7.1. The RFA session is TBL3's free agent system where players with expired contracts can move from team to team. Next to the draft, this is arguably the MOST important component for managing and building your team.
The annual RFA session begins April 1st and runs through
the entire month of April.
Any TBL3 player whose contract has expired (reaches 0 years)
will be eligible as long as they were on a TBL3 roster at the end of the previous season
The RFA schedule will be announced by the TBL3 Commissioner with the positions being rotated each season.
7.2. Free Agents Defined
Players become free agents (RFAs) when their contract status reaches 0 years.
7.2a. When a player's contract ends, he becomes a restricted free agent (RFA), who can be offered a contract by any team in the league with the current team given the right to match or beat the offer.
7.2b. A list of all of the upcoming RFA’s will be posted. ONLY PLAYERS THAT WERE ON A TBL3 FRANCHISE AT THE REGULAR SEASON WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE BIDS
7.2c. GMs must declare their FRANCHISE and TRANSITION players one week PRIOR to the start of the RFA session (the deadline will be announced by the TBL commissioner)
7.2d. ALL bids for RFA’s must be placed on the TBL Forum board (NOT the RTSports message board) under the thread labeled FREE AGENT BIDS. GMs must list: their team name, the name of the free agent, the amount of the bid, and his current NFL and TBL teams.
(EXAMPLE OF RFA BID)
Rebels would like to place a bid on:
RB Jamal Lewis (Atoms) - 5 blb
Once a post is made it cannot be edited, if you want to bid higher you must place another post on the message board. (IF A POST SHOWS THAT IT WAS EDITED IT WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND THE PLAYER WILL GO TO THE TEAM WITH THE NEXT HIGHEST BID)
7.2e. Free agent bidding will be done in sections based on positions (to be announced by TBL3 Commissioner)
7.2f. If a bid is placed on a player that has the FRANCHISE or TRANSITION tag by another franchise, that player's owner will not be notified that another team has made an offer to your player. Also all tagged players are only available for bid during the first week of the RFA period. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GM TO KEEP TRACK OF THE BIDS ON HIS PLAYERS, NOT THE COMMISSIONER
7.2g. If you wish to keep your player you must place a bid that matches or exceeds the highest bid on the board for your player. You will have ONE (1) day from the time that you are notified if applicable or from the time of a free agent bid to match that offer or you will lose that player to the team that placed the highest bid.
7.2h. The bidding day ends at 10:00 PM EST each day- Bids placed after this time will be counted towards the next day.
7.2i. The bidding process for any given player will end ONE DAY after the deadline when the final bid is posted on the message board at which time the commissioner will declare that players destination on the TBL forum board.
7.2j. If no other team submits a contract offer before the end of the RFA signing period, you may re-acquire that player at no cost.
7.2k. Teams must announce the number of contract years they are signing the player within one week from the end of the RFA session or the players will be placed back in the RFA pool.
7.2l. In the event that a team wins multiple bids on the same position OR their winning bid puts them over the limit at any position the team must immediately notify the TBL3 Commissioner their intentions. GMs will be forced to decide which player(s) they wish to keep. The released player(s) will be offered to the team that had next lowest bid. That GM may either chose to take him and pay the amount he bid or he can decline to accept the offer. In the event that the GM does not wish to keep the player, he will be placed back into the RFA pool to be bid on again. If the RFA period is over the player will return to the draft pool.
7.2m.The team that had won bids on multiple players will NOT receive ANY blb back from the players they won even in the event that they are released.
7.2o. GMs may bid more blbs on players than they possess. In the event they win bid(s) on players and do not have enough blb to cover them you will be notified by the TBL3 Commissioner and given 24 hours to acquire the blbs needed to complete the transaction or the player will be awarded to the next highest bid. The GM may elect to take the player offered of they can decline the player. If they elect to take him they must pay the cost of the bid they had posted on the message board. In the event the GM no longer wants the player he will be sent back to the RFA pool.
