in my haste I forgot to do the trades.

They will be in tomorrow's file, unless someone has an issue with that (cap issues or whatnot)

LR had a lot of moves this past sim, including some cuts, for a team without a GM.

2. League Contract Rules

2a. Yearly Bonus Rule For One and Two Year Deals:
The yearly bonus amount in one-year AND two-year deals offered to free agents cannot exceed the yearly amount of salary. Here is an example of a contract that is illegal.

Total Bonus - 8 million
Year 1 Salary = 2 million, Year 1 Bonus = 4 million
Year 2 Salary = 2 million, Year 2 Bonus = 4 million

The maximum total bonus allowed with those salaries would be 4 million (two million in year 1 and year 2).

This applies to Early and Late FA.

The bonus can't be larger than the base in EITHER year of 1 or 2 year deals.

Any contract that violates this rule will be voided during the next sim.

I think it's worthy clarifying even more (yeah, I've been in this league since 2005 and I still made a mistake last year)

I have to coach basketball and have to leave at 7:15pm. I will wait until about 7:10pm for someone to come forward with a new export

[Matt]

my guess is it's Argot

I have PM'd him

[Matt]

with this stage being important, I'm going to wait until i get back to run the stage. should be 9:15ish.

Hopefully whomever uploaded the wrong file will be able to rectify. for those concerned about my export, I'm team .007 and my file is on the server.

Hope you all understand.
