Default Re: Cap considerations

Another reason not to change from the current Frenzy scale of ~583 per player (17,500) is that if we do go with 20,000, it means we'll have to rework all the formulas and numbers for the rookie draft that we already have established for IOP's, as well as the entire bonus structure, and of course the RFA tenders and compensation we have in place already will have to be adjusted as well, That's a lot of work IMO (work we did over the first 3 years in the Frenzy to get it right (or close to right).

As for the comments on an even playing field, yes, the Frenzy guys will have a decent understanding of the player valuations, but at the same time, our bidding and rosters in the Frenzy for the past 4 years as well as the current season are an open book. As Skip so abtly noted, SAC'D teams will be able to jump right over to the Frenzy boards to see who's selling for what, and who's overpaying / underpaying a guy. What some of our ceilings are, who we like in the draft, etc. The playing field will be leveled in may ways as a result...
