yeah, If I won the bid I would clear the space, if not I would leave it alone. Sorry to anyone if they think I was wrong in going about it like that.
I think it would be sort of hard for a team to go about dropping players each time to increase their cap space and then later losing the bid meaning they lose a bunch of players and don't gain anything.
I'm absolutely willing to discuss how the mods want to go about this, since it's likely to come up at some point in the future of the league anyway. For now though I'm going to go ahead and roster him and clear the space.
again, I was aware of this, sorry to anyone if that was a problem. No ill intent was intended.

Well, the Brewers topped the Reds bid so we are going to pick up at the Brewers bid now. IF no one bids before 7 tomorrow then it will be over.

oh, right, I am not very good at reading time stamps apparently. Brewers bid is the standing bid.
Either way this should be a good time to open up the dicussion on how the league feels about people bidding over their cap with some players in mind who they could drop. I had planned all along to drop people if I needed, and probably should have done it beforehand anyway (I was honestly just being lazy). This could be something we have covered in the new constitution when it is written up.

I think that it should be fine to do so as long as you have a corresponding move. Like I said, I think if you bid too high, then it is your fault and you should have to attempt to clear space. Maybe in some cases we can have a bid removed, but I think a warning should be issued. Warnings get cleared every 90 days so it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid them. I don't know what the penalty would be for so many warnings though so any suggestions. I don't think banning would be appropriate.

Don't I win the bid since the Dodgers never increased his?

Is Brewers last bid - 1 year @ $5M, legit? My last bid has the greater total amount 14.7M to 5, but his has the higher average value - 5 to 2.1M. How does that 20% discount thing work? Thanks!
If his bid is legitimate, then I fully intend to increase my bid to the minimum required amount to be recognized as a legitimate bid, the duration of the contract to be 7 years. Cheers!

The bid with more offered over the life of the contract is the leading bid. The 5mil bid is invalid.
From the League Rules:
Free Agency: Any team can bid on a free agent. The team that offers the most total money is the winner. However, the yearly rate (a multi-year contract must have identical salaries in each year) must be within 20% per extra year of the next-best yearly rate that offers less total money. Example: 1 year-$8M vs. 2 years-$10M contract. The yearly rate on the 2 year deal is $5 million. However, under this system, the deal must be worth at least $6.4M ($8M times .8) annually, for a final contract of 2 years-$12.8 million. For each additional year offered above the next-best number of years, you can knock off twenty percent per year. For a 3 year deal in this structure, you'd have to offer at least $5.12M per year ($6.4M times .8) for a final offer of three years-$15.36 million. The maximum number of years offered is seven years. A player is awarded to a team after no other team has offered a higher bid amount for 24 hours. A signed free agent cannot be traded until May 1 of the season. One team can sign only three players in any one position category.
