Player acquired cost = salary ÷ 10 x (days left this period ÷ 7) In other words, you pay for the player for the rest of the week no matter what. If you sign him, you pay him for the rest of the week. Edit--Simpler might even be better. It could just be we have to pay a guy something like one-third of a week's salary when signed. Some people might cry foul for late week signings, but if you want him you should want him and be willing to pay the pittance even if you don't get much from him for the week. I suggest one-third of a week instead of one-half for a couple reasons, but primarily because that's the average time you'd get to play a guy for the week. The most you'd ever get is six days of play due to the timing of events, and if you sign Friday morning waivers you wouldn't get any days of play for the one-time fee.

Although again, I don't think either of these solutions address the issue of someone signing up for a bunch of teams and dismantling them. The salary solution only impedes excessive rentals during the season. Updated Friday, July 17 2020 @ 9:24:16 am PDT

To Team Ownership It is PROHIBITED to have more than one team so that there are no conflicts of interest between teams and so there are enough teams available for other players], and so that no gaming of the system, nor unfair advantage gained. Which I believe most agree and adhere too. Bottom line: It's not in the 'spirit' of the game Jim Updated Friday, July 17 2020 @ 10:02:41 am PDT Updated Friday, July 17 2020 @ 10:03:14 am PDT

Some people on here seem to think players can be swapped from one team to another without effort or risk which is not the case...for those that do not know, any player released from a team goes onto waivers for which any of the 756 teams can put a claim in for (although I get the impression that BOT teams do not do waiver claims so perhaps only the 570 ish human-controlled teams can do waiver claims....perhaps someone more experienced in the game knows for sure)

Edit: I wonder if the "Kings" didn't like my reign of terror reference?!? And Canada was settled by the French too! Woof.

If Steve is fine with people registering 10 teams, at the least he can put some code in place to prevent horse trading between those teams. Its somewhat ironic that I brought up Bingham as a promising player in the other thread. Bingham was one of a number of players that Taylor received from Kingsport, Brandon, and other teams all owned by the same player. Updated Friday, July 17 2020 @ 4:42:41 pm PDT
