > Setup > Roster Position Limits Setup in order to allow players to be demoted to the taxi squad.

| 6. | Why can I not deactivate an eligible Taxi player after their game has kicked off?
Answer: If you have an eligible taxi player on your roster then depending on his lineup status you may not be able to demote the player. The players are locked into the lineup based on your lineup deadline as set on the Setup > Starting Lineup Setup. If you have "Early" or "Kickoff" then players are locked into the lineup at that time. If you have "Gametime" then the following applies:
If the players game has kicked off and he is in your starting lineup you cannot demote him.
If the players game has kicked off and he is a non-starter you can demote him.
Additionally, If on the Setup > General Add/Drop Setup you have
Prevent Owners From Making ANY Roster Moves After Kickoff Of That Player's Game Until The End Of The Week? No
Then you can demote a non-starter or promote a player on Taxi at any time, regardless if their game has kicked off.
