7.. We will have a 2nd type of Amnesty (mini amnesty) to help balance taking on contracted players.
7a. Regular amnesty can be used for 1 player on initial roster if it hasn't been used yet in RL(player can be bid on by teams under cap (7f), original team is responsible for remaining $) Teams have until roster limits take affect to use the regular amnesty.
7b. All teams will have 3 separate $5 mil deductions from cap they can use against a player's salary which will not count against cap(you can use up to 2 of these total in the 1st 2 years and a 3rd in the 3rd or 4th)
7c. If you use 7b amnesty on a player that will be due for a new contract you can keep amnesty for a total of 5 years
7d. Players amnestied using 7b will carry over to new team in a trade with original team being responsible for the amnestied amount for the duration of the 5 year period unless player contract expires early.
7e. You can only use mini amnesty on a player one time as they are non stacking
7f. 7f. Amnestied players (7a) will go into blind auction (24 hours) with only 1 bid allowed by a team(must be under the cap to make a bid) for that player(These players WILL be allowed to be traded). There will then be an additional 24 hours for teams not under cap to blind bid using MLE.
7g. Players won in blind bids will only be under contract for 1 year and then become unrestricted FAs

22. Buy Outs will be discussed with commissioner to set a price which will be counted against money spent but the full salary will count against cap unless picked up off waivers.
22a Bought player will have 1 day to clear waivers. IF player is picked up before that the difference in price will be deducted from cap hit of original team.
22b Bought out player can only sign for 1 season and will then become an unrestricted Free Agent
22c Bought out player can be signed by anyone after waivers are cleared by posting in the signing thread

1. I might want to mini-amnesty a guy who makes less than 5M per, so:
a) can I do that
b) do I put 0 or a - number for my cap
c) do I just subtract the amount, or do I not have that cap hit and he "pays" me (say I have a 4M guy, does the cap hit go to -1M or 0?)

2. How much of the buyout do we have to pay as expenses, and how much goes to salary cap? (re-read the rules and still can't quite figure this one out)

3. Can we use both regular amnesty and mini-amnesty?

4. You say we can use mini amnesty 4 times, twice in one year. Since this is only a 2 year game, what is the significance of putting that option in?

Thanks

$11,600,000.00 $12,400,000.00 $13,200,000.00

So I update my Roster and subtract $37.2 million from my $1 billion now or do I need to wait for approval on the amnesty?
