Rules:
1) Major League
A) Initial Contracts
In the inaugural draft, you will have $1000 dollars to bid on players. A player’s salary will be decided by how much the player was purchased for. With the roster size being 25 players, this will work out to an average of 40 million a player. Whatever you bid on a player, that will be his salary (multiplied by a million). For instance, if you bid 21 dollars on John Tavares, his salary will be 21 million dollars. It is up to you to decide how long the player will be under contract for. You will choose 5 players to have a 5 year contract, 5 players with a 4 year contract, 5 players with a 3 year contract, 5 players with a 2 year contract and 5 players with a 1 year contract. Those are the only options you have in this league.
B) Trading/ Trading Deadline
you are allowed to trade any combination of cash, major league players, as long as it does not violate the league regulations. For instance, you cannot trade into the hard cap.
C) Post Trading Deadline
After the trading deadline, you are still allowed to make trades, though under some conditions. This is modeled after the NHL system. If you want to trade a player after the trading deadline, you put the player on the Waiver Wire. I will send out a league email saying the player is on the waiver wire, and teams will respond to me with their claim. The waiver period is 48 hours long. At the end of 48 hours, the team with the highest waiver position will be awarded the claim. From there, you are free to deal the player to that team, though note that in a multiplayer deal, all players need to pass the waivers. If no team claims the player, then the team who waiver the player can trade him to any team in the league. After a team has made a claim, they revert to the back of the waiver order.
D) In-Season Free Agency
All FA will be signed for 1 year contracts. We will use a Free Agent Acquisition Budget. The budget will be from 1 dollars to 1000 dollars per year. To acquire a free agent, you submit your offer, and the salary for the player you picked up is the amount you bid for the free agent. For instance, if you bid on a player for 5 dollars, the five million dollar contract would be added to your payroll, raising you from $1000 million to $1005 million.
If you drop someone to pick up a free agent, the player’s contract will still count towards your payroll, unless he is picked up by another team, in which the other team will pay the salary. However, for as long as the player you dropped is on the FA, you are paying his salary. For instance, when you add a 3 million dollar player, and you drop Mike Green’s 5 million dollar contract, they are still both on your payroll of $288 million until a different team acquires Mike Green.
E) Salary Cap
While you start out with 1000 million dollars in contracts,
F) Offseason Free Agency
All of the 5 players you designated to have one year contracts will be Free Agents. For all of the players on FA, we will have a new auction. Here’s how the process will work. All free agents will be divided into tiers. Each tier will have a signing period of 1 week. All of the players in Tier 1 will be posted on a google doc. Say Cam Wardn is a free agent. Team A posts a starting bid with a year amount and total salary. Let’s say that this is 4 years/96 million. Now team B posts below the offer, upping the ante for 4 years/100 Million. This process will continue until the deadline expires, and the highest bid is rewarded the player.
H) Franchise Tag
Each team will get 1 franchise tag per offseason to apply to one of their FAs. A player can only be franchised once. His contract will be 1 year and 150% of his previous year’s contract. For example, if you have a player who made $10 million the previous year, his contract will be 1 year/$15 million for the upcoming year. If the salary is an odd number, the franchised salary will be rounded up. For example, if the pre-franchise salary is 1 million, the franchised salary is 2 million. If the pre-franchise salary is 3 million, the franchised salary is 5 million etc.. Also, you are not allowed to franchise a called up prospect either on your minor league team, or picked up from waivers. You are allowed to franchise rookies/prospects from the draft because they have a legitimate salary to franchise.
