Roster Value Over $80 million

There is a team in my 60's Mystery League that has over $81 million in roster value in an $80 million league. How does that happen? How do I protest my losses to this team?

This is perfectly legal and above board. It can happen like this: If a team puts a 750K LF on their AD list for example and misses on that player and there are no more 750K LF players to replace this player then the next lowest LF will be used which will have a salary higher than 750K. That replacement player may have a salary of around 1M for example.

I do not consider this an advantage myself because that owner may not make any roster modifications without getting under 80M first. Yes they have a higher team cap but you know at least one of those players will need to be replaced and when they do they will not only take a salary cap % hit but also have to be under 80M after that transaction.

Whenever this situation happens to one of my teams I take care of it in the preseason as I don't want this disadvantage when switching out players during the season.

It seems weird that it would be more than a million American dollars over the allowed amount, but I don't see that this manager has made one transaction (except for recently dropping a player that now gets him down to exactly $80 million) and we are 100 games into the season.

Could you post a link to the team. I'd be shocked to see a team only making 1 move performing well in the mystery card format

I never said he was doing well. It is Cape Blue Carp in Auto League 426883 in the 60's managed by rawallace 2718. I don't know how to post the team any other way but if you'll explain I will do though I'm not sure what it will accomplish. The head of Strato corrected this by taking away one player that got the Carp down to $80 million. Since it was well over a million dollars more than allowed it couldn't have just been an upward draft adjustment from the lack of $750,000 guys. It had to be some other kind of glitch and the Carp were apparently happy to just stick with what they had until the Commissioner took a player away.

Many years ago and it was basically a newbie league, but here's a team over the cap that won the championship. I lost to them in the finals.
