For use by commissioners in Yahoo fantasy basketball, hockey, and baseball leagues.

Also as a Greasemonkey userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/160819

Program does the equivalent of "Start Active Players" for every team in your league; however, players are added to starting line-ups based on their 7- and 14-day "Actual" rankings. Apply rosters to one or more leagues at once. Apply rosters to one or more days at once. Options for Rotisserie leagues.

DETAILS:
Program is a modified version of the following program (Autosort Future Lineups - Yahoo Fantasy Sports: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/155299).

An example league for baseball will be here upon season start: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/92743. One time per week the starting line-up for every team, for that respective week, will be updated so that even managers who are inactive will possess teams with some measure of performance.

The motivation for the program is having been a part of leagues where commissioners will on occasion bench every team's players, in an effort to weed out managers who are not editing their line-ups. An alternative to this approach might be to occasionally update every team's roster to ensure that every team's players are active, up to a certain period of time in the future.

Program will only run in the leagues for which your account is considered the Commissioner.

The program uses the "Edit Rosters" tool found on Yahoo's "COMMISH TOOLS" page:

http://[sport].fantasysports.yahoo.com/[sport]/[leagueid]/editrosters
http://[sport].fantasysports.yahoo.com/[sport]/[leagueid]/[teamid]/commisheditroster
