Newbie Question - Releasing Players

[griblets]

When I release a player with a multi-year contract, do I have to alert anyone for salary cap tracking purposes?

No thankfully not. bonscot will get an email with that info automatically and he adds it to the spreadsheet

Yeppers! I just started a new job on Monday so I don't have it updated the last couple days but I should be able to update it tonight. You can view it via a link on the left side menu.

Was curious if Google Docs has ever been thought of as a solution for displaying the Cap Hits, as opposed to downloading an XLS file to see if it's been updated or not?

Not really. When it was created Google Docs was really new (may not have even existed yet) and my experience with Google Docs is that it's great for plain old documents but not so good with spreadsheets with complicated formulas which this thing has a lot of. Google Docs typically chokes on anything this complicated so I don't even bother with it anymore.

FYI if you don't have Excel you can download a free viewer from Microsoft.

Google Docs has advanced quite a bit over the past few years, especially since they have been getting into more Govt Agencies and big time Colleges/Universities.

Doing an upload of the existing Cap_hits.xls to my personal Google account and "Publishing to the web as Web Page" generated the following URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub ... n_US&gid=2

You can also have it generate HTML to embed the doc into the website
