Silent Tiebreaker

This rule can only come into play if the entire purse balance of a franchise gets exhausted. It will be used only in a scenario where a team’s ‘final bid’ for a player gets matched by another franchise, but they don’t have any money left in the purse. In such a case, the franchises will be provided with an opportunity to sign the player with a ‘Silent Tiebreaker’ bid.

Both the concerned parties will be required to submit a written bid mentioning the prize they would pay for a player beyond the ‘last bid’ they put forward earlier. 

There is no option to RTM players who played for franchises last season at this auction.
