Regular Season Free Agency Regulations
- An offer must stand as the highest bid for 24 hours before it is accepted. An offer is the high bid if it contains the highest TOTAL dollar amount over the life of the contract.
- Contracts that GMs create in free agency are limited to being between 1 and 4 years in length.
- You may not sign a free agent if the signing takes your team over the salary cap. The only exception to this is if it is to the League Minimum Contract.
- The mimimum increase to an offer for a free agent is $100,000.
- The maximum amount that a contract can increase or decrease each year is by 11% of the previous year in the contract or $500,000. Whichever is higher.
- If your team has more than 15 players on it's roster. You must first release a player before you can sign another.
- You must wait for your player to be recognized by a staff member and released before starting a thread to bid on a free agent.
- Contracts offered during Regular Season Free Agency must not contain Team or Player Options.
- We allow the existence of TOs & POs in Off Season Free Agency because you're dealing with Player Agents. Regular Season Free Agency concerns itself only with the monetary size of a bid.
- All players in Regular Season Free Agency, rated 70 or below, have a cap of $3,500,000 per year on any offers a team may make. Any players above 70 in rating that exceed $3,500,000 per year will be dealt with by a Player Agent.
