RFA minimum year requirements
The bidding process itself is the same as normal free agency. (Consult section 4.3 for the rules of the free agency bidding process.) However, the minimum year requirements are stricter than those in section 4.2.2.
The average annual salary (AAS) that a franchise bids in RFA will require a certain minimum number of years for the bid to be valid. The minimum contract term is based solely on the RFA offer's AAS and is determined as follows:
If AAS = $0.4M to $3M, then a minimum one-year deal is required.
If AAS = $3M+ to $6M, then a minimum two-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $6,000,002 to $12M)
If AAS = $6M+ to $9M, then a minimum three-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $18,000,003 to $27M)
If AAS = $9M+ to $12M, then a minimum four-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $36,000,004 to $48M)
If AAS = $12M+ to $15M, then a minimum five-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $60,000,005 to $75M)
If AAS = $15M+, then a minimum six-year deal is required. (Total contract will be at least $90,000,006)
5. A franchise may only offer an AAS up to 30 percent of their salary cap (as declared in section 3) to a single player.
League minimum salary and maximum years
Full Count's league minimum salary is $400,000 ($0.4M). The longest you may sign a player to a contract at the league minimum is two years (except in the case of a restricted free agent not receiving an offer, as outlined in 4.1.2). The longest you can sign a player to a contract with an average annual salary of less than $750,000 ($0.75M) — i.e. more than $400,000 and less than $750,000 — is three years. The longest any contract can be is six years.
Simply, you can divide the AAS by 3M, then round UP to determine the MINIMUM number of years the contract must cover. Any bid not meeting the correct minimum term offered will be voided.
The bidder can always make a contract term LONGER than the minimum number of years since the AAS only determines the MINIMUM term.
As in all FA bidding, the bidder must clearly state the 1.) contract term (number of years), 2.) total contract amount, 3.) AAS, and 4.) breakdown of the salary offer for each year of term of the contract OR clearly state it is equally allocated to each year. If the offer is not specific and include the above criteria, then it will be deemed an invalid bid.
Since the bidding is for a RFA, then pursuant to Rule 12, the GM who held the restricted player has 48 hours to match the winning bid, and may restructure that bid for a total contract amount no less and a term no longer than that of the "winning" bid. If the restricting GM chooses not to match the offer, then the winning bidder is obligated to sign the player to the exact terms of the winning bid - there is NO option to remove or reneg on any bid placed.
The 48 hour acceptance "clock" will commence with the winning bid being posted of the last player of the RFA batch by the League Office.
The discussion above applies ONLY TO RESTRICTED free agent bidding. Normal, or Unrestricted, free agent bidding is covered under general FA bidding rulings.
4.3.3 Rulings:
As in real life, sometimes players receive numerous contract offers. The player will ultimately choose the franchise that has offered them the most lucrative contract. The primary criterion in determining the winner of a free agent is the average annual salary (AAS) of the contract; the franchise that bid the highest AAS wins the player.
In the rare event two bids have the same average annual salary, below are the tie-breakers that will be utilized in determining which franchise will win the right to sign a player. Only proceed to the second tie-breaker in cases where the first tie-breaker ends in a tie.
Tie-breaker #1: If the AAS for two or more contract offers is the same, then the franchise that offered the contract with the most number of years is awarded the player.
Tie-breaker #2: In the rare case when two or more contract offers have the same AAS and the same number of years, then the franchise that made the contract offer first is awarded the player.
Compensation for Losing Restricted Free Agent: Based on the AAS contract the player receives in RFA.

5M+ to 8M:___Winners 3rd round pick and a Sandwich pick after 3rd and 4th
