POSTED Arbitration Rules
I thought it would be convenient if the rules were posted in the thread.
Arbitration Rules:
Arbitration gives owners an opportunity to extend any of their players on Inaugural Contracts for up to
two additional years. During the week immediately preceding and immediately following free agency,
you will have an opportunity to offer arbitration to any of your players that just finished the third year of
an Inaugural Contract. Players that are not offered arbitration will remain in 4 year/$500K contracts
which would automatically terminate after the following season.
For players that are offered arbitration, you will retain the option to sign them to a 5th and even 6th year
based upon the WAR statistic from the immediately preceding year. In the initial year of eligibility (after
year 3 and before year 4), that salary would be based on the following table:
Previous Year’s WAR Salary
Under 1 $1,000,000
1 to 1.9 $1,500,000
2 to 2.9 $2,000,000
3 to 3.9 $2,500,000
4 to 4.9 $3,000,000
5 to 5.9 $3,500,000
6 to 6.9 $4,000,000
7 to 7.9 $4,500,000
8 and above $5,000,000
In each of the two years following year 4, owners can again offer arbitration to their remaining
arbitration-eligible players. Should you choose to keep that player, their salary will be INCREASED by the
following table based upon WAR in the immediately preceding year:
Previous Year’s WAR Salary
Under 1 $500,000
1 to 1.9 $1,000,000
2 to 2.9 $1,500,000
3 to 3.9 $2,000,000
4 to 4.9 $2,500,000
5 to 5.9 $3,500,000
6 to 6.9 $4,000,000
7 to 7.9 $4,500,000
8 and above $5,000,000
As an example, if you extended a player with a 4.01 WAR in real-life year 3, they would cost you
$3,000,000 in DMB year 4. You could extend them again after year 4 and, if their WAR was 1.6 in reallife
year 4, their salary would increase by $1,000,000 to a total of $4,000,000 in DMB year 5. You could
extend them again after year 5 and, if their WAR was 8.5 in real-life year 5, their salary would increase
by an additional $5,000,000 for a total of $9,000,000 in DMB year 6.
