The question is for the league in signature. It's our league's 4th year and I feel we have a parity problem. The GMs don't want to reduce our keepers and I think a good way of evening up the playing field would be to have a salary cap.
1. What is a good salary cap number for a 11 team, keep 23 league?
2. How would you implement a salary cap in an already up and running league?
3. How do you adjust the cap every year?
My first thought would be to ask GMs to be within the salary cap in a 3 year range. ie. if the cap is 100M, the GMs have to be within 150M the first season (150%), 125M the second season (125%) and then within the cap the third season.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
The first step would be to make sure that your GMs are on-side with implementing a salary cap.
Being a good Commissioner is about making sure that the league rules are what the the league wants.
Adding rules arbitrarily is how you get into the situation Coyote is in - whether you think it helps the league or not, your GMs need to vote on this first.
