Free Agent Bidding 2004

AND THE WINNERS ARE..........................

Free agent bidding via the Chat Box will begin on Friday, 3/27, at approximately 11 AM PT. I will note in the chat box when bidding has started so please keep an eye open around that time.

GENERAL BIDDING DETAILS
* List the player(s) you are bidding on like so: NYY OF Joe DiMaggio $8/10 = $80
* ALL BIDS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE OF $20 ◀
* Maximum years: 10
* Bids, once made, cannot be revoked.
* Free agency will last a minimum of 48 hours. After that, bids on players will end 24 hours after the last valid bid is made on any player.
* The highest total dollar amount wins a player. To outbid someone, you must offer more total dollars. If two bids have the same amount of total dollars offered, the one who bid it first wins the player.
* Each owner is responsible for knowing how many contracts and how much money he has left in his budget. Consequently, each owner is then responsible for not bidding more than he has or signing more than 40 contracts. Anyone who bids more money than exists in his available budget or over signs the # of contracts will have ALL of his bids vacated, he will win ZERO free agents and those players will stay in the free agent pool for waiver claims.
* If free agency runs into a lengthy process, and there are only a couple of players still receiving bids, the Commissioner's office reserves the right to invite those bidders to submit one sealed bid on the player(s) involved to resolve the process in a more efficient manner.
