HK Salary Cap (Everyone Read)

But seriously haha

The infected teams have players that we could not negotiate with during the season, is that going to cost us a waiver "pick up" just to get the guys back on our team?

Who are the "untouchable" guys? Have not seen this list posted anywhere...

I think that there needs to be an updated list, I saw Cutlers name out there as being a FA. He is going on the dont touch list along with half of my other starters that I couldnt sign.

To be honest, this hasn't been the most straightforward process. I'm not sure why one would expect another to look in the game scheduling thread for roster related info. Also, I don't remember being tagged in any of these posts which make them very easy to miss. It doesn't appear that I violated any rule but I can see how some would.

Also, there are a lot of untouchables for some teams. Is it realistic to expect each of those players to re-sign with that team and all of them to fit under the cap?

I know it's a difficult situation and you guys are doing great trying to sort it out. It's just not as transparent for some of us new guys that aren't used to looking in inordinate places for certain info. ; )

I submitted one but it didnt seem to make it to bobs list. And it should be somewhere that is on the front page. Cutler, Lorig, Hester, Tillman, were not supposed to be FA.

Same here...

Got it... I think...

Apparently you felt attacked by that which was not my intent. What I means is that if you want to communicate something to the league that everyone needs to be aware of then tagging each member of the league so they are alerted to that post seems like a good way to ensure nobody misses the info. Also, posting roster related info integrity game scheduling thread makes it easy to be missed. Maybe that's the way you guys have been doing it and that's fine. Just keep in mind there are some newer guys and they may not think to look in a non-traditional spot for information like that. That's all in saying.

Like I said, you Gus are doing a feast job trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. It's an unenviable position and one were going to be faced with in the VFL soon I'm sure.

Damn auto correct lol

This isn't the VFL, you're in HK now.

Not sure what your point is. I'm the commish in the VFL still so...

What does that have to do with anything he said?

Ok, stop for crying out loud with the backhanded comments.

This is just how it is. Scheduling thread is where we, amongst other leagues, post what the newest portion of the season is. The next part of the schedule is open if you will. It is where you're suppose to go to see what is up with the advances of the league and get information. It's always been like that.

Unfortunately, this is the hand we've been dealt right now. It is pretty simple to follow and has been laid out in other threads.

1. If you can't bid, you should've had a list of players that would be put on the untouchable list.
2. If you can bid, you should know who is on that list and who you can't bid on. If their name is on the list, don't bid.
3. Make sure you're paying attention to your salary cap. Don't spend more money then you have.

Thanks Cimmy24. I will make it a point to check the game scheduling thread for advance related items. That clarifies things more.

Is there a cliff notes version of all this offseason stuff? Offseason for Dummies?

Don't Bid on the guys on the "Don't Bid on these Guys" List.
Don't Bid more money then you have available.
Don't Cut without posting in the given thread.

Well, keep in mind that not everyone has done this for awhile. I think some of the guys forget that not everyone has been here since day 1. Some of us are new to HK and/or have played in leagues that do things somewhat differently. I'm not saying that is right or wrong. I'm simply providing feedback as to how the process comes across to newer members. Premier league or not, everyone shouldn't necessarily be expected to read every thread in every sub-forum to ensure that they do not miss a rule. FWIW, there are some guys that appear to have been here for awhile that seem a bit confused. I'm not trying to to be argumentative, I'm just saying that things have been slightly confusing and it has been easy to miss some things as they've been laid out to this point.

With that being said, cimmy and some of the other guys have made it known that we use the scheduling threads to handle all things advance related and anything pertinent to that week's advance. That should make things easier to follow going forward now that we know where to look.

As far as the tags, I have a notepad file saved with each member's name and the @ sign in front of it. It comes in really handy any time you need to make sure all the members of the league need to be alerted to something. Just simply pull up the file (mine is saved as a shortcut) and then just copy and paste. Not saying you guys need to do that. I'm just making a suggestion that has made things easier for me and one which alleviates the "I didn't know" complaints.
