Thanks to Gary for doing the initial wave of research for this report. After reviewing his results against various disputed usage situations during the season (there were only a couple, thankfully), here are the findings:

 

First off, the following SPB V teams did not incur any overusage during the 1992 season:

Atlantic City Vultures (Al "Doc" Schweitzer)

Beach City Dukes (Tom Kackley)

Carolina Lighthouse (Steve Brunner)

Chicago Zephyrs (Terry Baxter)

East Kenosha Leopards (Dave Lauer)

Frankfort Hot Dogs (Gary Plunkitt)

Kitsilano Hedgehogs (John Saunders)

Lafayette Red Sox (Steve Ehresman)

Wabash Rivers (Bill Lanke)

 

Congratulations to these managers.  Job well done!

 

The following teams have had usage penalties forgiven because they are experiencing change in ownership:

 

Dexter Dreadnoughts

Phoenix Phantoms
