Rules of Free Agency
Free Agency begins Sunday March 5th 6pm (eastern)
1. We use a bidding format in the free agency forum.
2. When a bid lasts 24hrs without being matched, the bidding team is awarded the player.
3. You cannot go over the salary cap at anytime with your bids. If you need more room to make a bid, you must cut a player prior to placing a bid.
4. You cannot have more than 10 bids simultaneously.
5. You cannot trade or cut players you sign in free agency.
6. You cannot retract bids without permission from a mod.
7. When bidding on restricted free agents: Restricted free agents that are not tendered become unrestricted free agents and the original team gets no compensation. If they have a low tender and a bid is not matched, the original team gets draft pick of the round the player was drafted in as compensation (i.e. Joe Blow was a 3rd round pick in 2001...Compensation is a 3rd round pick). If the player was undrafted, no compensation is awarded. A mid level tender has 1st round compensation and a high level tender has 1st and 3rd round compensation.
8. Franchise/Transition players: When a franchise player receives a bid that is not matched the original team gets two first round picks as compensation. If the bidding team does not have two first round picks he must acquire them before bidding or workout acceptable compensation with the original team. Teams get no compensation for losing Transition players.
9. Free agent conflicts: If you believe a player is not a free agent, you must prove that he was not a free agent at the time the GM league started.
