The First Year
Salary Caps
In the first year, all teams are assumed to have a salary cap of $60m. (Ingame dollars are not based on any real or MNal currency and are not exchangeable at the Small Commonwealth Bank.) Each player on your roster for the first year's opening day is assumed to have a 1 year, $500k pa contract with no options.
Rosters
All rosters are to consist of a minimum 21 players -- 2 ends, 2 tackles, 1 center, 1 quarterback, 2 wide receivers, 3 offensive backs, 3 linebackers, 2 cornerbacks, 2 safeties, 1 kicker, 1 holder, and 1 punter -- and a maximum 54.
Scheduling
Depends on the number of inaugural teams. If 16 or less, each team will play each other team once. If between 17 and 32, two conferences, each scheduling in the 16-or-less manner. If 32 or more, NFL-esque scheduling.

Draft Info
Drafts in years 2 and onward will be conducted similarly to the NFL draft, with each team getting one pick per each of eight rounds; the position of this pick within the round is determined by the previous year's record. Draft picks may be traded; however, no more than two picks may be traded at any one time. If a team lose more picks than they gain via trading, they will be awarded compensatory picks to make up for those lost by trading.
Drafted players will be sent to training camp, and the owner and head coach will have 3 months to decide whether to sign any of these players, as well as to re-sign any established players whose contracts have expired.
