Hey guys Free Agency begins in less than 5 hours at 12:00 PM EST on January 16th
Here is a refresher of some things to remember for free agency:
- The maximum number of auctions an owner can start is 3
*The minimum bid increasement is $0.10 of total contract value. On the 6th bid the minimum bid increasement is $0.50 of total contract value. On the 11th bid the minimum bid increasement is $1 of total contract value
- When placing a bid for a player that you receive a 20% discount please place the bid and the discount price in parentheses like this: $10 ($8).
- Remember you have enough salary cap not only to place a bid but you must have enough salary cap to fill a full 25 roster after the bid
-You must have enough salary cap for any future seasons in order to place a bid
-If you don’t have enough open slots you must announce a corresponding roster move.
- You CANNOT change your corresponding roster move in the middle of the auction.
- it is possible for a manager to be involved in multiple auctions after having declared the same player as the stated drop in those auctions, provided that that manager only has the current highest bid in one of those auctions at any given time.
- The salary if the player you intend to drop/demote does not count towards available salary you can bid with
