You will have a total of FOUR methods of protecting your players from entering Free Agency and the Auction. Here are two of them, the Super Franchise Tag, and the Base franchise tag.
1. SUPER FRANCHISE TAG: When using this tag, the player tagged will not enter the draft and he can be signed for any number of years (under the cap). However, the franchise loses this tag for three full seasons. The Super Tag stays with the franchise, not the player! The player can be traded but the original team traded from does not get the Super Tag back!
Cost: 50 Beer Tokens
2. BASE FRANCHISE TAG: When a player has a base franchise tag placed upon him, the player does enter the auction. If the original team does not match the bid, then that franchise is awarded a 1st round pick from the team that had the highest bid. The 1st round pick must be for the current or following season. If the winning team has multiple 1st round picks, the owner can choose which 1st rd pick to surrender. Whomever wins the player at auction can sign him to any length contract under their cap!
Cost: 20 Beer Tokens. Bidding will start at 21 Beer Tokens. If the original owner loses the bid, there is no "refund" of the 20 Beer Tokens. The original owner only needs to match the highest bid. He does not have to outbid anyone for his franchise player.
NOTE: The Base Franchise Tag will be available EVERY season for each Franchise if they so desire to use it.
****ATTENTION**** Your choice of 1st round picks will be awarded to the team that base franchised the player. If a GM does not have a 1st round pick in this year or the next then said team cannot bid on a franchise player. If a GM places a bid on a Franchised player then that team cannot trade away any 1st round picks until he is no longer the highest bidder. His 1st round picks are essentially 'locked'.
