DRAFT
* The league will start with a team draft.
* After the first season we will have a draft from 2024 and move forward from that with mostly real prospects.
* International players may be included in each draft and will not be immediately available due to their international contracts. International players are signified by one or more asterisks - one for each year until they're eligible. If you draft an international player you must put them on IR until they are eligible and they will not count against the cap. Once they are eligible to play they will have a normal rookie contract and will be treated as a rookie.
SIM SCHEDULE
* Two preseason sims will take place before the regular season. These will be 10 days each and injuries will be turned off.
* Regular Season sims will be almost every day and consist of 5 days per sim. At that pace the regular season will take around 4 weeks to complete.
* Each playoff series will be simmed in two days. Three games the first, and the remainder on the 2nd. At that pace the playoffs will take just over 1 week to complete.
* Offseason activities will proceed at a schedule determined by the commissioner.
SALARY CAP
* Soft Cap is $150,000,000.
* Hard Cap is $200,000,000.
* You can go over the hard cap after day 60.
* Each million over the soft cap costs $50 in lux tax due before the start of the following season.
PENALTIES
* If you are unable to pay the luxury tax at the end of the season (due before the first regular season sim of the following season) then you are unable to spend cash for the next season for any reason other than paying luxury tax. You are also unable to add any salary other than draft picks. This includes resigning your own players. A team with luxury tax penalties that is under the soft cap can add players freely.
* If you are over the hard cap during days 1-60 of the season you have 48 hours to get under with no penalty. If you are still over the hard cap after 48 hours you will have your best three players put on the IR until you get back under. You will also lose your next 1st round draft pick. Note that having three players go on IR also invalidate all foreign players on your team and they will be forced to go to FA. You are allowed to be over the hard cap in the offseason and after day 60 in the regular season.
* A team will be fined $50 cash for each posted trade that does not work. Salaries must match if teams are over the cap, picks must belong to the team trying to trade them, all players must end each trade with between 12-15 players. You are subject to a fine if these conditions aren't met. There is a trade calculator on linked on the trade board, there is no excuse to make sure your trades don't work.
* If you illegally camp someone then the camps are rolled back and that player is not eligible for additional camps that year. The player is also not eligible to earn cash for that year.
* If your team submits a depth chart with players at ineligible positions I may edit the DC automatically with no warning if I notice. If the ineligible players are at PG and your team does not have enough eligible PGs on the roster I will cut the handling of the ineligible PGs in half with no warning. I will return the handling to normal if and when they are removed from PG...if I remember.
* If you ask me or any bank helper to investigate something wrong with your team bank and it turns out that nothing is wrong with your bank you are charged $100 for the investigation.
* Other fine-able offenses. Spamming the forum to pad your post count. Being a dick to someone unnecessarily. Creating extra work for the commish or any helper.
* If you spam the forum your posts will be manually edited down by a substantial number.
* Publicly talking about or sharing specific attributes from scouting requests may lead to a small fine. Fines will increase if the same GM has multiple offenses.
* Paying real money for any sort of sim league advantage is considered collusion and will lead to both team's immediate removal from the league.
TANKING
* All teams must start their best players, obviously that is subjective but you are not allowed to stash good players on your bench while you tank for a better pick.
* You cannot cut your best players in an effort to tank.
* If you bench your best players your DC will be auto'd.
* If you want to try to tank, trade your good players away.
* You are not allowed to sign the worst players in FA.
PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY
* Don't be a douchebag.
* No personal attacks ("You are dumb" is not ok "That was a dumb trade" is ok).
* Don't take it personally if someone doesn't like a particular move you've done or the direction of your team. Opinions are encouraged in this league and you shouldn't get offended at someone's opinion.
* There are no penalties for breaking these rules but lets try to be civil to each other in general and hopefully there won't be any issues.
GM of the Year
* GM of the Year will be voted on after the playoffs start and before the Finals start.
* GM of the Year votes will be PMed to someone who will tally the results. You cannot vote for yourself. Each ballot should have 1st/2nd/3rd votes. 3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd.
* To be eligible to win the prize for GMOTY you must vote in both this years vote and last year's vote.
* Any GM of the Year prizes that are not claimed by the end of the following season are void. Eligible prizes are as follows:
- Buyout 1 year of any contract
- Add 1 year to any rookie contract at 15 million
- Any player 22 or older gains +10 potential
- 1 free team improvement camp (regardless of requirements)
Activity Requirements
- You must post at least 1 full and legal depth chart at the beginning of each season.
- You must make your draft picks or send a list for picks in the lottery.
- You must send FA bids if you have more than 5 mil cap space.
- You must login to the forum at least once a week unless you have posted in the Leave of Absence board.
- You must pay your luxury tax and be in the positive at the end of the season.
If you do not do one or more of these things then you may be replaced as GM.
INTERIM GMs
* Interim GMs can make trades, but all deals are automatically subject to committee approval. The committee will make sure these deals are "fair" unlike other deals where the committee is trying to prevent collusion and protect the integrity of the league.
* Interim GMs are responsible for setting DCs, resigning players, signing FA, drafting players, and camping players.
* Each season one player drafted in the first round can get two free improvement camps if posted by a valid interim GM.
* Each season one player drafted in the second round can get two free improvement camps if posted by a valid interim GM.
* If there are no first round picks eligible to be camped then the interim GM gets a free $1000 in other misc camps to improve the team.
WAIVERS
* There are no waivers in this league and never will be.
