The Salary Cap
Fast Break Basketball uses a Salary Cap on team salaries. The purpose of a salary cap is to prevent certain teams from signing every player that they want with no regard to salary. By default, the league salary cap is set at $40,000,000
There are some exceptions to the salary cap:
*A team can always offer a player who played for their team the previous season a contract starting with at up to 120% of the salary the player made the previous season. The player may receive up to a 10% raise each year in the contract, and the contract can be up to 6 years.
*Each team has a mid-exception and a low-exception that it can offer players. The mid-exception is a one-season contract for $4,500,000. The low exception is a one-season contract for $1,200,000. These may be forfeited due to salary cap penalties.
*If a player has gone three full seasons without changing teams via free agency, they are considered to have Bird Rights. A player with Bird Rights may be resigned by his previous team without any restriction from the salary cap. The number of seasons a player has gone without changing teams via free agency is reflected in their Bird Years.
Salary Cap Penalties
Going over the cap is allowed, but don't go too far over. Here is a list of the salary cap penalties, based on team salary numbers at the start of the playoffs.
1- 25 million over, No Penalty
25.1 to 35 million over, no MLE or LLE and loss of a 2nd round pick.
35.1 or more, no MLE or LLE and loss of 1st and 2nd round picks.
-The picks are given at the offending GMs discretion. All picks lost to salary cap penalties will be given to the worst teams in the league. Salary Cap Penalties will change as the league grows older.
-Picks given cannot be from the impending draft. For example, if this rule had been in place this year, no 2012 picks could be given. Next year, no 2013 picks can be given.
-From now on all forfeited picks must be within the next 10 years.
The Hard Cap
-The Hard Cap will start at $80,000,000 (twice the Salary Cap). Once you go over you have 48 hours to get under. If you do not comply you must forfeit all picks in the next 2 drafts(which must include at least 2 1sts), and you will also lose a player to waivers. You will also lose your MLE and LLE, and all FA privileges (even Bird rights) over the next 2 years. If you do not have 2 1sts over the next 2 years, I will take 2 1st of my choice. If within the first 20 days of the season, the picks will go to the worst team from the previous season.

I dont see the point in having to give out penalties at two different stages. 5 Million is not a big difference. Just keep it at 80 and add another pick to the HARD CAP to make it stricter. Also, bad teams will still be getting rewarded. I dont understand the logic in that. It's not realistic and since when does mediocrity get rewarded. Just stupid. This whole system is geared towards helping out bad teams. No one should be gettin rewarded. This should be a sim where people obtain things not given to them.

35.1 or more, no MLE or LLE and loss of 1st and 2nd round picks.. this would equal 75 since cap is 40 right?
Then hard cap is at 80.
I mean no offense but i think this whole system is flawed.

Its flawed because the amounts are too close together? The reasoning is because I want spending to be low, I want teams to be below 35 mill. I dont see why its flawed really.

I actually quite like it. It means you can go up to -25 with no penalties. But after that you get penaliezed in various amounts. To me it keeps all teams under that -25 threshold.

Dont want to seem like a whiner but I'm inclined to agree. I think taking picks if you wanna do that is ok but maybe they should just be forfeited. Everyone in draft order moves up a spot maybe. Dont know why the worst teams should get rewarded for the other teams cap problems. Or maybe instead of penalizing picks give offending team choice of maybe 2 highest salaried players on the team to be placed on closed one shot bid FA block if they cant make deal to get under in a sim cycle time frame. Teams that only are under the cap can bid. I dont know, hell it's just an idea. I agree about not just giving picks to bad teams though.

Keep it this way, bad teams should be able to get those picks, and people being over the cap should be penalized, whats the big deal. you break the rule, you pay for it. deal.

i like the worst teams giving picks because it helps those teams a lot of the team need some value (that they get from the picks) to get back to being competitive

Im still not exactly sure what the argument is here? I mean if it isnt about the pick compensation going to bad teams, whats the problem?

To me, I think there should be a very strict hard cap, Where there should be more of a penalty. Like lose all FA priviledges and shit like that. Cuz Teams that are good, will go way over hard cap, its not like they care about MLE/LLE/Or their shitty 1st, to me thats where the flaw is.

That makes sense. I just never heard that argument once in this thread. Ill make the Hard Cap more strict.

Giving out picks to weak teams is something you should do in a weak league with weak gm's. I think BBS is past that point. I could live with the way the penalties are dished out but giving out picks is stupid. Its just not realistic. It gives an unfair advantage to people. How can this league be truly competitive if hand outs are given out. That's for newbies.

It's a perfect penalty for not respecting the rules of the league when you build a team, and it helps level the playing field.

I like the idea of parity, which is why the picks go to bad teams.
