RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
With the opening of the RFA Bidding period just hours away, I thought it’d be pertinent to lay down some 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, Marshal Faulk, St Louis, 3,000 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 Faulk example: 3250 Can’t let Jake get him TOO cheap! 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 ABOVE the tender amount. 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. Remember, RFA bidding is much different than UFA bidding. The tendering team will have the opportunity to match the winning bid, therefore don’t bid too low or you could be giving a guy away to the tendering team. 8. Players will be considered SOLD if a bid is not increased within 48 hours of the last bid. 9. The tendering team will have 72 hours from the timestamp of the winning bid to match the winning bid and retain the player at the winning bid price. The match must be posted in the same thread where all the bidding occurred. 10. Have fun! Last edited by Preds; May 8th, 2020 at 11:23 PM. |

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
Thanks. I guess that also means that for those players that have not bid on by midnight tonight they will stay with the tendering team at the tender price?

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
When is the 72 hour weekend clock in effect? Is that for off season and in season free agency, or have we done away with that altogether?

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
I like the idea of a 48 hour "no bid" end to the RFA period... we could push it up to 72 hours, to account for people taking trips over long weekends. But I'm fine with the way we have it. I remember last year we were all itching to get the league moving, but it ended up fine with the time frame we've already established. It's not like we can push up the rookie draft or anything.
By the way, speaking of the rookie draft, there's a guy in my church who's got an outside chance to get drafted this year. His name is Joseph Siofele, and he's an ILB who played for the University of Arizona. He's been contacted by a couple of teams already (Raiders, Chargers & ???), but wasn't invited to the Combine... so he could very well be tendered a Free Agent offer at the end of the draft. Anyway, it's kinda cool to see how he's been doing (he was an all-state high school player in Hawaii, and was named the defensive MVP for UofA this past year). If he makes it, I could have an "inside source" in the fantasy world! |

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
Burt, may not be a bad idea to give the new guys some RFA tips to.
for example, RFA is a completely different animal. If you truly want a player, the goal is to bid high enough so that the tendering team declines the match. Bidding the tender amount in most cases will result in an easy match. Basically, whereas in UFA you want to bid as low as you can to win a guy, in RFA you bid much higher and generally overpay in order to make the match difficult on the tendering teams (like the Bills recently did in massively overpaying Charles Clay so Miami wouldn't or couldn't match). Thus, IMO, don't start low with RFA's, bid much higher, maybe leave some wiggle room for your max if you expect competition for the bid, but otherwise don't pussyfoot around with low bids on RFA's as the tending team is much more likely to make an easy match and save CB's in the process.

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
Did we decide on what to do with illegal bids?? Last year this happened and no decision was made other than to pipe up and tell the guy the next offer was too low. Is the illegal bid considered an actual offer for the player and thus increased automatically to be at the correct level or is it simply no longer in effect because it was not high enough? Just checking in case a mistake occurs and no one speaks up. (The example would be a bid of over 1000 that was only an increase of 10 instead of the minimum 20...this would be illegal and the time expired on the player - who wins and at what price is owner to match/decline at?)

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
People make mistakes... So it should be pointed out. It's still not a legal bid until it's the proper amount. This is a friendly league. If you notice an illegal bud, please say so.

Re: RFA Bidding... PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING BIDS
It goes against my competitive nature, but I understand and will comply...What I mean is that I am not as friendly to people/owners I am trying to crush...my team blows and I see I am at least a year away from even being competitive (frustrating)....I get it though...Thanks champ!
