The primary criteria in determining a winner is the average annual salary ("AAS") of the contract.
In the rare two bids have the same average annual salary, the following tie-breakers that will be utilized to determine which team wins the right to sign the player.
Tie-Breaker #1:
If the average annual salary for two contract offers is the same, then the team who offered the longer contract shall win the right to sign the player.
Tie-Breaker #2:
If the first tie-breaker fails to create a winning bid than the second tie-breaker will be used. In which case, the player will go to the team who made their offer FIRST.
The commissioner’s office will post the winning team in the FA Winning Bids section. It is solely your responsibility to monitor the board and add any player you won to your roster. At this point, the player is ready to sign with your team and you may officially add the player to your 90-man roster and deduct his salary from your salary cap.
When you sign a player and your current roster is full or the new player causes you to exceed your salary cap, you will need to take corrective action (waive or trade player(s)) within 72 hours.
The new player may not be added to your ESPN roster until your roster is legal.
PLAN AHEAD. Failure to resolve your illegal roster within the 72 hour time period may result in your newly added player being dropped back into Free Agency.
Once a contract is signed, it can not be reworked or revoked. In essence, it is etched in stone. You are responsible for paying that contract until such time as the player is traded or dropped to free agency.
