Last call, we've starting bidding with two/three open teams. Here are the two available teams:

First come, first serve.

There's a third team that's probably open ("Amish Mafia" if you head into the league finances page and want to look up their roster), but their cap situation looks ugly at the moment because they released some players with gauranteed contracts (all contracts are). We have a salary relief process - once the players he released are signed elsewhere, the cap hit is reduced by the amount of his new contract - but it still doesn't look good and the new owner would have to wait until those guys sign elsewhere to free up the cap room (or sign those players back himself).

Cap penalty example:
1) WR Roy Williams, DAL - Signed for $20 over 2 years, 10/10
2) Released, contract stays on books as a cap penalty
3) Roy Williams signs with a different team for $16 over 2 years, 8/8
4) Original team's cap penalty drops from 10/10 to 2/2

And just to quickly explain the salary caps, we do a yearly one and a total committed, to keep teams fairly balanced and protect them from drilling their own teams into the ground. Committing your full $100 yearly caps out four seasons right away would give you an awesome club this season, but likely a terrible one in years 3 and 4. So we prevent teams from doing that by capping total committed at $250 instead of $400. Works out pretty good.

Were doing an entry fee of $50 this year, but some of that is refunded on top of your winnings if you don't spend all your cap money. ($1 in game = 50cents real life).

• Teams have a salary cap, and players are signed to contracts between one and four years in length.
• Free agents are signed through a slow, silent auction that takes place over about three weeks on our league forums.
• Rookies enter the league through a two round rookie draft at the end of the free agent process.
• Flexible starting rosters, with one of each of the following: QB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR/TE, TE, K, DEF
• Basic yardage scoring with 1 pt per 25 yards passing and 10 yards rushing/receiving. 4 pts per passing TD, 6 pts per rushing/receiving TD.
• Each team pays 50% of their team's payroll into the prize pool. With the yearly salary cap at $100, that means the most you will pay is $50, but you can pay less by fielding a cheap team.
  • But first year owner you have the option to not pay your first season. You don't earn any winnings, but you don't have to pay for a half a team you didn't assemble.
