Salary Cap
Free Agent Bidding (Auction) Policy
For Contract information
- The Salary Cap is set to $280
- You are allowed to exceed the salary cap when making a trade and you then have 24 hours to make a corresponding move to get back under the cap. You are not allowed to trade players acquired in the original deal as that not trade is not official. However, you are allowed to cut player being acquired to get back under the cap.
- You are NOT allowed to exceed the salary when bidding on a free agent. If the bid you make puts you over the salary cap, you MUST declare who you are cutting to make it a legal bid and get you under the salary cap.
Free Agent Bidding (Auction) Policy
- Here are minimum bid increases for bidding on Free Agent Auctions.
Minimum bid increase: $0.5M when the current bid is less than $20M
Minimum bid increase: $1M when the current bid is $20M or greater.
Minimum salary is $1M - The in-season auction timeclock will be 24 hours for the first bid. 24 hours for every bid thereafter.
The off-season auction timeclock is 24 hours for the first bid. 24 hours for every bid thereafter - If a GM ups his already leading bid, the 24 hour clock will not reset. The time stamp of the original bid will still be recognized.
- If a GM nominates a player with no opening bid and that player goes 24hrs without receiving a bid, the nominating GM gets the player on a 1x1 contract.
- If you have to declare a cut player with your bid (cap or roster), you are allowed to change that cut player up until the auction closes. After the auction is won you will not be allowed to change the player being cut.
- There is an in-season singing limit of 25 players (Opening day until signing deadline.)
- The Free Agent Signing Deadline is August 31. An auction can continue past Aug. 31 only if the auction was started before the deadline has passed.
