TSS - Signing Players

Signing a Player

When signing a player, a team must agree to a contract with that player.
To sign a player contract, a team must post the transaction on Discord in the #transactions-approval channel, and the player (and the other org if signed from another team) must react to the post. Once it has been approved, a mod or commissioner will post it in the #transactions channel.
- Example: @Hawks sign @Sansbar
Players are signed on a by-season basis.
Free Agents:
- Both the player and the captain/manager of the team signing the player must agree before it is considered active.
- Any player dropped from a team will be returned to the Free Agent pool.

MMR Ceiling

At the beginning of transfer windows, each league will be assigned an MMR ceiling.
Teams may not negotiate signings with a player that has a peak MMR above their leagues MMR ceiling visible on their trackers (excluding glitches). The ceiling will be equal to roughly the league aboves average of all rostered players.

⚠️ Important

The MMR ceiling system ensures competitive balance across all leagues. Teams must verify player MMR before initiating signing discussions.

Trading a Player

A player signed to another team may only be traded if the team the player is contracted to, the team signing the player, and the player(s) involved all agree on the transaction.

Note: All parties must consent to any trade. No forced transfers are allowed.

Transfer Window

During the transfer window, teams are allowed to trade players, transfer players, drop players, and sign free agents.
Once the transfer window closes, no transactions of any type will be authorized.
Exceptions may be granted in extreme circumstances by a League Commissioner.

📅 Transfer Window Rules

All roster moves must be completed within the designated transfer window period. Plan your roster changes accordingly as late requests will not be accommodated unless approved by a Commissioner due to exceptional circumstances.
