WOOF: Join an FOF MP League where the cap matters, and now with automated headlines!

Ben E Lou · 09-17-2009, 02:55 PM

The WOOF has one opening. Raleigh is available to be taken over immediately. For quite some time now, the World Order Of Football has been near the forefront of innovation in FOF MP, and we're there once again with a couple of things. First off..

MAKING THE SALARY CAP MATTER WITHOUT A BUNCH OF HOUSE RULES
The problem with finances in FOF MP can be boiled down to one simple matter: players do not request enough money relative to the salary cap. As a result, it's too easy to keep a team together, and Free Agency therefore just becomes an exercise in signing the guys that an absentee owner let fly. Well, we've figured out a way to fix that. You don't lower the salary cap or the cap increase range. Salary demands are relative to the cap, so that accomplishes nothing. However, if you assign every team in the league a significant amount of dead cap space, it's a whole new ball game. WOOF passed a measure just this week to do this. Every team will operate at 75% of the cap, and the great part is that you don't have to remember this. One of our tech gurus has created an exclusive utility that takes care of it for us. Come join us for a robust cap management experience.

AUTOMATED HEADLINES

Each week, you'll see stuff like this, completely automated:

:

WOOF GAMEDAY: 2018 Week 3

GOTW: Fuego Dump Gamblers 34-7

Randy Hastings throws for 397 yards and 3 TDs to lead Havana to victory in WOOF Game Of The Week.
Camargue Flamingos slip by Mountain View Spiders 9-6. Marlon McGovern passes for 229 yards.
RT Heath Anderson wins Player Of the Game honors as Ballas fend off Stuttgart Stallions 20-16.
Dominic Beckles top performer in Mexico City victory over Lappland: 30 for 41, 368 yards, 5 TDs. Aztecs drop Fightin' Reindeers 42-38.
SAV: Gerald Mathewson tosses 6 TDs
HAV: Jimmy Cote goes over 10000 Receiving Yards for his career!

Any time one of the following happens, it is posted automatically as a text headline in the forum:

Top 10 single-game stat performance
Major Upset (10-point underdog or greater...threshold easy to change if needed)
Major Injuries (threshold is quite a bit higher than the "injuries of note" bit...should only see big-time players getting hurt here)
Reaching a career milestone

In addition, headlines proclaim:

GOTW results with PotG
Marquee Matchup results with PotG

The headline text is quite robust, so it won't get redundant.

But other than this, we also can boast...

Extremely active ownership. Based on a look around the MP world, the WOOF has one of the highest post-per-day counts of 'em all
Experienced owners make the league very challenging. Here's a list of who is involved: Team List
Bells and whistles. Yeah, I've created some nice stuff for other leagues, but I've saved the best goodies for use at WOOF and IHOF only.

Sounds like a bunch of cheap bastard owners! Won't even spend to the cap!

Ben E Lou · 09-17-2009, 03:08 PM

Indeed!

stevew · 09-17-2009, 03:21 PM

Nice rule change. Definitely an improvement. Doesn't fix everything but probably as close as you can do on the user level.

Oh, I guess the looking for a good owner to join part matters also.

headtrauma · 09-17-2009, 03:21 PM

Wrong forum.

Oh wait, never mind.

stevew · 09-17-2009, 03:23 PM

Are all the other contract rules gone now?

Ben E Lou · 09-17-2009, 03:42 PM

Not yet, but I suspect that we'll end up dropping the last-year renegotation rule once the stair-step implementation (10%, then 25%) is complete.

stevew · 09-17-2009, 03:58 PM

Yeah, having a good team and being close to the cap would be interesting. The "cap out this year, cap out next year, cap out again...errrrr, shit, my cap is fucked armegeddon" would be a welcome change to the MP scene. And kind of a funny disaster waiting to see happen.

Ala Titans or Jags of the early part of this decade.

Ben E Lou · 10-21-2009, 02:33 PM

Bump. 2018 ends on Friday, and one team is open. 2019 begins the new salary cap implementation. Join us NOW!!!!

Being that I was in the later portion of Elementary SChool and then Junior High when Ben-Gay advertised on television a ton, you can only imagine how many times I heard "been gay long, Ben???? {giggle}" from various (ok...like every single guy I knew that was around my age is more like it...) peers. It never, ever, ever got old to them.

Ben E Lou · 03-10-2010, 04:41 AM

Bump.

We have two "soft" openings. (In other words, the owners are willing to keep tending to their teams, but if there are strong candidates who want in, they're willing to step aside, too.

WOOF: Palouse Hills Whirlwind 2020

WOOF: Savannah Fire Ants 2020

Ramzavail · 03-10-2010, 08:14 AM

The guy who is vulturing my team has done a good job with it so far.

Isacco Ubaldi

Kodos · 03-10-2010, 08:31 AM

Wow. Brutal division for the Fire Ants.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-10-2010, 09:25 AM

Wow, I hadn't looked at the WOOF in a while. So I see that my Cheetahs have moved to Ann Arbor, and they've actually had one playoff appearance. Movin' on up.

Last call to get one of these. We're about to make assignments.

Ben E Lou · 03-12-2010, 09:22 AM

To be clear, SAV is officially available now. PAL is still a "soft" opening.

BreizhManu · 03-12-2010, 09:38 AM

Could have been interested, not sure i can really handle two leagues though

Icy · 03-12-2010, 10:05 AM

Nice to see my old original team, the Toledo Sword Masters, still alive and using my old logo, i'll follow them from now. Too bad their only winning season was my first one, it seems to be one of the worse teams in the league history.

Ben E Lou · 04-03-2010, 04:45 AM

Bump. We have a *very* good team open in Memphis:

Don't steal my thunder.

PilotMan · 04-03-2010, 10:38 AM

I am happy to say that Grand Junction has gone from arguably a top 3 terrible team of all time to a much more respectable top 8-9 worst. Hopefully we can crack .500 in 20 more season's or so.

Ben E Lou · 09-15-2010, 08:58 AM

We have a rare opening in the WOOF. First one in over five months real-time.

WOOF: Des Moines Monks 2023

And the new owner gets to make the 1(1) pick.

We are now at the end of the 6th season with the full salary cap reduction. It has definitely increased parity in the league. Every contract that is out there is now under the new rules. In our just completed 2025 season, there were two teams at 12-4, and only five other teams with at least 10 wins. An 8-8 team made the playoffs as a wildcard. The stricter salary cap rules causes teams to have to make hard decisions each offseason. Much more realistic, IMHO.

Yep, we do still have these bells and whistles, and they are constantly tweaked and improved. There is even now a high level scouting page, to see a team's offensive tendencies. We've also done a bit more tweaking on the injury side of things. We were seeing that stadium referendums to improve the turf quality were hardly ever passing. So a decision was made to set all turfs that were 'Poor' or 'Fair' each season to 'Average'. Teams are free to submit requests for higher levels if desired.

Yep, we still have a strong core of active owners. Even on the last couple of sims of the season we had close to 90% export rate. But there will be at least one, maybe more, teams opening up this next offseason. The playoffs start tomorrow, so now is a good time to head over and see what the league has to offer. Hopefully you like what you see and consider signing up with one of the best FOFC experiences out there!

Man, if CHV gets an RB or CB, beware. With the crazy depth we had 2 seasons ago in the draft for RB, this could be their year to have a top 5 offense.
