Off-Season
Off-season Free Agency occurs during the off-season, after the File Flip. Teams place bids in the game and click on the "Export Team offers via FTP" button. Be careful not to withdraw an offer to a player because said player may become upset and refuse to consider future offers.
The Commissioner will import free agent offers and simulate the free agency period according to the following schedule: Sim 1: Days 1-4, Sim 2: Days 5-8, Sim 3: Days 9-12, Sim 4: Days 13-16, Sim 5: Days 17-30.
Players signed during the off-season Free Agency period may not be traded until June 1st.
In-Season
Teams who wish to sign a free agent during the regular season may do so by placing an offer on the Free Agent board with a thread created with the player's full name. Contracts must meet the minimum salary the player specifies and be one (1) year in length. The Commissioner will process the bids prior to the following regular season sim, provided that at least 24 hours have lapsed since the last offer.
Should more than one (1) team bid on a player, the following bid must be at least $200K higher than the previous bid. For players specifying minor league contracts, the following bid must be at least $300K.
Should said player have more than five (5) bids, a blind auction will take place. Interested team must post their intent in the thread and PM the Commissioner with the bid for for one (1) year of service only. The results of the auction will be posted after all interested teams have made their bids, provided that at least 24 hours but no more than 48 have lapsed.
Players signed as an in-season free agent may be traded with no restrictions.
Contract Offer Limitations
- One year deals worth $20M or more can only be offered to players 34 years of age or older.
