I believe thats the current rule in place. i dot think its fair to IIHF HO to discuss actual policy in media...but since its out here i think wed be better off if we set a hard date for lineups and if that nation ignores the 10 tags they get to submit a roster and its not due to an emergency (it being simply cause they didnt want to add it) they should be removed that season. im not 100% on this but i would guess that In the SHL if a GM doesnt set a lineup all year for non emergency issues) i got to believe they would be asked to resign no? .. should be the same here i believe.

Obviously most of these punishments don't apply for IIHF, but I'll pull a Tomen and quote the rulebook to cite the SHL stance on failure to meet GM deadlines

Quote:Other Offseason Duties:
1 day late on offseason duties being completed: Forfeiture of 1st owned 3rd round draft pick
2 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd)
3 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd) AND 1 mil cap penalty
4 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd) AND 2 mil cap penalty
5 days late: Dismissal of GM, forfeiture of 1st owned 3rd round pick (but retention of 2nd rounder), 2 mil cap penalty.
If a team doesn't have a pick in the appropriate round, the pick penalty is deferred to the following season.

yeah theres a hard stance on this issue on the SHL.  per my above...A think a good IIHF policy on this is to set a hard date for lineups, have those lineups looked at and denied or approved with time to correct any issues so we put forth the best possible tourny ... and if theres a nation that ignores the 10 tags they get to submit a roster and its not due to an emergency (it being simply cause they didnt want to add it) they should be removed that season.
