RFA TEST BIDS potential issue: I just made a test bid for an RFA for 6.75M which required "1 First Round Pick and a 3rd"...both of which, I possess. However, an error message appeared stating "Picks Not Available" and no RFA bid appeared in the bid on player section. Question 1: Are the 2020 Picks loaded into our tables to allow us to make these test bids, and consequently, make our live bids next week? I did make a test bid on a 1M player, Zach Fucale and it worked. Question 2: When we go "RFA live" on Friday, will the RFA bid price be below 1M? There are RFA I's that have an asking price less than the 1M minimum. For Ex: Zach Fucale asking 900K and requiring No Compensation. On the contrary, a 1M bid requires a GM to forfeit a 3rd Rd Pk. If you consult the charts on the RFAS page, you will see that bids over 6M for a RFA I or II requires 1st, 2nd and 3rd not just a 1st and 3rd. As you no longer have your 2nd, that is why you were unable to make the bid. On Friday minimum bids will be 8M and step down as per the schedule posted on the results thread. If you're allowed to use a 2021 1st to secure an RFA with a 6M+ bid, why can you not use a 2021 2nd? For ex: a 6M+ bid for RFA Max Domi The Winning Bidder would require - 6M up to 7.95M (2) First-round choices, (1) second-rounder and (1) third-rounder It doesn't specify that you need a 2020 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it simply states 2 1st's, a 2nd and a 3rd.

I'd imagine the lack of 2021 pick showing on roster pages is probably connected to the RFA bidding page not recognizing that you have them either.

We've never ( at least I don't recall ) had an owner bid on an RFA where it required giving up 2-Firsts, one from the next seasons draft and one from two years out. BUT, it is possible. especially in today's GHL where hot commodities are becoming available. I'm just pointing it out before the issue becomes a sticking point and affects the upcoming RFA process.

It's because you don't have you 2020 2nd any longer. Whenever a pick is required as comp, or 2 for that matter, by default these are considered to be the most current upcoming pick(s).

That's fine, I'm ok with it, and I even expected that to be the rule...BUT, It doesn't state anywhere that this is the rule by default. Had I still owned my 2020 2nd, I would have tested my same bid, so you are saying that it would have worked? Even though we don't have 2021 Draft Picks added? I'm just trying to make sure all of our obstacles are merely speed bumps.

My favorite part of the test bidding: ** THE AGENT LAUGHS AT YOU ** I'm assuming, when this response appears, that there is already a bid higher than the one you submitted? If so, I think this should be turned off so that GM's submit their finest offers and hope for the best, as it is in UFA.

I will be clearing the test bids later this afternoon and then sending an email and updating the primary FA thread alerting folks to the fact that bidding we be live.
It is important for the new guys to know that any bids made in the first 2 or 3 rounds will come at a significant price of draft assets if the current owner does not decide to match. This is the Restricted Free Agency phase and not the Unrestricted Free Agency phase which will follow in a few weeks.
Guys that have brought new players in this year please make sure they are aware of the distinction.
Thanks!
