-WE-SA, 5/29-6/1 – Free Agent Bidding.
Free agent bidding will be over 4 days. All bids posted on a player will be posted each day so that everyone can see how everyone else is bidding. (Leading bid each day will include years/bid/raise (if any) and total. Other bids will just show total.) To win a player, you have to have the top bid for a 1-day period, from one update to the next. Bidding will close each day at 10 pm ET and if you are not outbid during the proceeding 24 hours, you win the player. If you are, you have the next period to re-up your bid. On the last day (Day 4), team with leading bid gets the player. On Day 2, or 3 or 4, if your bid was not the leading bid on a player you can choose not to re-bid and use that money on another player. But if yours is the leading bid, you can not alter or reduce that bid even if no one else is bidding. You also CAN NOT re-up your bid if you have the leading bid, except on the final day of bidding.
