READ:I am proposing a modification to how we do free agency. I will do my best to explain it all here but if you have any questions, DM me on Twitter before you vote (@NYR_GM_Dangles).
I will start off by saying that submitting bids will remain the same. You will have until 11:59pm of the day of bidding to submit your bids in the style of Team Name, Player, Years, Amount, Bonus % and Bonus Tokens.
The changes that are being proposed are as follows:
1. Players will be tiered in FA. Top players will be Tier 1, the next set Tier 2 and so on.
2. There will be changes to the schedule of FA. There will be a day in between voting to allow us to run the bids/draws and select the winners (this will become more clear as to why we need to do this as you read below). So Day 1 will be bidding, Day 2 BOG running numbers, Day 3 bidding, Day 4 running numbers etc. The reason for this will be explained below
3. This is the BIG one! You can bid on as few or as many players as you'd like and not have to worry about keeping every player you win or you can if you want. This will allow you to have a chance at your 2nd or 3rd choices if you do not win your top choice, unlike how it is done now where your 1st choice might be day 5 while your 2nd choice is day 2.
So this is how it will work...Day 1 - We bid on the X # of top tiered players from each position. You can bid on anyone you want, 1 player or all players. We then run the draw for each player as per usual but with 5 bids. If you win 1 draw only, you HAVE to take that player. If you win more than 1 draw, you have to take 1 player but can also take other players or decline the 2nd win (3rd, 4th etc.) player and that player then goes to the bidder that got 2nd in the draw. Day 3 you will bid on the 2nd tier of players and so on.
*We may make it so that you must give us a prioritized list of the players you are bidding on.
