<strong>FREE AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT</strong>
UFA bidding begins tomorrow and thus it's a good idea to read through everything below so you know what's happening.

<strong>How It Works</strong>
The bidding process is a silent auction. Each day of the free agency period will feature a list of names that can be bid on (see post above for full list). Teams will submit their bids privately to <a href="/users/nickthehabsfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="/users/nickthehabsfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@nickthehabsfan</a></a> on Twitter. The winning bidder is awarded the player contract specified in the bid; there will be no contract matching; the winning bid can not be refused and the lottery draw will be done between the teams with the top 3 offers.

1 Bonus point will be worth a 5% bonus to your offer only in the lottery. Once everybody submits their offers the top 3 offers will be placed in a lottery for the player. If a team doesn’t get into the top 3 lottery, the bonus points used will be returned, however, if you get into a lottery and lose while using bonus points, they will not returned. Non-playoff teams get 5 bonus points, 1st and 2nd round exits receive 6, and the final 4 all get 7.

The offers that get into the lottery are based on a calculation of the strength of the offer. The AAV value is worth 70% while the term is worth 30%. Playoff and ownership bonuses are also applied before the lottery so if a final 4 team and a non-playoff team offer the same contract and are competing for the 3rd lottery spot, the final 4 team will get in.

<strong>What are the Bonuses I can receive?</strong>
See <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IlK4QLnYNgsVofEx8xtIRN-OE0EYvHb0Y1HC2APLU8Y/edit#heading=h.t7956a8sfiou" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">this link</a> from the rulebook to see which bonuses you are eligible to receive on a player.

<strong>How do I bid?</strong>
Bids will be sent to <a href="/users/nickthehabsfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="/users/nickthehabsfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@nickthehabsfan</a></a> on Twitter and can be sent early. In your message, you must include the following: <strong>Team, Player, Contract, Ownership Bonuses, and Bonus points you are using on a player.</strong> Do NOT include playoff bonuses as those are automatically applied.

Thanks,
BOG
