[Sigh...] I/we do not determine eligibility. The leagues maintain rosters of their players from the start of the season and/or if additions are allowed during the season. If additions are allowed, there may be a cutoff for playoff eligibility, or a player must have appeared in "X" amount of games to be playoff eligible.

A player's name on a lineup card does not mean s/he's eligible per the leagues rules/bylaws.

In fact, the five recreational leagues I work don't have lineup cards. When we get to USA invitational tournaments or state tournaments, lineup cards are required.
