CF Catalunya was 6.5 million above the salary cap after the tactics deadline for MD1 of the season. They have been issued with a 6.5 million cap fine for S11 and S12 in accordance with Section 5 Subsection 3 Rule 2.b (Rulebook v2.6 or rule E3 in the revised and reorganized v3 Rulebook). <br><br>They were directed to adhere to the salary cap prior to the tactics deadline for MD2. They were in close discussion with members of the BoD alongside trading partners just prior to the deadline and finalized a trade that resolved their cap situation. Due to a sequence of trades it was not posted on the forum on time but the BoD oversaw the trade discussion and the cap was adhered to for the MD2 tactic submission. As such no additional cap penalty for the team is issued.<br><br>However, due to the delayed nature of the response and the BoD having to step in to facilitate a resolution, the managers (<a href='index.php?showuser=56' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-7'>@omniscius</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=78' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-7'>@twix</a>) are being fined their full S11 job pay. This goes in line with previous punishments issued to managers. <br><br>We are also working on codifying these issues to the Rulebook so there will be no confusion for any party what is expected and potential consequences if delays has not been resolved before the defined deadline.
