Some ideas for new assistant coaches:
cap specialist - team can go $5m over the hard cap
it's also possible in the software to let a single team go over the soft cap, but i'm leery of doing that
agency insider - GM gets info on up to X players they bid on (5? 3?)
could be just knowing they have the high bid, or knowing if anyone else has bid on the player. there are a few snags here:
-i might get annoyed by how time consuming it is
-if GMs receive info before deadline it's liable to change if someone else sends bids in
-if they receive it after we either have to delay FA or it's not as useful
so i'm not sure if we'll go with this at all
as always other ideas and feedback welcome!

Vote yes on Cap Specialist. Vote no on Agency Insider. I can see people getting creative and adjusting bids 5 minutes before deadline in order to force others into receiving incorrect information, so then the coach is almost a disadvantage (or we delay free agency and have to wait for said GM to adjust bids  ). More work for commish is the cherry on top. |

No to Cap Specialist
Yes to Agency Insider - do something like this:
12:30pm - Bids Due
1pm - Eric responds with insider info (or as long as it takes him)
1:30pm - re-adjusted bids due
2pm - FA is Run

what if cap specialist couldn't be used in consecutive years
so it would kind of function as the IRL repeater tax

However we have started a hard line stance when it comes to the draft. I see no reason that we cant do the same thing. You post the schedule pretty far in advance. If the person wants to spend the bucks on the coach then they just have to make themselves available during that time. If not then we move on and process FA. |

30 minutes has never been enough time for anyone to do anything in this league. Take, for example, user Majic , who refuses to address anything league-related after 6pm ET. With at least one free agency day every year being run at 8pm ET, this creates the potential for a problem. And all these hard deadlines serve to do is create friction between the league and an "inflexible" commissioner. |

And all these hard deadlines serve to do is create friction between the league and an "inflexible" commissioner. I have been very anti-list when it comes to the draft going back to my early 4.0 days. But with the recent change and incentive I have sent a list both years. People can adapt as long as its well posted. Eric very early on posts a list and easily makes the schedule known at least several days before the offseason. I think thats just the risk of signing up for that Advisory. Times are listed, if you want to pay for then you have to be available during those times. This is simply an add-on service to the league, I see no reason putting a certain time frame on it. Especially when those times are posted well in advance. |

It doesn't matter if it's a "nice to have" - if people screw up and miss a time because their dog unexpectedly had diarrhea, which they couldn't have foreseen two weeks prior, they'll complain about everyone's lack of flexibility. |

I personally think you are exaggerating this issue quite a bit. I was even one of the loudest complainers on certain topcis. Since our move to contract/expansion and a smalelr group I think we have had very few, if any, issues or complaints that have causes alot of controversy. Eric has implemented quite a bit of changes that havent had any issues. Additionally, we are talking about an add-on coaching position. I hardly think any of the GM's we have in here are going to be angry if they miss a FA re-post period due to their issues. When eric makes the post simply say: Times are posted, if for whatever reason you do not respond in the 30 minute time frame then FA will be processed no matter what. Making a clear, concise rule seems simple to me. |

DC rewards have been less of an issue, but were prominent shortly after contraction. |

What point are you trying to make? |

another thought i had
free agency maven
any team with a free agency maven can send a list of players in the order they want them in. after FA day 5, there's a "day 6" where each list receives their top remaining target on a one year minimum deal
not sure how i would deal with ties yet, any interest in the general principle though?

Seems fine but I personally don't think I'd ever use it. If the benefit is getting someone who wasn't signed for the first 5 days on a minimum contract...meh. |
