So here is a different question: is there some mechanism in place by which a team cannot bid past its cap room?

No I would assume everyone would know what was going on with that. It being said they have until opening day to right the ship. They would have to make trades or release players to get under the cap room or start losing games

That just wastes time and runs the prices up. I think there should be a rule that you can't be actively bidding in excess of your cap space. |

The counterpoint to this is that if that bidder were to win, they would struggle to "fix" their team and get it under the cap. Risk vs Reward. |

I'm pretty good with math and the bid points system is still very confusing to me. For the first week or so if someone makes a bid, on a player someone else has a bid on, that does not fit the rules instead of just saying the bid is illegal or ignoring the bid can someone explain why the bid is wrong so we can all get used to the system?

Yea we definitely will be watching that. Letting people know it's not enough etc if we see someone doing that we will let them know I don't think we will miss that seeing as that's what pretty much made me leave another league hahaha

I'm happy to give this bid points thing a shot, esp if you guys who've done it before swear by it. As others have already said, I'd expect some backup on the calculations if they don't look right. Anyway, is there an announced time yet for the minor league draft to commence? |

Bid points are listed differently in here as everywhere else- a 3 year contract here is 1.1 BP while everywhere else it's 1.2

Bid points are listed differently in here as everywhere else- a 3 year contract here is 1.1 BP while everywhere else it's 1.2 Right before FA started, there was a rule change that was voted on by the trade committee. We changed the structure of the multi-year multiplier. Previously, it was: 1 year - 1 2 years - 1 3 years - 1.1 4 years - 1.2 5 years - 1.3 It is now: 1 year - 1 2 years - 1.1 3 years - 1.2 4 years - 1.3 5 years - 1.4 The vote was 5-1 in favor of the change. |
