10% Overage on Cap (Off-Season)

[PigsRule]

Per my PM to all owners...

The standard practice in FNHL during the off-season has been a 10% overage allowance on the cap.

So if winning a free agent puts your team's salary over the 2013-14 cap of 64.3m but doesn't exceed the 70.7m overage limit, you are fine until the 1st game of the regular season.

The more bidders the merrier! Bring it on guys! LOL

You do realize giving teams more cap to play with is like handing them more rope to hang themselves. At least for some guys. LOL

Given the salary cap dropped significantly from 70.3m to 64.3m it's good for all teams to have extra cap to make the needed adjustments they need for the upcoming season.

Also keeps FA bidding interesting. That's the principle of free market economics.

  reminder to all... but make sure if you go over the cap to get back within the 64.3m cap before the transaction freeze period.


you all know where to check league deadlines.

Also remember, teams can use the 10% salary overage during the off-season but need to have sufficient roster spots available to sign players (ie. cannot exceed 30 MLR spots).

Please note, by the start of the season your team needs to comply with the 2013-14 FNHL Salary Cap limits. LINK
