How To Submit Bids
- During the FA Period bids are submitted to the Commish by PM (on the boards) with the subject line reading something like “Celtics FA Bids – Day 1”
- You must include the players first and last name, the number of years the deal is for, the percent raise each year, and the amount of the 1st year of the contract.
- If you are offering a player the minimum (minimum allowed based on experience for one year) you only need to put the players first and last name and “minimum”.
- If you are offering a player the maximum (maximum salary and length based on salary rules) you only need to put the players first and last name and “maximum”
- Bids are saved in the sim so you don’t need to repost the same bids, they automatically go to the next day.
