That's still confusing. My understanding is that it doesn't override the actual roster designation listing him as a National. It only has to do with him being able to replace a Canadian for a certain number of reps.

No, the NA (not DNA!) has nothing to do with reps and everything to do with the roster.  You need to start 8 NATs, but 1 "NAT" can be a NA, a vet-IMP who gets to be a FAKENAT (my made up term).

The reps thing is a completely separate issue.

The NA thing basically never comes up because every team has plenty.  Almost no teams even specify who the NA is on the public depth charts.  However, I'm sure the Super Cereal Secret Game Day Roster handed to the league specifies who the NA is.

Seems like we go over this every year     

IMHO NA is dumb, DNA is dumber, it's all dumb and the new commish could have done a great service by ditching it all on day 1 instead of killing the 55.

Ok, so it's pretty much a useless designation. As I've suggested before I'd like a National and Non National as the only 2 designations.

I'd scrap the Global designation and add 2 DI's allowing global players to fall into that designation. That way global players can make the roster but without the convoluted separate category.
