FA RULES:
- Each team has an MLE to use, the amount is based off whether you're over or under the soft cap. Rules related to MLE are available below. Teams also have a BAE which cannot be used in consecutive seasons. Rules for that are also listed below.
- Bids are due before the scheduled sim time, as soon as the scheduled bid time hits the bids are locked in and exported.
- All bids must be done via the app: https://fantasysportsdaily.net/forums/bids.php
- You must hit "Submit Bids" for your bids to be submitted. Submitting bids will override any bids you currently have submitted, so you can do it multiple times if you wish. Your current bids that you're working on should also auto save as you go within the application, so you shouldn't need to hit "Submit Bids" until you actually are ready.
- If you do not wish to send bids for a given free agency period, select no bids and that will submit no bids.
- Any bids not made for your assigned team will be ignored.
- Types of bids include: standard, Larry Bird, Early Bird, Non-Bird, MLE and BAE.
Larry Bird Exception:
Who Qualifies - Own free agent, 3 seasons without changing teams as a free agent
Minimum Years - 1
Maximum Years - 5
Maximum Salary - Maximum salary
Maximum Raises/Decreases - 8% (Decrease -8%)
Early Bird Exception:
Who Qualifies - Own free agent, 2 seasons without changing teams as a free agent
Minimum Years - 2
Maximum Years - 4
Maximum Salary - 175% of previous salary
Maximum Raises/Decreases - 8% (Decrease -8%)
Non-Bird Exception:
Who Qualifies - Own free agent, if not Larry Bird or Early Bird
Minimum Years - 1
Maximum Years - 4
Maximum Salary - Greater of 120% of previous salary or 120% of minimum salary
Maximum Raises/Decreases - 5% (Decrease -5%)
FA Contract Ranges:
- Minimum contracts go up for each year of experience the player you are offering it to, has. They can be up to two years, there is no set increase as the next years' salary on a two year minimum always has to be the next years' minimum, look for the corresponding year below.
- Maximum contracts work the same way, look for the corresponding year below.
- Mid-Level exception can be for up to four years in length, with raises up to 5% (Decrease -5%). It may also be split
*See numbers below for corresponding year.
**If you are under the cap after the draft, you qualify to use the Under Cap MLE. If you are over you use the standard MLE.
- Bi-Annual exception can be for up to two years in length, with raises up to 5% (Decrease -5%). It may also be split.
*See numbers below for corresponding year.
**This is bi-annual and cannot be used in two consecutive seasons.
***This cannot be used in conjunction with the Under Cap MLE.
