Title: Free Agency starts on the 15th!
Post by: Colby on January 12, 2010, 07:45:00 PM
Just in time for the start of FA, the RC has passed a new ruling on how bids work...

Quote
FA Bidding
Bids are in format of total contract value. Note that the number of years does not need to be listed until the bid is won.  The resulting salary will be the final bid divided by number of years, rounded to the nearest $500k.  The winning bid will be the highest total contract amount.  If the bid is less than $20m then contract can be valued in multiples of $500k.  If it is $20m or more then it must be in multiples of $1m.

Each player is auctioned in a separate thread at the MLFB website that may be started by anyone.  There is no limit to the number of players that can be auctioned at one time or the number of bids for a player.  A bid on a player is considered final when it has been open for 72 hours. 

The part in RED is something I added because a $500k raise of the bid on $20+m means nothing when it comes time to the contract.

Bid responsibly GMs!  :BORAS:  :win:  :bacon:

Question: we can only bid on players that are unowned & not drafted during 09? Can they be Japanese players/college players/high school players?

A player cannot be bid on until they have been either drafted or played American professional baseball.
