WCB2 Free Agent Bidding

[Flash]

FREE AGENCY begins: Saturday, February 26, 2022

GMs,

Here are the basics you need to know.

Post the Position and full name of the Player in the subject line.

**Maximum 5 winning bids open at one time per team.**

All bids are considered closed and final when 48 hours has passed since the last bid.  All bids are for the amount of the total contract.  Bids simply must be in multiples of $100k.  Once a bid is closed, the GM must decide on a contract for the player. When bidding PC, a PC holds a $0.5m value. So if you bid PC + $1m, the total contract is $1.3m. A MLB contract bid will not automatically beat a PC unless the total value is more.

Bidding on prospects is done by Prospect Contract (PC) and if applicable a Signing Bonus (ie. PC + $1m).  Signing bonuses are guaranteed money and will not move with the player if traded.  Signing bonuses can also be split over 2 years.

BIDDING

The minimum annual salary is $500k.

The minimum bid raise is $500k for a total bid less than $9.9m.
The minimum bid raise is $1m for total bids $10.0m or higher.

Make sure you have the cap to bid on FA or your bid will be illegal and not recognized.

There shall be no editing of bids under any circumstances.  If there is an issue regarding a bid, send a PM to Cliff to resolve it.

Please don't post any comments in the bidding threads or complain if someone makes a later bid.  The bidding time is 48 hours, so if someone bids within those 48 hours, it is entirely legitimate and something everyone needs to accept.

Good luck to all.
