Whicker Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I guess count me in for those that had no idea there'd be any RFA bids. It just seems like bad practice. Hey opponent, I'm gonna give you the max options on how to utilize both my and your assets. How do you want them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is a no, but can someone with a 7th bid on a player with a 1st round tender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly do you think that would work? Also, our RFA rules are linked in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just double checking something, had an eye on a player with a 6th round tender wanted to know if it was possible to bid on a player round(s) above your highest pick and figured I'd ask the extreme version of the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basing this off the fact that I've been playing competitive games for my entire life at a high level, and I believe I know a thing or two about game theory, just as any professional would claim outstanding knowledge in their field.

Let's pretend for a second that BDL is a game with more defined resources. We have three of them: talent, draft picks, and cap space. Let's say I have a move that says "player X loses 10 cap space points" and a move that says "player X chooses to lose 20 talent points, 20 draft picks points, or 20 cap space points." The first move is the optimal choice over the second. You can utilize your move in the best way possible to have the maximum effect on someone (like when someone is tight and needs a waiver claim). The second move will almost never completely screw someone over. They have to be completely unable to sacrifice any of their resources in order for this to be truly punishing.

I would really, really, really prefer if you would save these lessons til after RFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
