Following the offseason, the league has handed down the following sanctions for violations of free agency rules:
Jrk1d - Removed from the league for multiple violations including 5 year contracts and violating the salary cap maximum. jrk1d admitted that he bypassed the rules because he really wanted to sign those guys. Unfortunately, we just cannot tolerate that blantant disregard for the rules. We understand honest mistakes, but ignoring the rules for a competitive advantage is never allowed.
rkjones217 - Demoted from the VIP league for multiple violations surrounding offseason transactions. Rian is a great guy and we are happy to keep him here with the dev league. At this time, his life is such that it is hard for him to keep up so we mutually agreed that is the best option. He will finish out M16 in the VIP and move to the dev league starting with M17.
woodsmall12 - Has been suspended for the first two games (will go on auto) of the upcoming season for multiple violations of the free agent rules. Shawn is a first-time offender and his errors were in calculating signing bonuses. Honest mistakes but enough of them were made to warrant a suspension.
As always, an even and competitively balanced league is what we are after. This is just a necessary step in that direction. Please make sure to pay attention to the rules and ask if you have questions. We are here to help.
