The roles in which you can participate in EPL

GM: As the GM of the team, you are also the owner. You make the trades, you sign the free agents, and you even get to create your own budget!

Managers: Managers are not mandatory in this league...if the GM of a team wants to hire one, then it is fine by me. However, the GM must pay the Manager with 50% of his own salary, and 50% of team funds. Basically, managers set the lineups and rotations.

Players: As a player, you get to do the same things that a real life ballplayer would do. You get to negotiate your own contract, set your spring training allocation points, and set your personal strategies. If you do not get what you want from your GM, then demand a trade, and if all else fails, sit out.

Agent: Your job as an Agent is to build a strong client base, and get your clients what they want. As the agent, you have to charge your clients a fee. For more information on agent fees, please visit this page: http://eliteplayersleague.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.0
