I know, I just don't know the right people. But started a new lg and everyone sais no when they find out it's Auction foremost then the cap, Cntrcts really gets em. I guess I'm more frustrated that prob 10 people were asking for that exact lg on this forum, so I made one, contacted em all, and crickets... It's early offseason tho, wanted to get a new startup going tho!

I won't join another league unless it's auction. Salary cap and contracts make trading difficult. It's not being "afraid" of the format but it is a strong preference for active leagues. Dead money tends to make owners disinterested.
So - auction is a must, but once teams are formed, no cap/salaries.

I was in a league with all three of those aspects a few years ago. Really enjoyed the time and attention required. The commissioner folded up the league because of work reasons and didn't want to let all the teams down.
The format you're talking about requires way more effort than most are willing to give, I guess. Especially if an owner has multiple leagues. Truthfully, at this point I wouldn't join a league like that again due to my commish and owner circumstances. I would have to shed all my other stuff and give all my time to that one single effort.

As a prior commish of a salary cap, contract cap, off season UFA/RFA bidding with bid matching, franchise tags etc, I found it was a ton of work for the commish and keeping everyone active, especially for the time sensitive off season, was a pain. My advise is to only get involved in leagues like this if you have a VERY strong commish willing to keep on top of everything year around, and all the owners are hardcore. Any league is only as strong as its weakest link and super in depth leagues like these have a potential short term lifespan because of that complexity and attention to detail required by all members.

Thanks guys for all the replies and feedback! I guess I'll just take away the caps and contracts, and still be happy with the lg!
