END OF SEASON, FREE AGENCY AND RULES (Moderator TBD)
You can’t bid on a free agent unless you have an open spot on your roster and have the cash. So, if any team is running a negative balance at this time they can’t participate unless they go positive cash and have enough to bid on players.
9.29 season end
9.30 - 10.13 Final trading period, roster cuts for 2019
10.14 - 2019 Cap year ends. All transactions suspended.
10.19 - Final 2019 rosters due.
10.20 - 2020 Cashman cap year begins. FA bidding starts and trading reopens
Free Agency starts at Sunday 8 AM EST on 10/20/18.
An initial list of free agents will be published and the team that finished last (Texas) this past season, will select where on the list we will begin. We will then go in that order. Players not on this list can be acquired using silent bidding when it reopens at the end of FA. Players cut during free agency can be included at discretion of moderator. If added, they will be placed at end of the FA list.
Beginning of the auction, we will have 2 players in play at any time. This value can change at the discretion of the moderator. Once a player is won in auction or there is no action for a player, then the next player on the list is in play. Free agency ends when this list is exhausted. Regular silent bidding for FA's as used during the season then starts...again on WED/SUN.
When there is no bid after 24 hours the player is then awarded to the last bidder.
You can start the bidding at $325,000. The minimum incremental bid for a player is $100,000.
12 HOUR RULE.
If there is no opening bid for a player after 12 hours then he is eliminated and next player nominated. If a player gets even 1 bid then normal auction rules apply. We wait 24 hours.
If you miss a '12-hour' auction you have 24hrs from end of it to contact moderator to re-instate player. Moderator will then place the auction ASAP and when 'nominated' automatically place the min bid in teams name. The auction then goes as normal.
Once free agency starts all salary figures/adjustments will use 2019 salaries. This is where we 'turn the page' and start using 2019 figures. In other words, Happy Cashman New Years! YOU MUST BE AT/UNDER CAP AT THIS TIME.
During free agency trading is open and you can alway drop a player to open up a spot to bid on a free agent. Just announce your drop in the normal way.
Remember, minimum opening bid is $325,000...you can start higher.
Minimum incremental bid is $100,000...you can place a higher bid.
Remember its the highest bid amount that wins, not total $$$ of contract.
1mil @ 1 yr beats 350K @ 3 yrs.
Since the auctions will end at different times and TBD moderator can’t be here 24/7; anyone else can 'nominate' the next player on the list, once an Auction ends. Please, no early listings. Only 2 players at any one time.
You always have the option of dropping a player so you can bid on another.
Remember you need to have open spots on your roster to bid.
There will be breaks as needed for Holidays!
Do we all have to have a 25 man roster at the end of Free Agency?
No, you can have less than 25. You will need 25 by the time Yahoo opens for next seasons play.
Under no circumstances can a bid be withdrawn.
