6 game IR, $SMS and the playoffs

[theaardvark]

No Player shall be eligible to be placed on the Six Game Injury List after his Member Club has played its 15th regular season game. Any Player who has been placed on the Six Game Injury List prior to the Member Club's 15th regular season game will be eligible to be extended on the Six Game Injury List for the remainder of the season without penalty. Playoff Games and the Playoff Bye will be considered a game served on the Six Game Injury List. A Bye in the regular season will not be considered a game played.

So now I see the reason for the post season mention.

Any player on the 6 game IR before game 15 gets full $SMS protection, as long as they stay on the IR for the remainder of that team's season, or for a minimum of 6 games, including the DSF/Bye, DF and GC.

So, we still get full $SMS relief on Biggie and Neuf if they play the DF and GC, but not if they play in the DSF, as the Semi Final would be sixth game they'd have to miss.

We get relief on Woli even if he plays in the GC, but not if he plays in the DF

And we don't get relief on Streveler or Wilson if they play again this year.

And there you have it.

Simple.

Not sure why you switched the thread... but ya, that seems to be it.  Unless someone else has some interpretations.

I guess because SMS has to be calculated and cut-off at the end of every year the league can't consider 6GIR carry-over into the next season (i.e. 4 games at the end now, 2 games to start next season).

I guess the moral of the story is, don't get injured after game 16!!
