I've never understood why there is an official league budget and teams also have their own individual budgets as well. Have one, managed by budget team. Also, contract acceptance should be defined by the acceptance of a valid contract posted on the site, no need to complicate things by allowing DM acceptance to count.

Not sure if I think the punishments are too heavy-handed or not. The number of teams with this violation indicates that the process could be improved to prevent this in the future, but 16 teams did manage to do this properly.
