Here are the guidelines regarding the cap:
- All teams MUST be less that or equal to $65m payroll by 4/1 of each season.
- If a team is over payroll on 4/1, the commissioner will go in and remove players to get the team under the cap. The drop methodology used will be cutting the oldest players (more expensive if same age) from the minors first. If minor leagues are exhausted and team is still over cap, the same drop methodology will be used on the active roster until team is under cap.
- Teams will be able to go over the cap mid-year to accomodate draft picks. They will be required to get back below the cap on 4/1 of the following year.
- Failure to comply with salary cap in 2 or more seasons, requiring commissioner intervention, will result in removal from league.
Addendum: When an owner is removed, the commissioner will promote, drop, players from his roster at his discretion, so this way the new owner does not come in with a non-optimal roster.
Commissioner will post/shame in the forum any team that is in violation of cap/removed for inactivity so the league can bid on any commissioner released players
