Hey GMs…please review your financials post-contraction draft. All but two clubs are over the $40M salary cap:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or any of your fellow GMs (both UMEBA or BBA) and we're happy to help. Thanks!

I thought it had gone to $55m in 2043.

Yes, I could not find that in a admittedly quick scan of the boards. So one team is over but a few other teams don't have much wiggle room heading into free agency.

Yeah I've been told I have no money for free agents by the Cedars number crunchers, however I've gone from $18m in the red before the contraction draft to around $2m in the red after it so I'm happy if they aren't lol.

So part of the issue is that the budget for all teams has apparently been set at 47 million, which is a significant drop from last year for me (63 million last year) and I suspect other teams. So, even if salary cap is raised to $55 million, it won't really work with a budget of 47 million.

Cap was 55 last season but yea I too noticed the budget drop. I was up near the top and dropped to 47 as well.

The budgets dropping are reflecting the lack of revenue in the UMEBA. If that doesn't rise, there's a chance you'll be needing to reset them every year.

That's strange. My team has shown a substantial profit every year.

Profit and revenue are, oddly, different things. Most owners set budget based on revenue in our system.
