Hi everyone,
This past weekend we had, for the first time that I can remember, a situation where due to not making lineup changes a team’s active lineup fell below the salary cap floor.
Our rulebook states;
The penalty for violating this rule is that the lineup change made is void but the GM will still be charged for the changes. In the event within the voided lineup change there are players that were traded/dropped, the penalty for failure to remove the player from the lineup will also be given.
With this in mind, I will add to this rule that a GM has to get over the $30M floor by the next lineup change or else they will be fined $20, which is consistent with or other roster/cap penalties.
I don’t like adding rules with out a vote, but in this situation I think its necessary in order to be consistent with our other rules.
Just a reminder that the active lineup cap is probably the most difficult to manually track for Giulio, it is not instantly updated, so it may take a few days to discover that someone is under the floor, but at the same time remember that everyone is responsible for their own team.
