9 mil for rookie tasks, 5 for contract (3 + 2 HO Bonus), plus 3 or 4 bounties?

There was 3ish weeks between TDL and end of season last season.

So around 18 mil for new players.

Isn't there a worry this will take away from media postings or site jobs applications? If people have the money, and are doing all of these prompts, that's going to burn people out on writing more media

Also, 150 words for 1 mil is incredibly cheap and easy. If DFAs want something to do, at least make them work for their earnings.

So, yes and no. To be more specific, that may be more around $19 million total as a DFA contract is for $1 million, and yes that'll then jump up when they receive their Rookie contract, and that's also assuming a player creates right at the TDL and does every single rookie task & bounty available to them in addition to every Rookie Task. The Rookie Tasks are worth $9mil at their end, but only 4 or 5 of those are available immediately, which in combination of Bounties being weekly spreads the money out. This isn't a straight up immediate injection, it's broken up over time. Bu

For first timers to this system we'll be generous and say they get $20mil by the end, going off your numbers and saying they get the extra DFA $1mil. A standard J season is about 8 weeks, with training at $500k that's $4mil right there for the season, SMJHL Coaching is anywhere from $1.5mil to $4.5mil so that's $5.5-8.5mil for the season, almost half of the money made so far, not including variables of when they joined in proximity to the TDL which would further decrease from that total. Next season max training costs $1mil with coaching jumping up to $2mil-8.5mil, so the second season of a player costs anywhere from $10-16.5mil for a second season and any season after. Now, a players Entry Level contract is typically $2mil to $3mil which helps mitigate that, but the vast majority of money earned from this is most likely already burnt through.

Now, that's all assuming I've got these numbers correct. It's entirely possible I'm misjudging them or I've missed one or more factors. If I have, somebody please let me know. But, looking at what I've got so far, this money won't last through a player's third season at most, most likely. I know it seems like a lot of money and if people feel strongly enough about it that we should cut the payout in half or even more we can take another look at it. I think your point that this could affect the amount of people who feel the need to apply to jobs is an entirely valid one and it's one I've been thinking about a lot myself. I can promise that's still something we're working on a solution to.

Thanks for your patience as I had to run through all that and type it all out
