Poll: Which do you prefer?

Won't begin until 2013.

We cannot have both so it's one or the other and since this impacts smaller market teams the greatest we'll let them decide.

Revenue Sharing:

-31% of every teams revenue is put into a pot then divided evenly amongst all 30 teams. The teams making the most money put more money into the pot and vice-versa. The teams that made the least amount of money put less money into the pot. We calculate the net difference and add or subtract the cash from your total.

-In order to prevent teams from going negative we'll closely monitor the projected net loss a team may experience when we do IFA's and we'll process this right before winterball/free agency so teams will know their cash situation heading into the season.

Budget Cap

-Instead of getting cash we limit the amount teams can spend on their farm and medical settings and we increase this cap every year.

Voting ends when we sim to ST.

I vote revenue sharing.

But can we crunch some numbers roughly to see how this would flush out?

Thanks DJ....I feel like, given the significance of farm investment on player development, the percentage may even need to be higher than 31% for me to be comfortable completely getting rid of caps. This result for 2012 isn't going to save Florida or Pittsburgh from getting completely screwed by New York, Boston, LA, etc.

I agree but I also voted for caps on budget. I honestly would prefer putting a cap on total cash a team can have since IRL the biggest benefactor of extra cash at the end of the year is the owner.

Honestly though, if we start going any higher we're asking NY to keep a constant cash flow of 45M every year. Essentially all that really does is force his payroll budget down by 50M...I don't see it working at a higher percentage due to the simple fact we can't realistically expect teams to keep that kind of cash flow in place. It would amount to nothing more than a salary cap for some teams.

A cash limit isn't a bad idea either.

I would stick with how we have things now frankly.
