Also, in League play, there is no forfeit penalty whatsoever for a MPR violation. The player(s) who didn't fulfill the requirement must start the next scheduled game and then fulfill the requirement before being replaced in the lineup.

Also, the rule is modified from the regular season. A player only needs 3 consecutive outs and 1 AB to fulfill his MPR, it's 6 outs in the regular season.
Like the rule or not - it's really not that tough to comply.
