I have had an e-mail address set up for us. It is dynasty10FreeAgency@yahoo.com. I will have a friend monitor it so that I can't know ahead of time what bids are. Any errors made in sending bids are the responsibility of the team owner. If you make a mistake and mistype the address, there is no do-over.
Bidding will start Monday 1/26, do not send any bids to the e-mail address prior to this. Only bid on the players who are up for bid each day.
FREE AGENCY BIDDING AND RULES
1. All Players are split up by their primary positions (They may be eligible at multiple
positions, it is on each owner to check), and are divided up into different threads under
the Free Agent Bidding Categories.
2. Free agents will be posted a few at a time over a period of a few weeks in January.
3. To bid, you will send an e-mail with the player's name in the subject and your bid
listed within the message. ONLY ONE PLAYER CAN BE BID UPON PER E-MAIL.
4. The subject line should have the player name and your team name in it. For example: Jon Lester - Joe Buck Yourself.
5. In the e-mail, state your bid. State the bid as $.5 for $500,000, $4.8 for $4,800,000, and so on. Make sure you have enough cap room to cover your bid.
6. Bids cannot be retracted.
7. Any won free agents cannot be traded until the regular season begins.
8. Blind bids will be submitted, and the highest bid will win the player. Please understand that the salary of the free agent you have won for this coming year will be whatever your winning bid was. After the first year on your team as a FA, his salary reverts back to what his contract says.
Ex: You bid $55 million and win Jon Lester. Even though his new salary in Chicago is $20M, your salary towards your cap this year will be the $55M winning bid price. Then, next year, his salary reverts back to his contract salary.
9. You have 24 hours from when the free agent is won to accommodate a free agent addition on your roster (roster space and salary cap). If you do not make a corresponding move to accommodate the player, you will be charged $2.00 cap for the year, and the player is re-posted. (The league will be PM'ed in the event of this so everyone will know a player is available again).
10. Won Free Agents can be dropped by their owner at half the cost of the winning bid (rounded to the nearest 0.1). (If you win Player X for $4.5, and decide to drop him, you are still charges $2.3 for the rest of the season, you get the $2.3 back at the end of the season).
11. Bids must be in $0.1 increments.
12. Minimum starting bids are $0.5.
13. Players who receive no bids during the free agent process are still free agents, but you must have them at their 2014 salary. They can only be added after free agency period is over.
14. Any bids submitted before 12:01am EST the day of the player bidding or after midnight EST the day of bidding will be void.
15. The winning bidder will pay $1 more than the second place bid, if there are multiple bidders. Even if one person bids $22.5 and another bids $22.3, the winning bid will be charged $23.3.
16. In the event there is only one bid for a player, the bid put forth by the owner will be the winner. Ex: one bidder for Ichiro at $3 will result in the winning bid being $3.
17. In the event of a tie for the high bid, the two owners will receive a PM. They will have 24 hours to submit a new bid. The same rule applies that whoever is highest will pay $1 more than the runner-up bid. If an owner fails to submit a new bid, the other owner will win by default so long as they have submitted a second bid.
Bidding will start Monday 1/26, do not send any bids to the e-mail address prior to this. Only bid on the players who are up for bid each day.
