Anyone have any links to an initial salary cap league auction draft? ...or even an auction draft from this year

Please describe your league. Do contract values increase a given amount every year? Or do you sign a player to a "contract" and then that player is released back into the pool when the contract is done?

Salary Caps/ContractsEach franchise will have a cap of $45 million, that they may not exceed Each franchise will have a cap of 70 years, that they may not exceed. The contract years may range from 1-5 years. Contract years may not be traded. Contract years follow the player if traded to another ....................Player SalariesThe minimum player salary for the League is $425,000. All player salaries are 50% guaranteed. Each player that is under contract after February 15th of each year will receive a 10% salary increase...........Initial AuctionThe Initial Auction will begin. April 29th and run until Week 1.

Teams must meet three basic requirements to place a FA on the auction board or to bid on a FA; teams must have the salary cap space to meet the minimum salary of $425,000, the minimum bid of $25,000 and have the roster space to add a player.

Okay...I do have an idea of how your league is run.
The fun thing about an auction is that it is not easy to predict. When constructing my teams, I like to have a balance b/w rookies and veterans. The idea is to get rookies cheaply for the long term, pay top dollar for established veterans, and then fill in with stop gap short term solutions.
The rule of thumb I have read for auction leagues is to spend 85% on your starters. However, for dynasty type leagues, this drops to 75% because you need to have players develop.
I find the best thing to do is to establish a high ceiling for a price you are willing to spend each player. I use the cheatsheets to help me provide a baseline, then I vary the prices based on what I think of each player.
I know these are general guidelines. Any specific questions?
