2016 Keepers
2016 is the third offseason where High Above Courtside had keepers. Keepers have certainly been modified over the past three years. While an imperfect system, the crux of the HAC Keeper system has largely gone unchanged where players are typically re-signed at a two year cost increase from the season before. Prizes were first given out as an augment to owners to re-sign their players. Those were viewed to be too arbitrary and HAC Coins were started. This was a "prove it" system for HAC owners where activity was rewarded.
