Pre-Season GMAT: Discussion
Posted: Sun Oct 13, 2013 12:11 am
All discussion here. No sign ups yet. Posting this thread to share and discuss new ideas.
Rules:
1.) All rosters must be completely up-to-date before trades will be approved. See roster thread for more details regarding what must be included in your roster post. I will be super strict with roster pages. You will not be able to trade If your roster gets out of date.
2.) Trades will be approved right away as long as they meet all roster/CBA requirements.
3.) I reserve the right to veto trades as league manager should I feel the trade is collaboration. There will be a new system I will be implementing on vetoes. If I feel a trade is game threatening bad, (or I receive 5 emails from other GM's) I will create a new thread with a voting poll for it. Veto or not. The league will decide as a whole. You will not flood the discussion thread with bashing and hate against the GM or GM's. You will send me an email. That is all.
4.) In this "veto" thread each team will have ONE - 150 word post to state their case, as to why it shouldn't be vetoed. These cases should be taken into consideration when voting yea or no to the deal. Once the thread is up, it will be left open for 24 hours. At least 70% to get the deal vetoed. This will be the only discussion about the trade. That is all.
5a.) Money will be in play this game. Each team starts out with 3,000,000. Buyouts will be 500k more then the total salary.
6a.) Salary cap is set at 60 million, luxury tax is set at 75 million, and the hard tax is set at 100,000,000.
7.) Free agent contract limitations will be based on the CBA.
8.) Teams must spend at least 75% of the cap during the “regular season.”
9.) Draft order will be based on submitted rankings and then the draft order will be done through the RealGM Lottery Simulator.
10.) Final game rankings will be based on how much your team has progressed from beginning to the end. This will be a general ranking system as which many are used too. This is Gm a team not own a team. Simple = better.
11a.) You may only trade picks four years in advance, so 2018 max. We are playing until 2014 this game.
11b.) There are no restrictions on picks traded.
11c.) All trades should state clearly protections involved.
11d.) All protections must be listed on picks, even future picks.
12.) In order to be crowned winner, full write-ups and rankings must be submitted.
13a.) Failure to give me proper notice that you need a replacement will result in a suspension from these games for one game after this one.
13b.) It's up to the commish of the next game to enforce this rule.
14.) I reserve the right, as commish, to add rules as I deem fit to protect the integrity of the game. (which I will be finding new to add shortly.
15.) If you loose a FA in Free agency, you will not quit. You will not complain, and you will continue playing the game. If you get a trade vetoed, you will not quit, you will continue playing and you will finish it out with full write ups and rankings. If so, you will not be able to play the next game as well.
16.) FA will be fair. I will not go by highest dollar value wins the player. It will be determined on how the player feels. Ray Allen will not sign a 3 year deal with the Bobcats at 2 million per, but rather sign for the minimum with the Miami Heat for one year. It will be realistic. It will be money first, fit second, but fit will be weighted higher then usual. I hate seeing guys go to rebuilding teams because they have more cash. Thats not how it works in real life and not how it works in THIS game.
