After reviewing all of the free agent bids, I noticed that many teams did not follow the bidding template that was outlined in the rules. I was extremely lenient in terms of allowing these bids to count, but they will not in the future. Please submit your bids in the following way:
I would prefer if you do not include the words "contract" or other such words in the post. It takes a significant amount of time to get the bids in the right format.
I also noticed that many teams did not include the player's name in the PM Subject Title. Please title your PM with the players name, like "Jose Valverde" as opposed to "Contract offer...", and also make individual PMs for each player. DO NOT put several bids in one message. Most teams place all bids in single PM and can do either method. One PM is conducive to priority lists.
Now that winning bids have been posted, you must create some sort of Transactions page to post the contracts on, or add the FA wins to an already existing transactions page.
Remember that if you exceed the 50-man roster or salary cap, you have to make a corresponding move whether via trade, Waivers, DFA, or releasing players.
For two weeks after signing a free agent, teams cannot trade said player(s) or waive said player(s) or DFA said player(s). Teams will still be able to release the player, as always.
Please be aware to follow these rules, or else you will not be able to win free agents.
