The Major Simulated Junior Hockey League (MSJHL) will now be the Carribean Simulated Hockey League (CSHL)This will help eliminate the confusion sometimes caused between the MSHL and the MSJHL. The league will consist of teams located, but not limited to, the Gulf Coast of Mexico. MSHL teams will own the franchises. There can be several owners per team. The teams can make money by charging other MSHL teams a franchise fee to house their players and by winning games. The cost of a franchise will be $5 million. A team may finance a team, but must at least give $2.5 million to start off. The league will be operated by Jazz Matthews. =TYPES OF PLAYERS There are two type of players. Property players (players who's rights belong to an MSHL team) and independent players (who's rights belong to the CSHL team.) =TEAMS Each team will be composed of MSHL property players and independent players. The cash winnings for this season 1st $ 1'250'000 Winning playoffs: $ 1'000'000 2nd $ 1'000'000 3rd $ 750'000 4th $ 500'000 5th $ 250'000 6th $ 0 The winning scale will increase per teams in the league. =SALARY CAP There will be no salary cap in the CSHL =SALARY A property players will accept one tenth of his MSHL salary to play in the CSHL. Example Bob Saget 3/700 in the MSHL would be 3/70 for the CSHL. Property players over 26 years must clear waivers before accepting a new CSHL contract. Independent players do not need to be signed. The minimum CSHL salary is set at $40'000 or 1/40. Maximum lenght of contract is of 4 years. =MSHL MINOR CONTRACTS MSHL teams can sign players to minor league contracts. These contract will count against the salary cap. If a property player with a CSHL contract plays over 7 MSHL games his salary will increase x10 and his full salary will count towards the cap. Further the contract will be of a duration of only 1 year. Example: Bob Saget 28 4/70, gets called up by Quebec Huskies and plays 8 games. His salary becomes 1/700 and subject to all MSHL free agency rules. Property players with CSHL contracts playing in the minors count towards salary cap. There is no inter-CSHL free agency. =CALLING PLAYERS UP You can call up a property CSHL player to the MSHL at any time. That players status changes if he has played in over 7 MSHL games. (see below) =SENDING DOWN Before each season, an MSHL team will select it's roster of 25 players (3 goalies, 22 skaters) and then send down the rest of the team. If an MSHL team does not have a CSHL affiliate, those players will be released. Property players 26 years old and over must clear waivers before accepting a CSHL assignment. Property players with MSHL signed contracts must clear waivers regardless of age. Property players 25 and younger do not have to clear waivers unless signed with a MSHL contract. Players who are 26 & 27 with a signed CSHL contract do not have to clear waivers at this period but will have to clear waivers if he is sent down again. Waiver period is determinded by 36 hours from the moment the league sends the email. During this time any team can claim the player priority given to the lowest place team and not a first come first serve basis. =Claiming a player Once a team claims a player off waivers, that player can immediately be assigned to the CSHL without subscequent waivers. =TRAINING CAMPS All independent players receive a free training camp at seasons end. All property players in a team receive a free training camp at the start of the season. In addition MSHL teams will be allowed 5 extra TC at the cost of 200k each. =CSHL DRAFT The CSHL draft will be composed of undrafted MSHLE players over 21 years of age. =INDEPENDENT PLAYERS An independent player will be the property of the CSHL team and is subject to trade between CSHL teams. Should an MSHL team be interested in an independent CSHL player, the MSHL team may sign the player to a full MSHL contract and compensate the CSHL team with $50'000. An independent player offer is subject to all MSHL bidding rules. AKA the offer will be public and other teams will be able to bid on that same player. EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE: An MSHL that owns a CSHL franchise, may negotiate with players of that franchise as if he were MSHL property until a third party contract is offered. =PROPERTY PLAYERS & FREE AGENCY All MSHL free agency rules preceed the CSHL rules. Hence a 30 year old player with no contract is still a UFA. A 24 year old is still subject to compensation. EXCEPTION: A 28 year plus property player may forfit a signed CSHL contract to sign an MSHL contract. Compensation to the CSHL team will be $75'000. Should a property player play over 7 CSHL games without a contract, that player will become an MSHL UFA regardless of age. =THIRD GOALIE RULE (temporary rule) At the start of a season, the MSHL team selects 3 goalies. These goalies may travel up and down without clearing waivers. The third goalie may even play in the CSHL on a regular basis. These 3 goalies are not interchangeable throughout the season. Should a 4th goalie be called up or down, he is subject to all CSHL waiver rules.
