BCD Free Agency
Free Agents will be auctioned off, meaning every team has the chance to acquire a free agent. As in an auction, the highest bidder wins. However, to win the auction, your bid must stand as the highest for at least 24 hours. The minimum contract length is 1 year. The maximum is 5 years. The minimum bid is $0.6M.
The process for signing a free agent is to create a new thread under Transactions --> Free Agency --> whatever the player's MFL position is currently listed as. The thread should have the player's correctly spelled name, and a valid bid as the message. Other GMs may reply in this thread with higher bids for the player. The bidding will end when 24 hours has passed since the last valid bid. Your math must be correct for the bid to be valid.
Contract years add value based on the following: $1M = 1 point
1 Year = 1.00X multiplier - 1 Year @ 5 mil = 5 X 1 = 5 points
2 Year = 1.20X multiplier - 2 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.20 = 6 points
3 Year = 1.40X multiplier - 3 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.40 = 7 points
4 Year = 1.60X multiplier - 4 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.6= 8 points
5 Year = 1.80X multiplier - 5 Years @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.80 = 9 points
More Examples:
1 Year @ 1 mil = 1 x 1 = 1 point
3 Years @ 1 mil = 1 X 1.4= 1.4 pts
1 Years @ 1.4 mil = 1.4 X 1 = 1.4 pts
3 Years @ 1.3 mil = 1.3 X 1.4 = 2.2pts
1 Year @ 1.8 mil = 1.8 X 1 = 1.8 pts
Bids are flat annual salary figures, therefore you cannot back-load or front-load a salary.
Bids must be in the following format:
# of years, annual salary = total points
There will not be a limit on how many times a team can place a bid. However, a bid cannot be rescinded. A bid must stand without being challenged for 24 hours before a free agent is won. Bids must up the previous bid by at least 0.1 points. Invalid bids do not count against the clock. A signed free agent may not be traded for a two week period. You may not place a bid on a player if you do not have the cap space to take on his current year contract. This does not mean you can create cap space after the fact; it must be available at the time of bidding (including all other active high bids).
Hometown Discount
You may receive a hometown discount on a free agent depending on how long you have owned the player:
1 year: 5%
2-3 years: 10%
4-5: 15%
6+: 20%
Note: This must be posted at the time of the bid. If you win a player and forgot to calculate the hometown discount, it will not be applied.
