Post subject:  Free Agency Rule Reminder

From the constitution:

- FREE AGENCY

Any free agent asking for 3 or more years MUST be offered a contract for at least 3 years for the duration of the first (pre-draft) 12 stage free agency period. In the second (post-draft) free agency period, any contract may be offered.

Any GM violating this rule will have the player immediately cut (thus penalizing with bonus payment) and will also lose a draft pick at the Commissioner's discretion.


-ROSTERS

1. A team may never have more than 70 players under contract at any one time.

Thank you for these rule reminders; as an new GM they are beyond helpful.

Considering it's 3ric we're talking about here, you should have used the name Oldie F

There's a shitload of illegal contracts in the last FA stage, from AI teams (a problem we did not anticipate back then) but also human GMs: Omaha, Hartford, Tucson, New Orleans, Seattle, Denver, Brookly, Vegas...

What's the plan?

I made an illegal offer? I thought I was very careful.

Which offer is illegal?


Based on precedence from last season, the penalty would start with any signed player being released and the team would forfeit at least a 7th round pick. Obviously, I don't get much of a vote if I'm the one in trouble.

fff, I think you might have misread the rule. The rule simply says that if a player is asking for 3 or more years, then they must be offered a deal of at least 3 years.

I just double checked all of the offers in the current sim and none of them are illegal. For reference, here is the list of players that need offers of at least 3 years:

No problem. I've been plenty tired lately (damned jetlag seems to take forever to get past!), so I know where you're coming from. :)

I got confused and mixed up our rule with the one in WOOF where every free agent must be offered at least a 3 year contract...

It did strike me as odd that so many people would suddenly forget about the rule, including Masked who had just bumped it... :?

That's a dumb rule. Why would someone offer a 3 year deal to a 12-year vet that is only asking for a 1-year contract?

That doesn't even begin to make sense...

First of all you said human GM's and then lumped Vegas in that group. I am also curious to what offers were illegal?

There were no illegal offers. fff simply confused the FA rules from this league with another.
