1838 Team Salary Cap Figures

Young Drachma · 01-19-2013, 08:38 PM

The $100m cap is replaced with a flex cap that gets determined by a modest formula. I can spell it out for you:

Spoiler

But you can see it here in a Google Docs spreadsheet

I listed the playoff shares for each ballclub on the season thread already. But this year's total playoff pool was $67,511,399. The champion gets 48%, the runner-up gets 23.5%, the two LCS losers get 8.75% and the two elimination series losers get 5.5%

In CPR years, those figures are lower.

Here's total revenue for 1867 by team (includes playoff bonuses):

$40,152,250	Memphis Smokers
$37,340,250	San Diego Fathers
$19,522,250	Portland Thorns

PROFIT/LOSSES
Total revenue minus your payroll figure for the past year, determines your profit/loss for the season. Playoff bonuses are factored into this final calculation.

Code:

St. Louis Aviators	$26,990,246
Gettysburg Gomers	$445,997
Columbus Crusaders	$9,365,329
Wyoming Plowboys	-$7,536,050
Denver Crows		-$5,967,250
Winnemucca Lake Monsters-$6,170,750
Brooklyn Titans		-$563,423
Las Vegas Aces		$1,965,497
Cuyahoga Spiders	$1,564
Chicago Hornets		-$3,790,550
Washington Grays	-$3,812,250
Lake Tahoe Syndicate	-$3,034,250
Kauai Emeralds		-$1,344,250
Rio Grande Rough Riders	-$1,552,500
Carolina Kings		$1,175,731
New York Skyliners	-$580,425
Cleveland Laborers	$1,327,400
Memphis Smokers		$3,267,250
San Diego Fathers	$1,175,250
Portland Thorns		$4,437,250

You win a title and you make a pretty hefty profit (like real life should work) but if you don't, but spend like it and you'll pay the price in your cap the following year. Which should reign in profligate spending, in theory. Even more than guaranteed contracts managed to do.

So your profit/loss is added (or subtracted) from $100 million (our base cap) to give your team's cap figure for the next season.

Based on your projected payroll (meaning if you released people in the upcoming file, I won't have that noted here) for next year, here's how much free cap space you have.

FREE CAP SPACE 1868 (Based on projected payroll)

Code:

TEAM	FREE CAP
St. Louis Aviators	$10,490,246
Gettysburg Gomers	-$54,003
Columbus Crusaders	$37,165,329
Wyoming Plowboys	$2,463,950
Denver Crows	-$2,267,250
Winnemucca Lake Monsters	$11,329,250
Brooklyn Titans	$44,836,577
Las Vegas Aces	$17,365,497
Cuyahoga Spiders	$32,901,564
Chicago Hornets	$29,109,450
Washington Grays	$33,087,750
Lake Tahoe Syndicate	$23,265,750
Kauai Emeralds	$45,755,750
Rio Grande Rough Riders	$62,547,500
Carolina Kings	$87,575,731
New York Skyliners	$60,519,575
Cleveland Laborers	$74,927,400
Memphis Smokers	$65,167,250
San Diego Fathers	$62,075,250
Portland Thorns	$92,337,250

You can trade that just like you would've before, it's just easier (for me and you) to track all of that junk now.

You can see how all of the sausage was made in this Google Docs spreadsheet (You'll see a column for Merchandise. We're not using it yet. Maybe someday. I was thinking I wanted to give money to teams for their highest WAR player or some such.)

So all of this might seem complicated, in theory, but this new system should really help teams at the bottom and reign in spending and keep things even more competitive.

And inevitably, there will be tweaks as we get into and discover stuff that makes sense.

I really like this direction for the salary cap. Good stuff.

Subby · 01-20-2013, 09:10 AM

Way better than a flat cap. Nice job.

YD, I know its nothing big, but my Free Cap is calculated wrong in the spreadsheet. You have "N4–Q5" for the formula in that cell.
