These transfer sheets are very important - you need to use them to keep track of your transfer dealings. Not only will you need to upload your completed files to your shared dropbox folder once the transfers end and send a PM to the Mangame-Admin account, but it should also be used to keep track of your transfers, to make sure that you are staying within both your budget and salary cap.
If at any time during the transfers the admin team is concerned by your actions - we`ll ask for your transfer sheet - and there will be consequences if you don't then show it updated, or if it is inaccurate.
A badly kept transfers file has in the past led to teams ending transfers having spent more than their salary cap - and of course, the penalty for that is losing one of your top riders who you brought into your team during transfers.
Top Rows
These will show you what your balance is like throughout transfers. You will need to place your initial budget into cell J2, and any fine from renewals into J3.
Some teams have renewals fine double the amount, you have been over the wage cap post renewals. You should know yourself if this is the case and add this to the transfer sheet at the very beginning
Team
Every rider who rides for your team in races in 2024 should go here. You can start by inserting all riders you currently own. Any free agents you buy only need to be placed in this section.
Important tip for new CT teams: Start by putting 50,000 into the wage column for the first 15 riders in the teams list. This will give you an indication of how much room you have to play with for the rest of the transfers.
If you are loaning in a rider he needs to be included in this list. But in the wage column put the word 'LOAN'.
Loaned out riders should not appear in this list.
Loans
This section will help you keep track of the loan cap for all teams. All loans related to your team - both in and out - need to go in here.
For your salary cap it is vital that you fill in the 'Wage you are paying' column correctly for both loaned in and out riders. It is similarly vital that 'Wage you are not paying' is filled in correctly for the loan cap calculations.
Trades
This is where you make a note of any deals you participate in during this transfers. This could be buying a rider, selling a rider, a rider swap or a loan deal. This is also where you should fill in fees for sacking a rider.
All transfer fees are placed in this section, as well as details such as clauses associated with a loan.
The file gives space for 15 riders in the loans section, and 20 in the trades section. This should be enough for all teams, but is not a maximum limit - you can include more - but if you do include more then you will need to be careful to update the appropriate 'Top Row' cells to ensure all transactions are being counted in the calculations.
For PCT teams, you can use the file to select your wildcard options. All PT races will have 2 PCT teams in them as wildcards.
Buying a wildcard category will allow you to apply for all races in that category. If you do not receive a wildcard to a race in that category when wildcards are decided, you will be refunded.
Thing with transfer tax might come next season.
It`s a bit too late now to add it for 2024 as in theory it could have impacted the renewals/goals/budgets etc.
Just a reminder, that tomorrow at transfer end, all transfer sheets should be finalized and uploaded to dropbox.
Due to wildcard decisions and training, I don`t want to be delayed by a missing transfer sheet.
I won`t have time for the whole weekend, so would like to finish this all in the time gaps I have as actual ideas of doing the post transfer stuff the two days before the weekend failed due to server issues.
