RULES ON FA SIGNINGS
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: All players that were undrafted after 8 rounds of drafting is completed automatically becomes unrestricted free agents. This means that any team can sign any of these players on a first-come first-sign basis as long as the team doesn't exceed their salary cap. Teams just need to PM the league COMMISSIONER about the signing intent and the updated salary cap to prevent confusions. The first team to send the PM gets the player.
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: All players whose contracts have expired are considered RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS for 1-week after the contract expiration. Within this 1-week period, other GMs can try to acquire the player by offering a contract length and sent over to the league COMMISSIONER via PM. If the original team fails to match the said contract length, then the player goes to the team who offered the longest playing contract.
e.g. Kobe Bryant is under PEX_Ortigas_Rocekteers roster for 1 conference. After 1 conference, Kobe becomes a restricted FA. After 3 days, PEX_Pain_Relievers offered a 6-conference contract. PEX_Ortigas_Rocketeers could either match the 6-conference contract to retain Kobe or offer a longer contract. Otherwise, Kobe automatically goes to PEX_Pain_Relievers.
DROPPING OF PLAYERS: Teams can drop players from their lineups anytime even if the player has a live contract. But the players salary continues to count against the team's salary cap until the player's contract expires or until another team signs him up. In this case, the player that was dropped by the team becomes an UNRESTRICTED FA and the original team cannot sign the said player for a period of 7-days.
CHANGING PLAYER'S ERA: Each team owns exclusive rights to a drafted player. He could change the player's era on his roster anytime as long as he notifies the league COMMISSIONER via PM. Each change in ERA is counted as 1 move for the GM. We are imposing a maximum of 20 moves including trades, FA signings and changing of player's era. Once the max has been reached, no other moves will be allowed until after the conference ends.
