Own a Team Q & A

[roc]

This is the thread to post any questions you may have.

Bottom three teams from each conference -

As in-

Bottom 3 at the time of sign ups ?
Or
Bottom 3 that do not get chosen from sign ups ?

[roc]

At time of sign ups

[MadNESS]

So:

Magic, Sixers, Knicks in the East
Jazz, Lakers, Wolves in the West

That changes a lot on who I will go for.

[roc]

Indy is playing Orlando today so if Orlando wins Indy would drop to bottom 3

So we are starting from scratch this season and not going off previous games.

Yep

Both this v4 game and v2 where you own LA Stars will return next season though.

How will the expansion Draft order be determined by record, random etc.

[MadNESS]

I recruited some guys from AIM I think....

I will send out mass emails to old players later tonight.

Let me know what assets of the game you need help with Roc (if any) - your usually the best organized / ran commishioner ever. (I just won't tally rankings - I absolutely cannot stand that ).

Can't wait to get this rollin'!

Roc - I combined you first three posts in the sign up thread, so that we can see the actual number of sign ups in the post count.

Hope you dont mind, - just a quicker reference for me to see where we are at...

[roc]

no worries... I did change the abrasive red font to a more soothing blue though

[MadNESS]

Mass email sent - over 150 former players invited.

Chuck - WHERE YOU AT?

What does the tax pool mean? How does the tax pool work?

What does the tax pool mean? How does the tax pool work?

1. There are fines for posting trades with rosters not updated, etc (these fines escalate each time)
2. Money paid to buy out coaches to make way for new ones
3. Luxury Tax (this is the biggie)

Those add up and make a pretty decent sized chunk of money that gets divided among the Owners that stayed under the salary cap.

Ready to play OAT after sitting out Pct. of the GMAT last year.

Is it a standard one or two round Draft whoever is left over is a free agent.

Contraction draft will be 1 round - whomever is picked will cost their full contract. Undrafted players will be FAs that can be signed for 1 season at $1,000,000 (no rights). You can only sign one FA like that per 6 hours starting at the end of the Draft.

Is it first come first serve on undrafted players from MIN, NYK, ORL, LAL, UTAH, PHI?

Yep

Once it is open but only 1 player per owner every 6 hours

[Ralnor]

Do we have cash to spend on buying out players, like GMaT?

And for the 'undrafted' players from the draft, do we need cap space or can we spend a million of "our (Owner)" own money?

Also, would we need roster spot to sign those undrafted players and when we draft someone in the draft?
