Just to clarify before I mess up drafting this team, in the variable cap league, the only way to have a $130mil cap is to draft all D fielders. Is this correct?
Yes, that's correct.

Yes, that's correct.
And to further clarify, that means for $130M the "best" everyday defensive player can be rated D+/D+ at any position, primary or secondary, right? It can't be interpreted where a D+/A+ fielder is eligible for a $130M team, but instead he'd lower your cap to $115M.

Correct. Your team's salary cap is based on the highest range and/or fielding value. Both must meet the criteria.

$100M question: If I select a year (1968) and one of my players on the '68 team was also on a different '68 team, (Vicente Romo), would his other team be eligible?

Yes, just not the combined version

Can adjustments be made to team rosters after they're entered in their leagues or are they set in stone?

Adjustments can be made. All I ask is that you sitemail the commissioner of the league when you re-enter your team, in case they have already checked your roster.

Son of a *****. I'm glad this was asked - I thought it was just range.

Back to the drawing board.

At first I thought it was just fielding. I was glad I re-read it before I started making teams.

When the teams are returned to rename the entry, are settings lost when the team goes back?

You do not need to remove your team in order to rename it. I will send out instructions once all rosters are verified and leagues are filled

I finally completed my 70M team. I didn't even try multiple combinations. Once I found something that worked (i.e., that fit), that was it.

I found this theme very difficult. The biggest issue was the narrow $2 million range to try and squeeze in the right combination of players from a selected team. I often found a team would be at $17 million and the only additional player worth adding was over $3M. Or I found a team with five $4M+ players worth adding.... which means I'm at $16M or over $20M. I think a $4M range (i.e., $16-20M) would have made things a little more manageable.

Oh, and I initially forgot about the full/partial rule, and of course, my first pass had a player with a combined season on the roster. Doh!

I'm assuming others had trouble as well.
