	* '''Your bid may not exceed your [[NBA:Salary Cap\|cap space]].''' An over-cap bid that wins anyway costs 40% of the contract you offered, for a year, and you do not get the player.
	* You need a current [[NBA:Rosters#How to post\|roster post]], or every bid you make is invalid.
	* '''In-season at 15 active players''', you must state how you will create the roster spot.
	* Get the arithmetic right — '''a bid whose points are added up wrong is invalid as posted'''.
	* Editing a bid without ticking '''Add the 'Edit by' line in this post''' invalidates it.

New page
