Expansion Protection List Disappeared

Historical league. Expansion year where the Rockies and Marlins come into being.

I looked at it right when first notified about it. Didn't submit it, since I wasn't certain what I was going to do quite yet with some pending free agents. So I just ignored it. Proceeding onward, arbitration time arrives, and it disappears from the ! urgent section of the MLB dropdown. Next day folks declare for free agents and I figure I'm ready to fill out my protection list.

It's not in the ! urgent section (as I mentioned above), so I go to my Manager's Office screen, and click on the Protected List link that is there. I'm then taken to an apparently empty screen. Images attached to show what I'm talking about.

I've also uploaded the league file on the FTP server. It's name is DEWFriends.lg.7z

This will happen with tournament roster selections as well. Basically if you view it, submit it, or have the ability to page back is the trick right now.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Maybe you're past that point already, but in the original case, it's because the rookie draft comes in and essentially "overrides" the expansion draft. Once the rookie draft has ended, then the protection list option will return. It's just a remnant of how we internally track drafts that that happens.
