HOW THIS WORKS: This is a poll however I did it as a reply poll instead of voting so that each members opinion is seen and can be read by other GM's.
Under this topic make a reply and state what you would like the four areas of topic above to be. I tried to place at least four or five options since everyone has started to state they want different things.
Now at anytime you can come back and edit your decision to change it to a new one ... however once we have a suitable amount of GM's within the league a 'DATE' will be posted on the TOPIC SUBJECT LINE and all votes or changes must be posted before then.
Any questions or concerns of how this could be done better please post and we can change it up ...

okay i think i know why stumpy picked only 2.5M however with the added money i think it will give GMs the ability to do different things. Some will go for #1 fame, others will invest in stadiums and finances, others to training and bonuses and then some will find happy mediums. Its all about choices right from the start and whose plan will work best in the end

Stumps, you sound like you want this league to be like all the other regular leagues... For all the guys that want 38 trainers, why?... I don't think it will pass, but I'm really hoping for 6 trains. Like I've said many times, I'm looking for a game that's different than the one I already play. If I wanted to play the same old Franchise Basketball, I don't need this league as there are over 30 other ones already out there. If this league goes with 2 or 3 trains, are there any of you that are like me that would want to start a more extreme league with high everything - starting money, salary cap, trains, etc.?

I suggested three trains because it might be nice to develop guys a bit faster, but I don't see six trains being that useful, as potential is pretty much the biggest limiting factor in player development, not the number of available trains.
BUDGET:

- I am presuming this means max for one year, not what you start out with.
<font size="1"><font color="red">FT: you are selecting the amount of money you think each team should start out with in their respective bank account when the league is created. From that number teams will go down or up as their finances grow or are spent.</font></font>
TRAINS:
d. 4 trains
-this one I don't quite understand. allowable trains per day - or per player for a full year??? it also depends on the difficulty of training
<font size="1"><font color="red">FT: The number you select will be how many times you can train each player each day. Right now leagues are set to 2 trains but you can vote to increase it or lower it.</font></font>
SALARY:
a. 60 Million
-Let's start low and then raise it in the future - say a mandatory increase in 4 years of 5 million
SERIES LENGTH:
b. 7
I like both, but I prefer 7 - although the few times I have sat out the playoffs - it becomes annoying. How about a loser playoffs for teams to play low level games that don't attract many players, but allow them to try some of their younger guys???

HJ that is the starting cash when you get your team
and the trains is the maximum trains per player per day like at the moment you can only train any player twice in one day
I didn't finish training any of my basketball players this season. Every one of them still had skills they were either mid or high in. If we were allowed more trains per day, then they'd come closer to achieving their full potential. Also, with more trains then maybe we'll see more players gaining blue balls. In some of the older leagues, there will be a day coming when blue balls are practically non-existant. The higher the rating, the less likely the chance for training success. With 4 to 6 trains maybe some of these guys can become as good as they were meant to be. Then above average potential players will become as valuable as they shouold be. Also, not every day do I have the time to train my players. I know that it doesn't take nearly as long as it used to. But it does take time to keep track of training, which I'm sure 90% of GMs do. I couldn't imaging not using a spreadsheet to keep track of your team's training. Without one you're just training blindly, and wasting money. It's the updating of the spreadsheet where the real time hogger comes in. On busy days around the house I just want to log in, advertise, promote, and turn the computer off. More trains would enable us to make up for lost days.
i dont use a spreadsheet and theres no way im training blindly i know exactly where my players are

Not sure what do you guys think ...
Could take average
Could take most votes for that one thing
Could take top two and have a POLL for quick visual voting
Up to you guys I guess
For questions with many options, the median response might be the best way to do it (ie if 17 people respond, then put the responses in order and the 9th one is the one you go with).
i think common sense should rule
take for example current votes for salary cap id say 70 million would be the logical answer i havent used any mathematical terms to figure this out just that there are more votes for 70 mill than anything else and a number within the 65-75 range so 70 mill seems logical (though im certain it would have been the median and close to the average as well)
When the voting is all said and done, will the most votes win, or will everything be averaged?
Based on the results thus far, I'd suggest the consensus leans towards the following:
BUDGET: $50m
TRAINS: 4
SALARY CAP: $70m
SERIES LENGTH: 7 (though I'll sit back and wait for everybody to beg to change it back to 5 within four seasons)
DISABLED LIST: 3

FREE AGENT DEADLINE: 50 (FT has these two categories accidentally transposed up on his graphic)
CLEAR WAIVERS: 3
ROSTER SIZE: 16
COACHES: 38
TRAINERS: 32
DL STASHING: Must release immediately if on DL healthy for over 3 days
RELEASE: Banned except for 0-year players and rookies prior to Day 1 of the season in which they are drafted
If anybody wants to make a case that I've misrepresented the predominant viewpoint, please feel free.
BUDGET: $10,000,000 Million
I'm in the "Hyper funds" L38 where we started with $250K, and that's really enough to test financal model stuff, but I think at $10 mil we would have soem options for signing bonuses early, and represent "poor" but stable big team owners.
TRAINS: 4
SALARY: 65,000,000 Million
I like a Smaller Salary cap, but Since I'd like a larger Roster $65mil sounds about right. Pick 1 more starter or 3 more prospects maybe.
