All GM openings will initially go internal with a 48 hour period for existing GMs to apply to the job. If there are no applications then the position will be filled from someone on the waiting list or external posting with the best applicant being given the position. Internal transfers are allowed for GMs who have served with their existing franchise for 1 year or more. GMs who have less than one year of service with their franchise will not be considered for GM transfer.
Internal transfers will be granted to GMs who have served the longest with their existing franchise. Tiebreakers are handled by looking at overall Backyard tenure. If you know you are out of the running for a team you really want then feel free to ask the other internal applicants to step aside and please give them great reasons for doing so.
