How To Post Your Team Page (Roster Link Inside)

[Mach]

Keep in mind that no trades/cuts can be made until Tuesday, February 11 at Noon (12:00PM EST).

The first step is to create a team page for your team. Click on the "Team Pages" sub-forum within the GM League forum. Your team page will consist of your players and their salaries, your team’s free agents, draft picks, salary cap information, signings, cuts/releases, and trades. The first thing you need to do is get your player salaries. I will walk you through this step.

1. Download the Excel spreadsheet from this link, it contains each team’s player salaries, cap hit, and free agents.

2. Create a new thread in the Team Pages sub-forum (you can organize everything in the editor of your choice if you wish). Please post your roster in a format similar to this:

QUARTERBACK
Tom Brady, QB, $14,800,00.00 (DM: $32,800,000.00)
Ryan Mallet, QB, $937,945.00 (DM: $160,969.00)

3. Complete your roster section of your team page by organizing your players by position and be sure to add up all the salaries so you have your team salary.

4. Get your team’s free agent from the Excel spreadsheet you downloaded earlier.

5. Copy and paste your team's free agents into your team page. Record all your team's free agents in a format like below:

FREE AGENTS
Aqib Talib, CB, UFA
Danny Aiken, LS, RFA
Luke Patterson, OL, ERFA

6. Feel free to tender any free agents if they are RFA's or ERFA's. Feel free to make sure of the tags but be sure to read the rules in the 2014 GM League Rules thread concerning them! DO NOT TRADE YOUR ERFAS, RFAS AND FRANCHISED PLAYERS UNTIL YOU’VE TENDERED THEM!!

7. Get your team’s draft picks here.

8. Find all your teams draft picks and list them like so:

DRAFT PICKS
1st round (29th overall)
2nd round (62nd overall)
3rd round (93rd overall)

11. Be sure to create a category for "Trades" and "Cuts" along with Dead Money so you have somewhere to list your cuts and trades after they occur. Remember that you do not need to be under the salary cap until the start of free agency, so don't worry about cutting players until free agency nears.

If you have any questions, you can PM GridIronKing34 or Machinate.

Please do not put up your team page until I have posted the info here, just to make sure we're all on the same page. This prevents extra work from inaccuracies.

Would it be possible to delete some of the duplicate team pages?

[Mach]

[GridIronKing34]

Done.

Whenever I try and copy and paste my team page from Excel or Word it ends up all weird. Does anyone know how to fix this? I never had this problem copying and pasting on SR or TP.

see the top left icon on the reply button? Click that before pasting, it changes the formats. In addition, if that fails, once you've pasted your team page, highlight everything, click the button right next to it. It removes all formatting.

Welcome. Now we're going to contract your team and add their players to the draft. Sorry!

So 2nd number is Dead Money if player is traded/released? Right?

[Witlon]

Indeed.

You only eat the dead money if the player is released, not traded though
