Effective 2012
Super majority needed to pass
Automated determination of salary cap raises policy The plan is accepted or rejected in full
A) The salary cap can go up only once in a 3 year priod. (if adopted the cap went up in 2010 it can not go up again until 2013)
B) 70% teams must be in Salary cap trouble for the current season for it to go up the following season
1) Salary cap trouble is having $3 or less in salary cap by week 10 of the regular season 2) Teams in salary cap trouble must also have not purchased 2 or more Active Roster FA or purchased one FA whose salary put them in Salary cap trouble in week 9
C) 70% or more teams must also have future salary cap distress for the cap to go up the following season
1) Future salary cap distress is determined week 10 by tallying up all players salary on roster who have 2 or more years worth of contracts if the total of the contracts salary is within $10 of the current salary cap. 2) $10 was determined as salary of the worst team in the league to sign his first second and third round draft picks (if none were traded) and a $1 free agent. Consolation pick was not a factor in determing this number.
D) If criteria in A, B, and C, are met the salry cap will rise $4 for the following season

I fail to see why the salary cap ever needs raised, if owners use proper planning. Sure there will be tough times, but that's the point of a salary cap league.

Not sure it does, however when you questioning everything when you first joined brought the idea up in my mind as an intriguing concept. so we thought it would be worth for the league to look at.
I am impartial to all these polls so vote your preference

I'm voting yes as it's better than ad-hoc rises.. But I agree with Glen that this is a fairly basic salary league and so the cap shouldn't really be increased at all as everyone has the same limit to work to, and it means using shorter term contracts to gain the flexibility.

I'm voting no simply because this seems to be more complicated than it needs to be. I'm all for raising the cap one more time but am against cutting breaks for teams in salary cap trouble. I knew what I was doing when I maxed out.

Not sure it does, however when you questioning everything when you first joined brought the idea up in my mind as an intriguing concept. so we thought it would be worth for the league to look at. My suggestion was only to attempt to avoid hap-hazard salary cap increases like what happened last year. That increase gave no advance notice so teams could actually plan for the increase. I for one would have operated differently last year, if I knew the cap was going to raise the following year. If teams were in cap trouble last year, then they did it with he full knowledge of what the cap was and what it meant for the next year. Although I fully believe there is no need for a salary cap increase in this league, one that is scheduled with advance notice for all parties to plan for is what should be done if there is ever a cap increase. Again... I voted no for the cap raise. I maxed out my cap this year with the full knowledge of what that meant, but I'm in the process of rebuilding a team I didn't chose with salaries that I didn't chose. I will likely max my cap out next year before the season ends was well, but it's not because I need the cap to raise. I actually need a time machine to be able to participate in the original draft to get a team I like with the contracts I like . Joking aside... It's a process to overhaul a roster and I'm using every dollar possible each year to make that happen, but that shouldn't indicate that the cap needs to be raised.

just a little more information about salary cap raises. I am not a big one for them. if this does not pass do not expect an anual poll about raising the cap. The one exception is going from year one to year 2 I feel it is in the best intrest of the league for people who own 1st and 2nd round picks to actually afford them and add them to thier roster.
MOst rules changes will come from our new ideas board. there whould have to be signifigant momentum in that board about a cap increase before it would make another rule change poll for an ad-hoc raise (that and this proposal will have to fail) that momentum would have to be from more than one or two active posters as well.
HI Sean I hear you and you may eventually get a cap increase but not this year. I went through last years cap increase poll and there were no comments from Charles or I that indicated we would raise the cap this year. There were commments from me about brining forth a proposal like this one.
