cool, that is the solution 95% of the time.
there's also a bug where after AP are consumed by a player signing, if you have the recruiting page up from prior to that signing, and you move AP around involving the player who signed, you can end up assigning AP to an already-signed player. then, when you go back into recruiting, you'll have no way to take them away (unless you still have an old recruiting page up), because that gets frozen. i think only CS can resolve this situation if a user gets themselves into it.
