With the opening of the UFA Bidding period just a day or so away, I thought it’d be pertinent to restate the ground rules on how the bidding should occur, specifically on how to format bids and whatnot. Tracking bids will be much easier if everyone conforms to the formats below.

1. There is no need to enter your team name, since your user ID’s automatically will list your team name and helmet next to all posts. Further the server will timestamp all posts.

2. All Initial Bids must follow the same format for the Subject Line… that is

Position, Player’s Full name, NFL Team, Bid Amount

for example:
RB, Eddie George, Tennessee, 1800

The body of the message for initial bids may be left blank, or you may add some commentary if you wish.

3. All subsequent bids must be within the same thread as the Initial bid. Please list your increased bid on the 1st line of the message. You may add commentary if you wish by skipping a line and then entering your message on the 3rd line.

continuing the George example:
1850

Comeback year... just watch!

4. All player’s must have their OWN bidding thread.

DO NOT bid upon multiple players in 1 thread. Doing so will invalidate all bids after the initial player, further, the violating team will be prohibited upon bidding on involved players for 14 days.

5. All bids must start AT or the league minimum of 100.

6. Keep in mind the minimum bid increment amounts.

For bids from 100-999 the minimum bid increment is 5

For bids from 1000-1999 the minimum bid increment is 20

For bids from 2000 and up, the minimum bid increment is 50

7. For the Off-Season Free Agency period, we will have a 48 hour clock for bids made on Monday through Thursday and a 72 hour clock for bids made on Friday or Saturday...

example 1... a bid made at 4pm on Thursday will sell at 4pm on Saturday unless it is upped

example 2... a bid made on Friday at 2pm won't sell until Monday at 2pm.

8. Players will be considered SOLD if a bid is not increased within 48 hours of the last bid (if made on a Mon-Thurs) or 72 hours if the last bid is made on a Friday or Saturday.
