How to play Cap Crunch

Cap Crunch puts you in a GM's chair with a daily budget.

  1. You must draft a lineup of three forwards and two defensemen.
  2. Each player's salary is shown, but his rating is hidden.
  3. Your total spending cannot exceed the day's budget.
  4. When the lineup is complete the ratings are revealed and your score is the combined rating. Find the underpaid players to beat the budget; everyone gets the same pool each day.

Tip: the best score rarely comes from spending on the most famous names. Look for players on cheap contracts who outperform their salary, the same idea the BluelineMetrics value model uses to flag Underpaid deals.
