Important question and/or notice.. I'm assuming we're still using the old house rules regarding 2-year contracts? Matt?

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.

Something appears to be wrong with the host. I can't login to ftp or manage the host via GoDaddy. I'll give them some time to fix it before I bother calling.

Figured that since we have quite a few new owners, this needed to be highlighted.
