This year we have decided to implement RFA. Now what does this mean? What are the rules? This post is intended to describe all of that. What does it mean:What is RFA? RFA is a chance to keep your rookie deals and having the finals say on if you can keep them or let them go. Who's at risk?With RFA, you will never lose your star unless you're an idiot. Yes, I said it, IDIOT. It's the middle tier guys you have to worry about. We want to implement this in order to allow these middle tier guys to be attainable so we can have a more robust FA period. In previous years, you never really had a shot to make a big effect on your team. To quote our most experience GM Wignosey, "Player movement is the lifeblood of a league". We've heard you loud and clear. Now if you want a player, chances are you're going to have to pay. What are the Rules?
There are 3 periods to RFA. The Qualifying Offer Period, the Bidding Period and the Accepting Declining Period. 1. Qualifying Offer PeriodTray will set up the list of all players eligible for Free Agents and let you decide if you accept the QO or not. There are two options. Accept or Decline the offer. In essence, do you want to exercise RFA rights on the player or not. PLEASE POST ALL ACCEPT/DECLINES HERE: => fbbsimleague.proboards.com/thread/1368/restricted-agency-qualifying-accept-declineA.) If you Accept: This cap hold is placed on your team and subtracted from your open cap space. B.) If you Decline: You open cap space is accurate but your player will be open to bid for all. (Pretty simple) Example of RFA Cap Holds (Qualifying offer):2. The Bidding Period
If you have accepted your players RFA rights, Tray will send out updated cap figures and the fun begins. You may now (if you have the cap room), bid on players. Remember, if you decided to accept the cap hold, you won't have that amount in your cap space despite the index saying so. IF
- YOUR BID ON ANOTHER TEAMS RFA YOU MAY ONLY BID 4 YEAR DEALS.
Example of updated Cap figure report:3. The Accepting or Declining Period
Once the bidding period has ended, we will take the top offer from each team and ask the retaining team if they would like to match the deal and keep said player, or if they would like him to go into the market and have all bids placed on him input into the system. We will not announce the top bids because there could be multiple of the same. Important to note: If you bid on a player who's team to decides to decline him, you may not remove the deal. Only deals placed during the RFA period will be input for said players. This will be during the normal first bidding period. Again, someone cannot decide they want to bid on said player at this time. Now that I've won my player, Now What?If you have either signed a RFA from another team or have matched an offer for your own RFA, you may not trade him for 1 full year to anyone. - No Trades for 1 sim league year Timelines:Qualifying Offer Period: Due 8:00 PM June 26 Bidding Period: Due 8:00 PM June 27 Accept or Decline Period: Due 8:00 PM June 28 Round 1 FA: Due 7 PM June 29 Rest: TBA

We also want to apologize for the timing of this. But this was unanimous and the person most affected by it in our group proposed it. We think it's a good move for the future of our league. Please ask any questions you may have.
Edit: As Tray says below, had to happen with the first wave. We wanted constancy even if we had to be inconstant in doing so.

Needed to go in this year or never. Darth has been opposed for a while to RFA and we found a way to make it work.

AKA you won't lose Dale Could I accept the 4.7 and he'd be on my team right now or do I have to wait til someone shoots him a offer 1st? Is 4.7 the max anyone can offer him?

The cap hold is a way to keep people from using their cap to drive up the price on other RFAs and still have the option to keep their guys too. 4.7 is not what his deal is. Could be more, could be less.

No, you'll have to wait till someone else offers him a deal. A max is the most someone else can offer.

You will know the available space you have for round 1 before the bids are due.

I believe Max is 25% of the cap, which would be the amount of Dikembe's cap hold ($5.1mil)... please someone correct me if im wrong

Again, we apologize for the last second timing of this. But this will definitely work out to make FA and the future of the league a lot more exciting.

Suppose I tender a QO and nobody bids on my player. Do I have to offer him at least the amount of my cap hold? Can I offer a deal less than 4 years? Can I then elect to waive th QO and let him become an unrestricted FA (and thus use him in a S&T)?

What if I had Kobe or LeBron and wanted to offer a super max. Would I decline QO and offer him the Super Max keeping him that extra year?
