Thanks for the rules comments and catching some of my silly typos.

Has been the case for a number of seasons. Will be less of an issue
with the new prospect system, luckily for me.

- For compensation, I added another note about things that will be dealt
with this season - I think we will set up a fixed set of compensations
based on the size of the bid - e.g. 2 million implies 3 first rounders or
whatever - don't qoute me on the value as I'm just implying the idea -
This way, if compensation can't be agreed upon, teams know what they are
getting into and can't be screwed - Also removed need for an arbitration
panel, which is something I never want to see again = I'd actually like
to see this for this auction but that may be rushing too much.

But if you play more games, your stadium fills and you make money. I
can't see anything else being realistic - maybe all playoff teams sharing
TV money for that round - but that is more complicated - I think this
works and it is what I announced a while back.
