Test Salary League

August 06, 2010 at 08:44PM View BBCode

I've been working on some new code for the salary leagues and need some help testing. We'll probably run a draft and a few seasons before shutting it down. I need some people to signup, please signup if you have some time to help test over the next couple weeks:

I have it setup as a trial league for now, but I'll change it to a salary league once we get 16 owners. Use this link to signup:

Thanks,
Tyson

Unable to signup, when I try to verify it says "Invalid Verification Key" and loops me back to the log In page where the whole thing starts all over.

Don't worry about verifying your email.

I can't get in. It insists that my email hasn't been verified and it doesn't appear to send me one. When I try to go past without verifying it tells me that the verification is not working.

Thanks, I forgot I had set that up. You can't signup for a 2nd trial league team until your email is verified. For those of you in beta already, you probably got this message. I've shut it off, you should be able to signup now.

Odd, I have access to the Washington franchise of "trial3", maybe that's the wrong league ??

Wow, I'd forgotten how painful to rank a draft it was without "drag and drop" .

I can't get in. It keeps saying:
Thank you for your interest in the league Test Salary League. If you already have a Sim Dynasty account, please click here to log in. If you do not yet have a Sim Dynasty account, please click here to register.

then when i click to log in, it says "screen name not found."
Why is this happening?

I think you'll have to register if you don't already have a beta account .

Are the rules played the same as the regular leagues?

Are there special rules for salaries?

Are the salaries for the players?

Where can I find the Guide Lines for playing in a salary league?

How will the initial draft work? Can we see player salaries as we rank?
Admin

The salaries are based on player skill level and draft position, so you don't know them until after the fact.

I'll have to rerun the draft. The league filled and there is some code that needs to be run with the draft.

Will we have a chance to rerank the players? I didn't realize the draft was scheduled to run and never finished ranking them.

You are viewing the raw post code; this allows you to copy a message with BBCode formatting intact.
Something is incorrect in the salaries too.

For instance, A C player grabbed in the third round shouldn't have a 2.25 mil salary
http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=57575

These guys picked in the 3rd and 4th rounds need to be league minimum players.


Also, you've got it set so that players can select a 5 year contract for multiple draftees. Conceivably, they could assign a 5 year contract to all of their over OS28 draftees. This is an issue because the top players are generally going to get more in free agency than they are from their preset drafting.

That isn't to say that we should change the salary structure for these players, rather that we need to limit how many of these bargains a team can lock up for multiple years. In the beginning of the AML we allowed 1 5 year contract, 2 4 year contracts, 3 3 year contract 4 2 year contracts with the rest of the contracts being of the 1 year variety (and of course all the younger players would have through their OS28 season-we're just talking about the older contracts at this point)

Also I'm not certain the formula is working correctly. I haven't run the numbers but Rolando Shirley's salary is very high for a player not yet OS28
http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=56973

They tend to max out in the 3-3.5 mil range-even for players with Cy Youngs under their belt. This 5.75 for an OS26 just seems off.

Bart, for the initial draft of the AML, we used the OS28+ formula for players down to OS25 (or 26?), because of how many players were in which age brackets. I think that Tyson did the same thing with this test league.

Also, it was posted that we could only assign 1 5 year, 2 4 year, etc., I haven't tested it since I don't have that many players over OS25, but that may need to be looked at to see if it really lets you assign multiple 5 year deals or not.

You are right Ham, thanks I'd forgotten that.
barterer2002

August 10, 2010 at 02:58PM View BBCode

OK I did try it and got the following message

ERROR: You can only have 1 player with a 5 year contract, three with a 4 year contract, five with a 3 year contract, and seven with a 2 year contract.

There probably needs to be some sort of note on what we allow though as I can see that being an issue.
barterer2002

I do note that the undrafted free agents all have larger salaries. IMO all undrafted free agents over OS26 ought to have .5M salaries.
