Alright, so we had a few teams go over cap this off-season headed into the regular season. I know Yanks is still over, but I'm giving him a little slack, because I want to see what everyone thinks about this.
Okay, so our current rules are:
1. If you go over the cap during the season for the first time, your highest paid player will be benched on the scoring site by the commissioner until the team is under the cap. The Commissioner will PM you.
2. If the team hasn't gotten under the cap by two weeks after going over it, your entire team will be benched and you will be given a loss until you are back under the cap.
3. If the team hasn't gotten under the cap after a month, the GM will be removed of the league.
First of all, next off-season, we will NOT be allowed to go over the cap room to ANY extent. It was a dumb idea on my part that wasn't well though through. So this would just be in play for this year. He's my system:
One Penalty: If a team has not gotten under the cap by 2 weeks, that team will have the player that has a salary closest to the difference in the over cap penalty will be removed from the team and placed in free agency. If that player is paid MORE than the team was over, the team just has extra cap. If the player was NOT enough to bring the team completely under the cap, the team will have to cut prospects until they reach the limit.
How does that sound to everyone? Please vote.

HOW ABOUT just cut the players that are closest to the difference until the situation is resolved.

That's pretty much what the new rule is....

I think you should buyout the player. Make the team pay 1/2 of the total contract. If the team is $12 over the cap, you find the player whose buyout is around $12 and buyout that player. Otherwise this could be used as a free cut.

I like the old rule as I am a proponent of a HARD CAP, meaning at NO TIME should you go over your CAP and if you do then 24 hours to get back under (trade or drops) and if not penalties kick in. We're all experienced GM's, for a team to still be over the CAP is crazy.

I like the idea as long as we make sure Google Docs are accurate. Again, I may be at fault here, but my personal roster hasn't quite matched up with the official one for quite some time now. I think that in those cases, if the owner has a personal roster that says they're under and the official one says otherwise, it is discussed prior to a cut being made. This way, if for some reason a commish makes a mistake (hey, it happens to everyone), the owner isn't penalized for it.
