Remember the Rules
1. Once a hard cap violation has been identified, the commish will post a complete waiver list order and a time limit (i.e., 48 hours)
2. Any team who wants Player X should put a claim in to the commish via PM
3. At the end of the 48 hours, the commish looks at all of the teams who put in a claim and Player X gets assigned to the team who's highest on the priority rank.
4. If nobody claims Player X, then repeat steps 1-3 with Player Y (next highest scorer).
5. Should the violating team trade their way out of the hard cap violation prior to ANY claim for the player in question, the trade will be procesed and waiver process ended - the commish will simply look for time stamps of the trade being accepted trades and the waiver claim and process the transaction accordingly

- players claimed off waivers have no trade restrictions

- you cannot claim someone off waivers if his salary will put you over the hard cap

I have to pass, he'll put me over the hard cap.

[AsstRapsGM]

I have to pass, he'll put me over the hard cap.

That shouldn't be the only reason anyone would pass

[SpiritGM]

Just out of curiosity - what if no one claims the big money players on Raps?

[MagicGM]

Then we keep taking smaller players until he's under.

[SpiritGM]

May take a while then LOL

Then we keep taking smaller players until he's under.

are you sure? in the rules i can't find a term that it will be processed till he is under the hard cap.
in fact:
You may be over the cap in between sims or the offseason. But if you are over the cap while a game is simmed, that is when you are hit with the penalty.
- Penalty: you will lose your team's leading scorer from the previous season. Whoever had the most PPG last season, whether playing for you or acquired later during a trade. He will be placed on waivers. The team who claims the individual off waivers must pay the full contract amount owed to the player; the team who loses the player pays no salary.

i always thought loosing the best player is penalty enough. loosing the whole team is too much imo.

[MagicGM]

If no one claims his "best" player because his contract is so ridiculous, it goes to the next guy.

He cut $40 million in players, that's why he's in this situation.

Players will continue to be claimed until he's under the hard cap. There's really no other solution.

step 4 is clear to me but it is still mentioned 1 player taken from the team. it is never stated that the process will continue till he is under the hard cap.

[MagicGM]

Well if he's still over the hard cap after another sim there's another violation.

He cut over 40 million dollars in players and his "best" player no one wants.
