My pick is coming up soon...once I make it, I will get the league setup and will send around the league number.
Once the league is set up, WIS should automatically start a private league forum for us...but I forget how long that takes. Assuming it's relatively prompt, I will start a thread in that private forum for everyone to post their contract points. If it takes a little longer, we will use this thread instead. Either way, we will need everyone to have their contract points posted before we can start season 1, so please be prompt once that thread is started.
And, one final time, here are the rules regarding contract points:
Section 6: CONTRACTS
6.1 Contract points. Teams will be allotted 75 contract points per season. Once the inaugural draft is completed, owners will have to decide how many points to allocate to each player. Points equate to contract length (so 1 point means you will have the player for the current season only; 2 points means you will have the player for this season and next season, etc.). Each player must be assigned at least 1 contract point, including “Scrub” players (who can only be assigned 1 contract point).
6.2 IR Players. Years when players are on IR (i.e. not included in the WIS database) still count for contract point purposes. For example, say a player has WIS seasons in 1910 and 1912. If you draft this player in 1910 and want to keep the player through his 1912 season, you must assign him 3 contract points.
6.3 Annual updates. Each season one point will be deducted from the remaining term of each player’s contract. At the start of each season, all teams must be within the 75 point limit (think of this as a salary cap). Teams may start the season with less than 75 points, if they so choose. Teams may not add points to existing contracts. They can, however, release players prior to contract expiration.
6.4 Contract expiration. Once a player’s contract points have expired, he will be considered a free agent and will be included in the next draft pool.
6.5. Trades. When players are traded, their contracts are traded as well. When a team acquires a player via trade, they acquire that player only for the number of seasons remaining on his contract. Because of trades, some teams may find themselves with more than 75 contract points on the roster during the active season. Teams may go up to 80 contract points as a result of trades that take place within any given season. This is acceptable for the duration of the current season only.
