From Section 3, subsection L, 1.a
      GM’s have until the day before GM tasks to have their draftees signed or tendered. You can tender your draftees by posting a minimum contract offer of $2.5 mil in the RFA/Draftee Chicken Tenders thread.

The GM did not tender or sign their player, therefore they go to the bidding portion of the rules

I'll do it. Head Office had come to the decision to have all three players go to bidding, as that was consistent with the rules shared and explained clearly and explicitly to SHL GMs. We determined that Jack Crasher rule, which Hamilton attempted to argue as valid, was not relevant here.

Because Hamilton GMs failed to post the contracts ONTO the site or post tender offers before the deadline, the contracts they offered were invalid. Therefore, the players go to bidding.

This is my favorite thing to do now that I know Discord DMs count for something. You can also edit the date, the username, hell, even their profile picture. If someone actually wanted to do harm with this, they definitely could.

@Memento Mori I think this gives you the perfect answer. Python did this to me as a joke. Imagine someone with malicious intents. A GM wanting to sign a FA after getting rejected, perhaps.

I think that's what we all also assumed since we have the ability to read. Well, I won't speak for everyone I guess.

Not that an appeal would’ve mattered anyway. 

Nope. No bias there.


It’s fine the guys stick with Hamilton. That’s whatever. But this punishment of a “so far into the future other teams can’t even trade it yet (but I guess they can because rules don’t matter)” 2nd rounder when these players will be at their peak is the single biggest disgrace of a punishment on this site of all time ever.

This part here feels weird to me. Hamilton could have been granted an extension of time for their GM tasks since of either 12 or 24 hours. There wasn't a big need for the owners to step in to rush to a decision from my POV.
