this looks late... how strict do we enforce the 24 hr rule?

This is too late. How strict? I try to give the benefit of the doubt and give an hour or two leeway especially during our offseason auction since the end times can be odd with the 36 hour timer. But this is the second full evening since he was won.

Is this serious? I was like 12 hours late or something. I have a life, it was my last auction and I didn't come here within 24 hours...sorry.

If it was a week later after some breaking news hit I would understand, but it isn't. Give a guy a break.

That said if the commish decides to be strict as you say, I have no issue. Rules are rules.

Honestly I wouldn't worry too much about it right now and give him the contract. I think there have been others that have been technically late the past week as well. However I haven't been tracking the time that closely.

However I do understand that rules are rules and there is a slippery slope.

Maybe a better rule for the off-season would be 48 hours?

I don't love the 24 hour rule either and its largley my fault that this is an issue because I have let people get away with being a couple hours late. I also have failed to double check every single contract so I'm sure there have been a few that have slipped though. I try to look out for any obvious offenses and there have been multiple times when people have submitted contracts a few days late and they've had to keep the one year deal.

This one is over 16 hours late if we are going to have a 24 hour rule, I don't want 16 hours late to be ok.

But I would rather that we allow everyone more time to input the contracts during the offseason. We have to be pretty glued to the computer for a couple days and its only reasonable that you take a night off when your auction more or less ends. We all have a life and other obligations so I completely understand and would support changing the rule to allow more time.

If we did 48 hours, I think we should be very cut and dry about it. We'll also need everyone's help to ensure that we are only putting contracts requests on the message board that fall whithin this window.
