More House Rules

With regard to the house rules thread, I'll provide some of the "house rules" for my "Even the Braves" dynasty.

1) No free agent can be signed for more than $5.3 million/year. This eliminates most of the superlative free agents. However, a free agent can be signed for up to $5.6 million/year on a roll of 1-3 on a d10 (ten sided die). One can reroll, however, every three game days.

One can sign a free agent for any price on a roll of 1 on a d10. One can also reroll every 3 days if one doesn't get a satisfactory roll. This rule, however, should not be abused.

2) Revenue sharing: currently, my "Even the Braves" dynasty has a primitive form of revenue sharing:

a) Revenue can only be taken from the largest spending team in the American League and the largest spending team in the National League. Second-place spenders are not affected.

b) For calculation purposes, one takes the larger of the following two values as team salary:

- team salary before Game 1
--team salary immediately at the end of the World Series

c) If the National League top team salary exceeds $160 million, the offending team is fined at a dollar-per-dollar rate above that threshold. The excess is then spread among the other teams:

Example: 11 team league
Top team salary: $171 million
Fine: $171 million - $160 million = $11 million
$11 million distributed among 11 teams = $1 million/team

Top team salary: $158 million -- no fine and no changes

d) If the American Leage top team salary exceeds $150 million, the offending team is fined 75 percent of the excess. The excess is spread among the other team:

Example: 8 team league
Top team salary: $159.33333 million
Fine: 75 percent of $9.33333 million = $7 million
$7 million distrubted among 11 teams = $1 million/team
