Some new rules, and some old, all detailed below.
Any questions or clarifications, please reach out to someone on the RC
Previously Posted Free Agent Bid Guidelines:
-A player may be bid upon with a maximum contract length of 5 years regardless of position
-However for older players, the length of contract bids cannot go past their age of 40 so maximum bids are below based on a players age:
35 or less: 5 years
36: 4 years
37: 3 years
38: 2 years
39 or older: 1 year
-When posting a player to be bid upon, you must put both the players name and age in the thread title, with a link to their EliteProspects (or similar) page in the first post for clarity on who exactly the player is
-Age goes by the time of posting (and what should be in the thread title) in the event a players birthday falls while bidding is open.
-Bids must be at least $50k cumulatively higher than the previous bid
-Bids may not be less than 70% of the highest AAV offered to a player.
-There is no editing or deleting of posts once made on a player. People are watching threads at all times, it will be noticed.
-Eligible players are unowned assets and must be born on September 30, 1998 or older (younger are eligible for prospect bidding or our entry draft)
New Rules:
-There are no maximum bids on 1 year UFA bids, however the maximum for multi-year bids are 20% of the cap. For this year (24/25 season) that limit is $17.6m per year.
-In the event multiple teams submit a maximum bid at maximum length, the higher seeded team will win the player. For the 2024 summer offseason we will go by the final standings from last year.
-Once a maximum bid is made, the player will be closed in 24 hours, and at that time the highest seed who submitted a maximum bid will win the player.
