Which league?

I need to figure out which teams are abandoned and which aren't, but it's challenging in the playtest leagues because folks sometimes used different names than their cp name.

Aboutt 3/4 of the teams were active during the rookie draft in both leagues. I haven’t systematically looked at activity in free agency yet.

Well the league that I’m Crown Point, I think I counted only 12 teams bidding on FAs. That was the first league. I haven’t checked 2nd league but I’m guessing it’s about the same.

The current initial draft going is pretty lame. Not much smack talk, and almost every single team auto picks after an hour. It’s as if they aren’t participating, but somehow aren’t making terrible pics. Maybe in future drafts, make the auto draft box default to already checked

Only see about 10 teams active In FA In second league

You are clearly tanking this year after building a disappointing roster

I'm buying a woman's ice hockey team.

It's a growing market.

So, I'm posting this PSA to keep anyone from wasting an entire year or two of rollover cap space.
You will have the opportunity to sign your free agents that have suitors from other teams.
If you let the opening bid work through, you'll have the chance to sign that guy, at what I assume is a bit of a premium over the winning bid.
If you bid against the suitors to retain the player's services, then you just run up the price of the player you'll have the final opportunity to sign.
Hope this helps someone. FML.

Can you explain that to me like I’m a 5 year old? I posted on the forum how do I know if I get the player I won or not?

There’s a player awarded section below the free agent draft box.

I believe, and I could be wrong, but if you bid on a player that is on another teams roster that has no contract ( is a FA ), and you win the bidding war so to speak...the original owner has 24 hours to bid to retain said player. I think the original owner has to increase the years of the contract by one.

Don't ask me if the contract is already over 7 years, how that gets sorted out.

Correct.

I understood that part. I didn’t know what happened after I won the bid. Didn’t know about the 24 hour part. FYI I really don’t like that the previous owner gets
